I'm in love again. Seriously.=

This isn't like one of those childhood crushes. I'm old enough to date now...

I mean, this guy is like, perfect! I mean:

Obsession with Pokemon/Lavender Town? Check. Nice? Check. Confident? Check. Modest? Check. Meek? Check.

So...what do YOU think?

And he likes me back. Seriously he does.

The problem is, I'm caught in a love triangle. I like him, he likes me, but there's this other girl who likes him, and I'm afraid he's going to start dating her and just ignore me...

I'm surprised that your old enough to date and you see an obssession with pokemon/lavender town as a good thing.

dude go play xbox and shush about this stuff.
kinda awkwarddddddddddd

I haven't had a crush for a few months now since mine moved away, and I normally don't give advice on crushes, but I'll give you advice anyways. I'll take it sentence by sentence.

I'm in love again. Seriously.= *First, ask yourself if you are REALLY in love. Do you like his personality? Would want to kiss him (potentially)? People often mistake crushes for true love. Crush: someone you think is cute and kind of nice, but you find yourself too nervous to talk to him. Not true love. Has POTENTIAL to be true love, but not yet. Decide why you like him.*

This isn't like one of those childhood crushes. I'm old enough to date now... *Okay, if you have decided why you like him, then keep going. And age doesn't matter when it comes to dating and boyfriends, so long as you feel comfortable with it and you are over 10 (10 year olds may have crushes, but you should probably wait until you are more mature. Not to say a 10 year old CAN'T have a boyfriend. And remember you have a whole life to live. You don't NEED to have a boyfriend now, but if you WANT one, sure. Just don't go overboard.*

I mean, this guy is like, perfect! I mean: *Okay, accept that he isn't perfect. If you carry on, there will be fights. And about 70-80% of the time, it doesn't end in a beautiful fairytale ending. Note that about 50% of marriages end in divorce. This pertains to boyfriends as well. 50/50 chance of going well. Just give yourself a reality check and stop daydreaming about it being perfect.

Obsession with Pokemon/Lavender Town? Check. Nice? Check. Confident? Check. Modest? Check. Meek? Check. *Those are pretty good reasons. I have noticed that you haven't mentioned cute. That's a good sign. "He's nice" is a valid reason. "He's cute" is not

So...what do YOU think?

And he likes me back. Seriously he does. *Research body language and learn to recognize it. Does he look at the ground when he talks to you? Tries to avoid you in the halls? Does he purposefully touch his feet to yours? That last one would mean he was flirting. There are several others, so make sure to look it up. Also, watch how he talks to you. Does he take every excuse to talk to you? Does he always seem to be avoiding you when you try and talk to him, but you always catch him staring at you or smiling at you?*

The problem is, I'm caught in a love triangle. I like him, he likes me, but there's this other girl who likes him, and I'm afraid he's going to start dating her and just ignore me... *Now this is the tricky part. Make SURE she likes him, or if she's just being genuinely nice. people tend to get pretty protective over crushes. And just let things happen. You can try and impress him, but it's his choice to which girl he likes.*

To impress:

DO:
-Be approachable and likable.
-Act natural.
-Talk to him.
-Keep yourself looking decent (but don't go over the top with tons of make-up and things of the like). Fortunately, most boys don't pay as much attention to your wardrobe, makeup and hairstyle as much as girls do.
-Treat him like any other friend for the most part. BUILD UP to the romance.

DON'T:
-Use the old "dropped purse" method. It's the oldest trick in the book, and on top of that I think it's downright silly.
-Act unattainable. This isn't a very common mistake, but just making sure you don't. Works as a plot device in the movies, but never in real life.
-Try too hard to make yourself pretty (as already mentioned above). You will look stuck up.
-Act like you're having a panic attack around him. Any human being can see if you're hyperventilating. Including him. I know it's hard, but follow the golden rule: ACT. NATURAL.

well 11 isnt necassarily too young to date but you basically have to be the most mature person you know

at your age i would just flirt a lot and become really good friends

that would make dating later more possible and legit

True, true.

Albeit you can't really help having a crush on the oppisite gender......

unless you're gay

Nothing wrong w/ being gay, either. Or in my opinion. Not meant as flamebait. Honestly.

I thought you said you were dead.

What for?

My LR buttons are broken, because my nephew threw the thing across the room. I didn't even know he had it until i walked into my room and saw it lying there, and when I played it it didn't work.

For a sec I was thinking nephew somehow meant you had a child, then I remembered it is your sibling's child
