What the heck am I feeling?

[exhausted-girl]

Hiya I'm Katie and I'm 16.
There's a new boy whose just moved to my school because the sixth form is mixed and now we're kind of in the same group, him and his best friend and me and my best friend (both our best friends are really close, so that's why we're now suddenly friends). Naturally we get on so well and we always spend so much time together like after school everyday we just cuddle in the hub until like 6. He knows exactly when to make me laugh and he always stares at me during lessons and when he looks at me he does the face that absolutely cracks me up. We ALWAYS snuggle and even when there were loads of other people there, I was laying on him and he was like stroking me like with his thumb and its so perfect but i feel like he does that with everyone? So do I really mean anything different than anyone else?

70% of the time he's so loud and annoying but then the other 30% of the time I have these crazy feelings for him that makes up for it and I get so jealous and really dont want to. I can't tell my best friend because it'd make things awkward and I don't think I'm ready for a relationship. What do I do?
(We had lunch together today and he invited one of my really close friends, but then gave her my umbrella and told me to snuggle into him and share his?! What the hell does that mean?!) but now I feel like I'm being clingy?


Please help, It physically aches my stomach to feel this way but I don't know what to do to stop feeling like this?

Well you should tell him how you feel. Odds are he has those same butterflies for you. Be honest with him. If you like him, then tell him. It does not matter what anybody else thinks.

You're attracted to each other.


Sometimes you don't find relationships, sometimes relationships find you.


My advice: Roll with it, but also identify boundaries on what cheating means etc. Oh yeah and make sure you have already had detailed sexual education, cause things can get hot and heavy and you need to know what to do to protect yourself if that comes up. Also if you aren't ready for that, remember it's okay to say no.

It seems like you need to take a step back from the situation and re-prioritize what it is that you want. You need to accept and allow yourself to have those feelings instead of fighting them. Then you need to ask yourself some hard questions. Do you really want your feelings for him to stop or are you just scared and hesitant? Do you actually like him and want to see if things can go further? It seems like one of those situations that need to be clarified before moving forward, if you so desire to. It's hard to evaluate your feelings sometimes but it really will help!
