I am 12 years old and when I was 11 I started going out with my friends we kept dating in secondary school but then we both decided just to be friends because we wasn't the bast with the relationship stuff, back then I was a tomboy but I have changed to a more like girly-girl. I have only dated one other boy since him and he hasn't dated anyone since me. Recently I have relised that I still love him and that is why I broke up with the other boy.
But should I tell the him I love him and I want to get back together with him I scared that he won't like me back and that it might ruin our friendship I'm just so confused someone please help me.

You're twelve-are you allowed to date?

What do your parents say?

I'm sure you have feelings for this boy,but as for dating, wait until you're at least sixteen.

I have been allowed to date for 2 years now even if I waited to another4 years I would still be feeling the same way and if I was to wait that would mean I would be hanging out with this boy for 4 years and being sad that I would not of told him how I feel
No offence but you haven't helped me at all

What does dating and love mean to a 10-12 year old? I'm not getting this dating thing at your age at all.

Why don't you just continue your friendship and see where it goes.
Why do you need to date him?

Might seem like you will feel the way you do now forever, but you probably won't. But if you are going to "date", and have permission to do so, then you will have to learn to be honest, and take the risks that comes with being honest. Sometimes it means being hurt, and dissapointed.

Good Luck.

No offense but this isn't a "feel good" board. You are going to get honest opinions, not necessarily what you think you need to hear.

So if you already know what you want to do and don't want advice, sure, tell him you love him.

At twelve years old, you are too young for a romantic "dating" relationship of any kind. Certainly too young for sex on any level.
Our culture over-exposes young people to adult lifestyles in many ways, but that doesn't change the fact that a twelve year old is not ready for the complexities of romantic entanglements and has other crucial priorities, like discovering and building who they want to become, that they should be focusing on at this tender age. Do your parents know the priority you are placing on romantic relationships in your life?
I think you should see a therapist to figure out how to redirect your energies so that you are prioritizing YOU, your education and growth to the exclusion of things like boys and dating. That's for later, when you have built your life and are ready to participate in something as adult as romance. I say let it go and focus on yourself. Good Luck.
