I'm in middle school and I have a crush on this guy that I see in the hallways. What's not good is that he's two years older than me. What's bad is that he isn't single. What's worse is that he kind of has three "girlfriends" that he's always hanging out with and hugging. What's the worst is that he smokes weed and he's only like 14. I know I shouldn't like him, and I know he's a bad influence, and I know he's taken, and I know my parents wouldn't like him, but I can't help liking him. I've looked for his MySpace and all his friends say he's a really great guy and that he's the kind of friend that they can always talk to... but these are 8th grade guys. I don't know what I should do. Also he's like the only "emo" guy at the school, so a lot of girls like him. And if he did break up with the girl that's basically his main girlfriend he has too many other options that are more interesting and better looking than me. :( I keep getting frustrated with myself because he's a pothead and he's not my type at all, but I keep finding myself liking him.

He sounds to me like the kind of guy that would say something like, "bros before hos"
He's good to his mates and they respect him because he can get any girl.
The girls all like him because he's the bad boy. You don't want to be caught up in the mess with him! Remember it's just a crush, I know it may seem like a big deal right now but in the long run you will have already forgotten him. As soon as he hits high school, he's going to find that there are a lot of guys just like him, and he'll be nothing special.

14. Smokes pot. Has three "girlfriends". And is emo.

... sounds like a winner to me.

Wait about 4 years. See what happens. Then laugh at him.

Don't get caught up in that. You know that cute but shy guy in class who does decently in school and is really nice? He'll be the winner later.

You seriously shouldn't focus on him... he obviously isn't someone to get involved with him. Because as mentioned, when he hits high school he'll be one of the many "emos" and he won't have any future and he'll be a loser. You shuld so go for there cute shy guy. Because also like it has been mentioned, there will be more to him than meets the eye and he'll later in life be the guy girls want but you'll be the girl who has him ;-].

Look I would tell you to leave him alone cause you can do better but I'm more or less in the same situation but with me he's the same age. Look if you really like him make him notice you and then play a little hard to get but not to hard cause then he'll go to another girl just add a little spice to the game to make himfeel the sae way about you as you do about him!

Trust me it works (or at least it did for me, about a year ago(lol))

Hey hun, listen I know exactly what you are going through. Im in 8th grade but When I was in sixth grade I dated the 'bad boy'. I know crushes are hard to get over but I can promise you, he's not worth it. He probably has all the girls liking him right? And all the guys are his 'friends' right? And he gets into trouble and thinks its cool right? Oh and he thinks drugs are cool and that dying is great right? If you can answer yes to any of these questions then he probably is not worth it. Remember the guy who is quiet and conservative, does good in school and isn't a major jerk? He's the one you should think about not some dumb 8th grader who thinks he's amazing.

Get to know him and see what happens!!

if life were a fairy tale you'de be the princess and he's be the prince!

That just came out of the blue!
