CRUSHES

I like this boy that goes to my church, and I think he's flirting with me. He'll be smiling at me, he does funny things to make me laugh, and every time I go home I can’t stop smiling and thinking about him. I smile back and laugh, but I want to take to the next step.

Next year I will be going to his school, and all my friends go to the school he goes to. I am 14 and just about everyone has a boyfriend. I don't really know if he has a girlfriend, but no matter I don't know what to do and I don't want it to be awkward telling him I [love] him. Should I just let it leak out through people that I like and wait till he comes to me? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

You should just talk to new crush. Find him at church and start a conversation. Get to know him better to find out if he has a girlfriend, if you two have common interests, things like that. After you have been talking to him for awhile—not just a few minutes, more like a few days or even weeks—let him know that you like him.

If he really does like you, he might even ask you out before then. If you leak your secret, you might make it weird between you and crush. It might freak him out. Get to know him and see what happens!
