Ask Me Help Desk - Do I stand a chance?

Hey all as some of you may have read in my past entries I really really adore this boy named jake he's now 17 and I'm 16. Basicallly he thinks I stare at him too often and I have heard it from one of his friends. Not to mention my annoying friends keep asking him if he knows me and I didn't tell them too! I think he thinks I'm a stalker or something when really I stared at him once a day if that. I'm sorry I did it now but he was so nice to look at and it was like time stood still when I looked into his eyes. I am scared that I have no chance with him. What should I do this year to improve my chances? Do I look? Do I hide? Help me please I might love him..

Confidence, is the most important thing guys look for in a women. So when you walk by, hold your head up high

A young crush is still very real to you! I remember my first and I'm 47! If he's quite cute... it's hard not to look at him and "imagine" yourself being cared for by him in return. LOVE, however, is something that takes TIME... Self confidence is good for you... and males find it attractive as well. Try to make friends with other guys as well... much to your surprise, there may be someone thinking of you the way you think of him but is too shy to let you know... Being "friends" first means SO much... seeing if you have much in common is important. You have plenty of time! Don't TRY so hard! He may be cute... but he's just a person like the rest of us with good points and ones to work on... Try to see him more realistically and enjoy YOURSELF... friends, family, hobbies, classes... Sounds "cheezy"... but it's true... You can't MAKE him or anyone WANT you... You've shown an interest... if he doesn't initate a response... try to begin to move on and above all else, don't sell yourself short! NO GUY likes a girl labeled as a "stalker" or "mezmorized" by him... They find it weird and creepy. I'm not saying you're weird! Just discussing the male perspective. Enjoy being young with SO many choices ahead of you... He's one fish in a large sea! May not SEEM like it... but you'll realize it over time! Good luck and hang in there! As said before... hold your head high, laugh, enjoy yourself... that's ATTRACTIVE! (and fun!)

You have a crush for now, and a good idea would be not get carried away, but act like a normal person, and get to know him as a friend, and see how it works. That way there is no pressure to impress each other, and he can see your not a stalker, or a lovesick, staring female.

Also you'll find out if he is worth your "love", or just a good looking guy, you have nothing in common with. Have some confidence in yourself, that goes a long way.
