what shall I do?

I kinda like a boy, we used to talk everyday, then he told me that he loves me, I said okay, then he said it again, and my answer was okay, after 1 week, I told him that I like him, and we talk, but he used to like a friend so I think it's too awkwardd, and I don't know what to do?
—Guest you don't have to know.

I love her, but...

This girl I know online is well. Straight as an arrow, and I'm pansexual and falling for her. She turned down someone else, and well... I can't bear the thought of losing her.

Love is when you feel butterflies in the stomach or when you hurt so bad in the heart when heartbroken.you can't live without him/her and would do anything for them...even die

My best friend's brother.

He's best friend's brother. We started talking and we got to know each other really well. We message each other all the time and we make stupid phone calls just to say how much we mean to each other, which is rather soppy ha ha. He's ALWAYS on my mind. Everything i see reminds me of him. He makes me laugh and smile all the time. Everything he does puts a smile on my face. I'm mesmerized by the way he looks at me with his beautiful blue eyes. He makes me forget that anyone else is around me. He call me his little princess and i call him handsome. This all sounds good, but he doesn't "like" me the way that i like him. He doesn't know how strongly i feel for him. We tell each other that we love one another, but i mean it. He always says he loves me more, but I know that isn't true, not unless he secretly feels the way that i do. Nobody has ever made me feel the way that he does, and i believe that i might just be falling in love with him, for the first time in my life.

Loving someone and falling in love

I wouldn't doubt that I'm in love now, but I wouldn't go around screaming it at everyone I know. I literally met him in fifth grade, but having no interest in boys at the time I hardly got to know him, which sucks, because he's an amazing person to know. By the end of sixth grade we had actually talked, but barely at all. Then at the start of seventh grade he was the locker next to mine and I was kind of excited because he is kind of perfect. We almost never talked since I was scared of pushing him away, but I eventually was brave enough to start saying "bye, have a nice night!" Everyday after school. I assume he hardly even noticed I did that, until a year and a half later I'm sitting in his lap and he tells me that's when he realized he loved me. We started a very awkward relationship a few weeks after I started saying bye. We hardly knew each other! But we never rushed ourselves, and I think we slowly fell into a real love. He's now my everything and I need him just to function:)

age

im head over heals in love with the almost perfect guy, the only problem is his age, he is 9 years older than me and a family friend. I'm scared to tell him how i feel cause I'm scared it will ruin our friendship or make things awkward if he doesn't feel the same. anybody have any solutions or a similar problem? help will be appreciated :)

I just CAN'T

I know this is silly but...there's this Guy I've liked since 5th grade..we dated once. And it was a fail..but he left me unable to love anyone but him.. I want to tell him this: I would cross the ocean and sky, to be by your side. Take your hand,and put it in mine. Steal your heart, and give you mine...
—Guest DX

now what?

I'm 13 and i love this guy a lot...i didn't know if I was in love but now i see him everywhere. In my dreams, in the school and even in everyone's face! I am very shy to tell this to anyone but my closest friends because he is kind of the-most-naughty-boy-of-the-class and he has recently turned to be in a relationship. I actually tried to hate him after that but i could not stop caring about him. I think I'm in serious love

How can you tell if you are falling in ?

The word love is used to define many concepts-many often intermingled with one another. Used as such it has little meaning as a concept. I presume this blog is that of romantic love. A few notes on being in love( in its extreme sense): *that person seems to melt your emotions *Emotionally you tend to put that person on a pedestal. Suddenly you feel everything connected to them is special-even the street they live on. *The feelings make you lose appetite and the thoughts make it difficult to sleep. By questioning whether you're in love-YOU'RE NOT! (A small percentage of being in love makes all doubt disappear). *The thought of both of you being stranded on an island for life doesn"t bother you one bit. *The thought of not being with that person makes the rest of your life seem meaningless and you feel as if you're just going through the motions. *You feel forlorn, even after the scars heal.

So confused!!!

this is so confusing!There is this crush i have in school i have liked him for over a year now and now i have suspicions that he likes me back!I think i may be in love with him but we are only 13(i know its young but anything is possible in this world) and he has had a lot of girlfriends but only dates them for a week or two then they break up.i want a serious relationship though and whats worse is that his friends say he likes me but they like to tease me a lot so they could be lying.I really am starting to think i am in love with him (i read over everything that suggests i am in love)and i am in hysterics!This is too much!
