CRUSHES

Advice

Who to believe: Your crush or his friends?


There is this guy that I like a lot, and a lot of his friends have told me that he likes me back. We have the same interests and we hang out all the time. Some people even ask us if we are going out. The only problem is that he is a junior and I'm a freshman. A few weeks ago he told me to stop flirting with him because he is too old for me, but he still flirts with me all the time! I know he is older and all, but he is a great person, and lately I have really noticed that he likes me. Should I just forget about him and go for someone my own age or not?
Hey chica! Eek -- this guy is definitely sending you some mixed signals! That’s awesome that you have the same interests and hang out all the time -- it’s a great way to build a future relationship. It sounds like he might like you, but isn’t sure what to do about it. But, he could also just be a major player (older guys tend to be a lot more flirtatious).
The only way to really know what he wants is to go straight to the source. Ask him how he feels and you’re sure to get some answers. If he does like you, but is wary of the age difference, that’s okay. Maybe waiting a few months would be good for both of you. By the time you’re a sophomore you’ll feel older and probably more comfortable with him. If he seems wishy-washy or noncommittal, it may be best to just forget about him. Look around for a new cutie in your class that will give you all his attention. You deserve the best!
