I guess i just wanted to blurt this all out.

Sometimes it helps a lot to do that, Em. I hope it all works out!

thanks Rob. i talk to my friend about alot of stuff but this is something where nobody really knows me in person and knows these boys so it helps.

:alright: Emily! Boys can be such a headache. Whether you like them or dislike them, they always seem to be on your mind, don't they? Just ask our beloved Rob!

Actually, I seldom have boys on my mind.

That's good to know. I would hate to call the police on you.

Boys can be trouble Emily, but if you don't do anything you know you shouldn't do, pray, and don't let anyone make you do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, then you'll be better off than a lot of young girls.

Wow, isn't that the truth? I could barely concentrate on school in middle school, I was so in love with someone!! And it was the real thing...I assure you---it was 9th grade, (which is actually high school nowadays), and I had ALL my classes with him. Problem was, his BEST FRIEND liked me. The best friend even asked me to 'go' with him, but I only had eyes for the other guy! The love was unrequitted, all throughout my Senior, and although I adore my hubby, this is a regret of mine that I never told him how I felt. Yes, indeed, boys can be a headache!! But they can be fun too. I like Cheryl's advice, Emily. Go with that and you'll do well in life!

thanks everyone. Connor is full of himself so that really made me not like him anymore.

Emilyanne...I think it was very nice of Blake to ask your Dad if he could email you. That shows he is respectful. It shouldn't hurt to email and or talk on the phone for awhile. Get to know him well before you go any further. If he really respects and likes you he will hang around and want to know you. At your age, alot of girls are jumping right into dating and I personally think you need to wait awhile for that.
Its fun to have friends that are guys. You'll know it soon enough if he's someone you could eventually go on a date with. Good Luck!

you are right. I'm not allowed to date until i'm in college so that really wasn't an option. it is fun having guys that are friends. i like him and all but it is nice to just talk to him as a friend and not feel strange around him. Thank you Gin for writing that!

Anytime Emilyanne! Hope your school day has gone well. Dont be a stranger, but do that homework first! Smiles...Gin

yep. school went well. i haven't had homework yet. *knocks on wood*

I know it's been over a month since the last post to this topic, but I can totally relate to the feeling of stress over guys, emily! I'm also kind of shy like you, and I'm afraid to say hi to a guy or even smile at him in the halls! I liked this guy at my school, LJ, for over a year and I got really upset last month when he had a girlfriend at our school. it wouldn't matter to me if his girlfriend went to a different school because then I wouldn't have to see them together! but I sort of stopped liking him after that.

yeah. that sometimes really stinks. all of us aren't allowed to date, but we all have crushes and what not.

I would be allowed to date but I don't have a boyfriend. It kind of bothers me because my best friends have all had boyfriends but not me! I'm kind of weird though, I have a crush on a guy whose an older brother of a different guy I liked two years ago! at least you're allowed to be friends with boys! sometimes they can be better friends than girls. my best friend of 11 years is a boy

wow. see only one girl i think in my school has a boyfriend. like you said, sometimes boys are better friends. it is strange. they don't really fight with you and they are there to talk. well i hope that something goes your way. your friends wont/shouldn't judge you just because you don't have a boyfriend. it can be hard because they will be hanging out with their guy and you don't want one. just remember don't get a boyfriend just because all of your friends have one.

my friends don't judge me because I don't have a boyfriend, it just feels awkward sometimes like if I'm with my best friend and then her boyfriend comes up to us, even though I sort of know her boyfriend. I almost feel bad for him though because he's always right there wanting to talk to her (my best friend) and usually she's like talking to friends and not to him.

I agree with you emily. I could name kids at my high school who would do something with someone, or atleast say they've done something, just for attention, and it can be annoying. I hate seeing the guy I have a crush on talking to other girls, but I can't really stop him. I just wish I wasn't so shy!
