ABSOLUTELY! I think its natural to be into a guy and want to flirt with him, but middle school is a weird time. Stick with the studies don't complicate your life with a guy. They are on a total different maturity level then you and will only cause you drama. Let it be as is. Talk with your friends, but leave it alone

middle school is NOTT young. i had a boyfriend when i was 2 and im fine in life. i think you should ask this boy out and not stand around waiting for him to pick up the clue. Unless your family/parents have a rule agaisnt this- i say go for it!

I'm in middle school, so this advice is from experience: Go for it. Your heart may be broken, but you need to know what it's like. I decided to try a middle school relationship (I've only had one so far). I had lots of fun and I learned a lot about the real world and responsibility. My heart was broken ( ), and it hurt, but I got over it, and I learned from it.

So, do it. It's a great experience.

Well, consider the possibilities:
No-- in Muslim countries brides are married to their (older) husbands at 11 or 12 and have the first baby within a year. Seems young to Europeans and Americans, but fine to them. On the other hand, in some of those countries a man is expected to "take" more than one wife.... And, it's "for life" which these days can mean 90+. (That's a LONG time.)
Yes-- I'm 48 and there were kids "going out" in 6th grade when I was growing up. The girls were all from what used to be called "broken homes" the boys were all from 2-parent families with at least one alcoholic parent. We are all grown up now and to a one every girl who got kissed in Grade 6, 7 or 8 is divorced with kids and an alcoholic with drug problems. One girl is even in prison for DUI manslaughter and one died of Syphillis. Of the boys, every one is divorced and all are alcoholics. And, this was after abortion was legalized -- no one was forced into a marriage because they were prego. Rather, getting started too early seems to be a function of coming from a dysfunctional family and growing up to be dysfunctional. The rest of us that waited until high school (or later) are all married with children and contributing members of society. Just an observation.

i am going to middle school next year and my mom my said that im not allowed to to go out yet but i agree with her
alot of people say im out of my mind but i think that like what my mom says i should wait until high school
i think high school is the perfect time to start dating

Nah...I'm in middle school and I've already gone out with a couple girls. Be comfortable, if you don't want to be sexual, then don't. If he leaves you then it wasn't going to work out.

I agree with the other girl who said that you should definitly set limits for yourself, don't feel like you have to do anything un-needed just to get the attention from a boy you might like. Throughout the rest of your aducational life there will be plenty of other oppertunities to go for. Being in high school now (with not so good grades) has me wishing that I payed more attention to what was going on rather then other unimportant things. Everybody gets crushes, just be yourself, what else can you do?
