Help!, I've gotten obsessed! :'( Options

[Dreamers]

Okay, there is a guy a couple years older than me, hes in 8th grade, so as you know, im young and crushes are natural for a 6th grader but...He is my brothers friend, hes real cute and funny, and he spends the night at our house often to play video games/get on computer with my bro. I usually hang out with them when he comes over. anyway, it started out as a little flicker of happiness when I saw him, but now its gotten to where I need to exchange words with him or see his face at LEAST once a day to remain in a good mood! He likes someone else, i know that much. Basically, I don't stand a chance with him, and I NEED to get over him, I just can't though! He has these eyes that laugh, so I can never stay mad at him! I need some way to get over him before I get hurt by it.



I'm like a little sister in his eyes, I can tell because....


*He pushed me onto the couch at aunts house, then rolled me onto the floor. When I got up, he pushed me back onto the couch. pounced on me, then got off, laughing the whole time, like I've seen my brother do to our 5 year old cousin.

*He loves to poke me!

*He gets quite annoyed when I complain about something

*Once I got hurt at school, i loked at the scratch said 'Oh, apparently it left a mark.' He was like 'Oh, lemme see!' then acted like he was gunna punch me where I got hurt.

*He loves to mess up my hair, escpecially if I just got out of the shower.

*sometimes he just asks to get a slap!


* I had to be sandwitched by him in Scholar Bowl when I went into sub for my friend. I said "Sorry, dude. i'm squeezing in." He smiled at said he didn't mind, at least he got to sit by someone he knew.

* he willingly sat by me with open seats. This again was probably because he doesn't know the other scolar bowl members too well.


These are all things that a guy would do to a younger sister, am I correct? We are both on Scholar Bowl, so we see each ther alot.




Anyway, I'm liking him more by the second, and as I said, I'm going to end up getting hurt by the guy who likes me as a sister, and has a crush on another girl. Help me!!!!

Wow... I hadn't even noticed a boy's romantic value until I was a sophomore in high school. You started young! Lol, just kidding.

From what you say, this guy seems pretty nice. It would be terrible to lose him as a friend. But at the same time, I can see why you would want to get over the feelings you have. Instead of focusing on his bad points, why don't you focus on somebody else entirely? That's how I got over my first crush, I found another - less significant - one. Of course your heart will follow the original, but sometimes you can trick your mind into a new obsession. And the new obsession doesn't hurt as much because it isn't real.

I know this probably sounds ridiculous, but I swear it works. For me... anyway. Find a new guy, write poems, stories, letters about him. Force yourself to daydream about the guy, anything to help you move on. You could probably even pick a celebrity to obsess about if you wanted to. Lol. Love is hard, as I'm sure you already know. The best thing you can do is give it time and not think too much on the matter.
