I am in Middle School-6th grade-and my feelings are changing for this friend I made, if you know what I mean. He has asked me who my crush is, but I lied, not wanting to be embarrassed. His friend might be dropping hints about who he likes, supposedly someone with the same name as me or me, but my friend says it is someone else. Also, people are teasing us for being friends, and I keep blushing, trying to look angry, and cover my tracks. What should I do? Act the same? Declare my feelings? Move to Pluto?

Well,I wouldn't move to Pluto!
I would,however,find the courage to ask him how he feels and not listen to what 'they' say.
If you don't ask you might never know.

You are in grade six, and my best advice to you, is to move to Pluto. Just kidding you.
It takes a lot of experience to be able to read between the lines where boys (and men when you are older) are concerned. A look, a few words, a message to you via a friend; all it does is leave you guessing as to what the motive/meaning is.
You could be just as right, as you are wrong in how you read these messages, so instead of worrying about it all, just learn to let go what you cannot clearly see.
Don't waste time on wishy washy behaviour that you have no control over.

Why don't you let him know how you feel? Who cares what other people think?
But don't take it too seriously. I don't mean to be negative, but you're only in 6th grade and there's a very good chance that the relationship will not work as far as "love" and "lifetime" goes. You could go on chaperoned dates, and learn about guys by "dating" him, but don't go too far with emotional involvement, or you will end up hurt big time. If you want to avoid being hurt altogether, keep him as a friend, and wait until you're older, and more mature to keep a serious relationship- feelings involved.

Thanks for the advice. I guess there was no point of asking, because I'm keeping my feelings locked up.
