I'm 13, a teen of course, but I've liked this guy since 3rd grade, and we dated once, but he was clingy and I told him, so he dumped me.
Now that I'm in 8th grade, I feel like a need a boyfriend, but I only want Tyler, the guy who I have liked since 3rd grade. He knows I like him, but he's a jocky football player and I'm just a normal girl who only talks to preps.
He says he likes me and I can tell he does, but he cares so much about what his friends think! :( My dad says I'm too young to love, but what I feel is unexplainable, but ill try to express myself.
When I see him, my heart nearly stops. He makes it hard to breathe. His smile makes me melt, and my tummy turns when he speaks to me. When we are close, I get this strong urge to just hold his hand. And he makes me feel like there's no one else in this world who could make me happy.
Everything feels so ... perfect with him. I feel like I'm the earth and he's the axis! Everything I do is for him. I put on my makeup, so he'll think I'm pretty. i buy prep clothes so I'll fit in with his friends. I spend extra time on my hair, so he'll notice. I try just about anything just so I can be near him.
At church, it's like it's just me and him. Side by side with no one else. I could just lay in his arms for hours and never move. I could live forever right there, listening to his fast pumping heart beat!
My mom says I'll get over him, but I don't see how. I just want to be friends with him, but it's hard because I crave for him to be my one and only true love. And he knows I like him, so he flirts which makes it harder.
I'm sure you think I could just walk away, but I need him in my life , like if he's not there even as a friend, I might do something that I, my friends, and my family will regret me doing.
I know it will be hard, but he wants his friends more than he does me, so could someone give me some advice on how to get over him, so we can just be friends? :(
