Ok so for starters I'm 11 years old. My best friend and I are going into 7th grade. He hangs out with a lot of girls but I'm his closest friend as he calls it. I see him all time everywhere I go. So a couple weeks after we started 6th grade together we were friends and then I slowly developed a crush on him. When he was talking to me sometimes he would get out of my comfort zone and look me directly in the eyes. He flirts with me a lot also and he has give me presents for my birthday and christmas and all those other holidays then out of everyone he decides that I should get him his present. Then one day we were climbing tree's togther and some of my friends were being really mean about it or shall I say sassy about letting him up in the "girls tree" and he felt left out so he was all upset and I didn't talk to him even though he listens to me and will talk to me whenever a situation happens I decided he could handle it on his own and the next day he comes up to me and says to me "Why didn't you check on me yesterday?" in other words he was upset I wasn't there to help him. He stares at me all the time whenever he gets the chance and he says would rater hang with me more then anyne else. He even tried to get my number but he is really spazzy sometimes and will send me a bunch of spam. Haha, ayways he knows I like him and I don't have a clue whether he likes me.

He might like you but are you willing to ruin the friendship if it doesn't work out? It sounds like he likes you but you are 11 and could have MANY MANY MANY dating years ahead and he probably isn't "the one" I would risk the friendship but go for it if you like him

I don't want to risk our friendship and I'm not sure he's the one either but I like just being good friends with him but thanks for the advice anyway

Then be his good friend there isn't anything wrong with that
