First real crush!

So I'm not sure if this is puberty related or not but I like this guy, and he recently came out. I am not sure what to do to let him know that I've kinda liked him for a while. What should I do?

[Abyssal Echo]

start by introducing yourself....talk to him and see where things go from there. I wish ya the best...hope it works out for ya

Puberty Boys :arrow: Teen Sexuality. This could go in Relationships and Dating, but because of this type of question because he just came out you might get better answers here since you'll get people who been through this and can help you.

I think you should just be straight with him, pun intended, and just tell him the truth there is no point lying, he could like you as well, go for it!

Whatever you do, don't keep it couped up inside of you.
Doing that destroyed me.

Get acquainted, and go for it. You have no idea how much him coming out helps your chances. Trust me, I know.

[Magnus Bane]

get to know him introduce your self to him. get to know and slowly come out to him. tell him you like him and see if he likes you. then take it from there.

My advice is a littlw different. I say introduce yourself and get to know him of course but take your time. These things take a while , never want to act too hastily and regret something later. Best of luck!

I actually went through this myself so I'd like to share my story with you. So when I was in 10th grade, this boy in my class stood up and came out to the class to show he was proud of himself. I admired him so much and I didn't realize I was gay then but I knew that I was attracted to guys. So we became friends and I continued to think I was straight and then last year when I was in 12th grade, I realized I liked him. It was in internal battle for me and I finally came out to him on his birthday and told him how much of an inspiration he had been in me coming to accept it. He was happy to have a gay friend and it was nice because he would obviously accept me since he was gay himself. Within 2 days, I told him I used to have a crush on him and he said the same and then we started dating. So if I were you, I'd tell him that you are interested in guys and develop a friendship and see where it goes! Hope I can help and I wish you the best!
