This question is going to be very long and I apologize for that, but please answer it. I need some good advice.

I moved in the 7th grade and started a new school.About midway through the school year I met a girl named Stephanie that had a lot in common with me. We both liked the same things and talked every time we seen each other. I started to like her so near the end of the school year I asked her out. Turns out she has a boyfriend in the 8th grade. So it was in the past when we started the 8th grade. Then I met her friends, all were nice except for 2 of them. Anyway I had more classes with her now and started to like her again so naturally I ask her out again. She still has the boyfriend so I back off. Then I start to like her friend, we call her T. T is quiet but I liked her. That crush lasted and later on that year part of our school went to six flags. All of us were in a group with Steph's older sister. When we got there she was a lot more open. And on the bus ride back all I could think about was her and how much I loved her. I kept looking at her eyes in the mirror and I caught her staring at me once. That night I couldn't keep her off my mind. This is going to make me sound like a wuss but I actually cried I missed her so much and I couldn't wait for the next day of school just so I could see her again(that was the first time I had ever felt like that about anyone). Me and Steph were real good friends now so I asked if it would work out between me and T. She said no, because we were too different. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this but I also had a crush on T in the 7th grade. I asked her out then but she said no, I figure it was because she didn't know me. Anyway I didn't want to take agriscience again so I got interested in band(Steph, T, and everyone else are all in band). The band director let me join so I played the drums. At band camp Steph and her boyfriend broke up(and he was one of my friends now!). So she got mad at me when I would hang out with him(im not the knid of person to hold grudges). Once one of Steph's friends(a really trustworthy guy) told me what he had said about her I sided with Steph. Over band camp I started to like both Steph and T again but never asked either of them out cause they had said no before. Now we're in high school and things are starting to cool down a little, but 2 months into school something happens. Steph met this guy over an online video game(her sister knew him but Steph didnt). They hit it off and the next day at school she tells us about it. Turns out the guy is 6 years older than her. That week I was so happy for Steph. Seeing her in a happy was the best thing in the world. When her mom found out she didn't like the age difference. Steph invites him to a few football games and we become friends. When we got back from Christmas break Steph told us that she had stopped liking him and that they were never really going out in the first place. Now I have no interest in T but I am gradually starting to like Steph again. I think the reason she said no those times when I asked her out were because she had a boyfriend, but I'm not sure. One huge reason I don't want to ask her out though is because if we do start going out and break up, our friendship could be shattered.

Please tell me what you think I should do cause I have no idea.

Sorry that this is so long and I hope I didn't mess up.

Ahh, this reminds me of my middle school days. I had a crush on this guy, everyone did. Asked him out once and he said no. He liked someone else, a gorgeous looking girl. She turned him down many times actually. The only way I could keep him close to me was to be his best friend. And that we were, we talked every day, saw each other everyday, hung out everyday. I had a secret crush on him, and I think he knew it, but we never crossed that line. Don't hurt yourself again! HS is a great time to meet all sorts of people and find out who you really are! Be their good friend still but don't cross that line. It's okay to have a crush but don't let your emotions get you all worked up to the point where you cry!! Focus on yourself and your friends. You sound like an outgoing person. Girls love guys who are confident. So take care of yourself, physically and emotionally. Get to know all the kids in school and hang out with the right crowd (not the thugs, druggies). Join clubs, and get involved with school events and rallies. Sooner or later, they're going to start to notice you and remember when you use to like them! Things will happen for you, either with Steph, T, or some other lucky lady!
