    I went out with this girl, and we loved each other very much. We would always tell each other we love each other. we never kissed cuz im really shy and don't talk much. becuz i dont talk much, she broke up wit me. we still flirt with each other and i still love her. i tried to get her back, but she said if i wasn't with another guy i would be going back out. Is she joking? Also my other friend, said she was checking me out, but i never noticed it. i asked her and she said "i don't remember". i told her i didn't notice cuz i was lost in her eyes. she said"awwww". She always calls me cute, messes with me, calls me boob(she has always called me that), invites me to everything, touches me(pushes, pinches, ect.) when she can, and she looks at me, but when i look at her, she looks away. She is really nice and very beautiful. i text her constantly and if i dont text her first, she texts me at any chance possible. Does she still like me or not? Please help and thank you also, im only 13 and we r BFF's now. she told me that she wishes we would have kissed and i feel bad. we only went out for about a month

    We offical broke up tuesday and to sum up why we broke up, he wanted a break for a week, I was misunderstanding.dumped him the next day. he wanted me back, I said sorry and we were gona get back together then **** happened and he never called then he tried to call but I was mad because he took so long so I made it sound like I didn't want him back then he was hurt and didn't want me back when I tried the next day and then I sent him a sorry message and say I am understanding now, I was wrong and blah. he accepted it but he still wants to be friends. were on good terms now Anyway. I went up to his locker to say hi to him and the whole time he was making eye conact with me and smiling and laughing and was all happy. He was like "Hi! how are you, how did your finals go" and stuff. and like "What are you doing this weekend" so we talked a little bit but the whole time I acted depressed then he was like "are you wearing lotion or something" then he's like with a teasing smile "you smell reallly goood" and he just kept looking at me and then after I thought I should go, cause I thought he was leaving and when I tried to leave he went up to me and he was just like laughing and he's like where are you going and I said "social studies" and he's like "ok I will walk you there" so I just wanted to be like uh no because I wanted to cry but I was like ok but I walked behind him and I was looking at the ground then he appeared next to me and he's like "are you ok" and im like "yeahh" and he looked at my shoes and since their all draw over he laughed and he's like again with this teasing, cute smile "I likke your outfit"and im like "thanks.." (but the thing is I was just wearing a baggy gray sweatshirt,jeans and conversers..nothing special) and then he moved my hair and touched my face and smiled and I kinda smiled akwadly and he seemed like he felt akward then and hes like "something wa son ur uh face" and im like "thanks..." and then I kinda stoped talking to hima and he turned at the corner without saying bye -also at his locker I noticed he left up my post it note that I put on saying "my full name loves his full name forever. so I mean idn maybe he just didnt feel like taking it down. so does it sound like hes still attracted to me. because I mean eys I want him back but I atleast wana no hes still attracted to me. like I mean I am nto saying I would fool around with him, but does it sounds like he could be freinds with benefits with me. because myabe going to a realtionshipw would be stupid because hes leavinf gor college next year. but I really do love him and I mean I wana be more then friends.

    my story is that i met this guy from england in januarywhile he was here in the states on vacation, and we really hit it off. i hung out with him only twice for a total of maybe 7-8 hours or so. i FELL IN LOVE. and he really started to like me too, and he told me he did. when he went back to england, i found him on facebook like he wanted me to and we talked occaionally. then i noticed he was in a relationship...slowly we havent talked in a long time. im extremely jealous of this girl because i know that if he was here, we'd be together. now we havent talked in a few months. i know he has completely moved on. i still think about him everyday. everything reminds me of him and its really hard. i even sent him a message recently and recieved no return. people have given me the same advice to move on already and they'll be another guy just as good or better. its just impossible. ive tried to find a distaction in another guy, but theres no one. i dont know what i expected, i mean really. its just hard to know that he read my message and didnt even respond. its been 11 months, and i still havent gone through a day that i havent thought of him. i hate that he doesnt think of me like that... what should i do? song suggestions? HELP

    So this is what happened yesterday, I was at lunch in my table talking with my BFF's. And then this guy name Luis came over to our table with his detention paper and showed it to his friends. Then I heard Luis say "Hey hang hang on I got to talk to this girl." So he sat next to me and he said "What's up?" and he just kept staring at me up and down. And I said nothing much and then he said "So anything personal you want to tell me? Because I know yesterday your friends said you like me...Oh wait, what was it? Right....Genevieve likes me." (genevieve is my name but when he said that he didn't mean it in a mean way) Then after he said that he looked down at the table and was nervous for a few seconds then he said "Why did you tell your friends that you like me? I wanted it to be kept a secret..." and I just told him I don't know. And then he was like "Did you just looked at me in the yearbook?" and I told him yes and then suddenly my friend Cassandra just blirted out to me saying "Genevieve don't act like a *****...." and I told her "But I'm not acting like a *****...." and then Luis said "Who called you a *****?" and I said "Cassandra did." and suddenly it looked like as if he defended me because he said this to Cassandra: "Shut the **** up don't call her a *****." then he looked at his picture in the yearbook and he said to his own picture "Haha **** you!" very rapidly. Then somehow at the end he just kept staring at me and staring at me and so did I and I was a little nervous and then Cassandra said "Why are you staring at her?" and he said "I don't know 'cause I'm bored...." and he kept staring at me and not looking anywhere else and I also stared at him and we didn't say anything. Then I heard my other friend Marrisa whispering to my friend Cassandra saying "I think there having there moment...." and then the bell rong and then he got out of his chair and I just packed up and when he passed by me he turned back to look at me one more time. Also in the beginning I called him cute and he then he said "Yeah...." while staring down. I think he doesn't want to admit that he also likes me too? Also I kind of stalk him when he talks to girls and he just acts all normal to them and he doesn't even stare at them that much and I've noticed that he talks to them differently then when he talks to me. Does he like me? Is he kind of nervous to admit his feelings even though he has the confidence to come and talk to me? How can I move on to the next level with him? We don't know each other that much we recently started talking about 1/2 weeks ago. Also I swear whenever he stares at me he stares STRAIGHT INTO MY EYES not anywhere else and so do I. My heart beats a little because I do like him.
