So yeah, tomorrows the big ballroom dancing Gala at the Middle-High school. I'm SUPER nervous. And kind of-I'll say it-jealous. There's this girl in my grade. My friend came over to my house. She has a facebook. So does the girl. I chatted with the girl and found out she likes BOTH of the boys that I like. (I know. This is stupid. But I'm going through it.) And now she gets to do the Tango with one of the boys I like and another dance with the other. And my dance teacher joked that the boy, in the Tango, has to buy the girl a RED ROSE. I know I shouldn't be jealous, because the girl is nice, and I got paired up with some other people. She and both the boys are in the same class. So I didn't have a chance anyway, because I'm in a different class.
IN short: This sucks.
Any advice on how to deal with nervousness AND jealousy?
Thanks in advance smile
EDIT: Please answer this by tomorrow at 6:30 PM. That's when I go to my elementary school to a pizza party before the Gala.

I wish I could help, but I'm not good in that kind of stuff. hmm

Hmm...

Depends.

Are you a boy or a girl?

As for nervousness, you must learn to develop an extreme level of apathy, such that you don't really care if you get embarressed.

For jealousy, tell everyone involved about your feelings. If they mock you, rely on the above mentioned apathy.

Can't really help you there.

Jealousy is a natural thing, but that doesn't mean you should act on it. I don't know how old you are, but since you said middle school, I'm saying you're 14 tops (I guess 15 if your middle school includes 9th grade). I personally believe that
a) you shouldn't date until you can drive.
b) you shouldn't date until you are looking for a potential husband/wife.
The emotions you're feeling are completely natural, they're not wrong. What's wrong is when you choose to act on them (in ways you wouldn't normally, or in ways that are...questionable). So, I can't really tell you what to do about them, except to go to this dance to have fun, not so you can get a date.

P.S. Wouldn't you be more nervous if you got to dance with one of the guys you liked?

I at least agree with letter a of that statement. who wants to have their parents drive them around for that?

I'm almost 11. I'm just doing a performance at the Middle/high school. We HAVE to do this, it's not a dance. It has been a project we are working on in school that finishes today. No one has SERIOUSLY dated in my grade-yet. Anything can happen at a 5th grade ballroom dance Gala. I posted this just to clarify.

Too much drama for an 11 year old

Nexstudent · 2011-03-17 15:19:47

Jealousy huh.

It makes you angry and anxious. Just think of the positive side of what you can do without something.

Say your friend has a new DS. Say you don't have one.

Think of the many things you can do without a DS.

It is more simplistic than you think.

Musicstar888 · 2011-03-17 20:32:13

I guess your right, Nextstudent. Thank you all. I know it's not as bad as I express it to be, but I guess I'm getting over it now. BTW The Gala was a sucess, and I'm not jealous anymore because I KNOW this boy I like has a crush on me. big_smile He was staring at me whenever I saw him. smile smile smile
