Crushcrushcrush.

Well, I'm in a predicament of sorts. I've liked this girl for about 4 years (I'm turning 15 this Summer), and I've known she likes me back for about 3 years. I know this girl through my church, and almost everyone in the church knows that we like each other, but our parents say we're too young to be dating or really in a relationship yet, and we never really talk about it but whenever we're just hanging with friends it's always like this awkward atmosphere, since we both know we like each other. I won't go too much into detail, but any advice would be appreciated.

What about you? Have you ever had a crazy crush on someone, knowing they do or don't like you back? Maybe I won't feel so alone. ;)

Peace~

Yes, I've had a crazy crush on someone. I didn't know whether or not he liked me back but, we've always eyed each other in the class we both took. It's kind of awkward because I'm sure he knows I like him and I wouldn't really say anything to him.

As for your situation, I'd say wait till you're a bit older. Just try to keep in touch with her. You both go to the same church so I'm sure communication will not be a problem.

I have had my fair share of crushes as well, some of them being hopeless. However, yours doesn't sound hopeless since you said she has had a crush on you as well, for 3 years. If she really means that much to you, and you're ok with waiting, then stay in touch with her and hopefully things work out for the best :)

I had a pretty hopeless crush on someone a few years ago, but it was one of a kind. Usually I don't develop a crush until I know I have a chance with that person. Before that, there's not much else besides being attracted physically. I hold myself back because I knew how bad it was when you're head over heels for someone you'll never be with. It's not like that in your situation, though, as far as I can tell. She likes you back and it's lasted for a very long time already, which is promising. Like the others said, try and wait until your parents will allow it then go for it. Good for you for respecting your parents' wishes, a lot of teens would not do that.

If you want a relationship, then try not to let what others around you influence your decisions too much; do what is right for you. Unless it would make you both pariahs, I can't see how speaking about a potential relationship would do anyone any harm.
