My Brother's crush (major)

[Nihilus]

This is for my little bro. Okay he went onto his email. Lily (his crush) that she had a boyfriend. He really likes her, he said ," I love her more than my life." He wants to tell her how he feels but he is scared because he thinks she may think of him as a dork. He is wondering what to do. The reason I wrtote this is that he is to young to post on this site. He need advice so please give him some advice.:D

How old is your brother? I personally don't believe in relationships below 14. Neither member is mature enough nor old enough to have a true and deep relationship. Personal belief. But if he really likes her, he and she can hang out. He just needs to buck up and try. Step out of your box. If you are rejection, well shit, rejections a bitch.

He is 12.

He is 12.

Wowww. Okay, he doesn't even know what romantic love IS at that age. Kids are getting caught up in adult (or at least TEENAGER) issues that's ahead of their time. He should be making FRIENDS with girls now that he doesn't think they have "cooties". He's to young to have to deal with the stress/rejection of relationships this early in his life.

huh. tell that to the kids in my old school. grade 5 they started dating. one of my friends is engaged for christs sakes. at 13. i think its just because her boyfriend wants to get into her pants. but anyways.



i believe that 13(grade 8) is the least age you can be to have a gf/bf. younger then that, most people who go out with each other, usually its an excuse to hug and to slow dance at any school dances. thats all.

12, huh? Seems kinda young for romantic (or even erotic) love. I wonder why your brother has such strong feelings now. 'Loving someone more than life' sounds not only very dramatic, but pretty desperate, too. Something to explore with him.

I think at any age the best calculus is risk v. reward, or expectations. At 12, I'd really question what his exoectations are. I doubt she can 'go out' with him in any meaningful way, so maybe this is an opportunity to help him see that he doesn't really need to bare his soul here. Instead, encourage him to deal with his emotions inside, privately, and maybe just have her as a 'friend', which seems more age appropriate, anyway. That way, he can enjoy her company w/o taking the risk of rejection from someone who in all probability has different needs than his at this age.

There's nothing wrong with two12 year olds dating just as long as it doesn't evolve into sexual things. Just tell your brother to go for it and see if she likes him.

He is mentally mature for his age...
