Hello back at you.
First, I want to tell you a little about myself. I'm 57 years old so my eyes are not the best. And I have learned how to write properly and use sentences so that people can read what I write with more comfort.
When I see a post that is full of words without breaks in between, my first impression of that person (without having read any of what they wrote or without knowing how nice they can be) is that they are lazy and inconsiderate. So, please excuse this initial impression - but - from now on, could you please write properly here... I would really appreciate this - and thanks in advance for helping me out here...
Now, to your question.. What in the world is ''shank''? And he called you ''Dude''? And.. of course he will be interested in you and many, many other girls. He is going to play the field as long as he can and not think about it at all. That's just the way boys his age think and act - fact of life. He is not looking for a long-standing relationship. He's looking to get hooked up with as many girls as he can in his life until he's matured enough to realize that there is more to a 'relationship' than just Hooking-Up and moving on to the next. He will hurt many feelings until one day he gets rejected and hurt. Then he will realize what he has done. You are the one who will have to find out if all he wants is another bed-fellow, or really wants to get to know you before going too far. Then it will be your choice to make on what you do. If he is a fast-mover and wants just one thing, then you should be out looking for a guy who will respect you more.
And, at your age, you will probably also date many guys. This is the age where you 'test the waters' so to speak, and grow and learn how to act and also learn about yourself and the type of 'partner' that will interest you in the future.
We've all been there and done that at your age. The only thing I recommend is that you make sure that you are '
safe' at all times and make sure that the guy respects you. You also have to respect and live with yourself during this stage in life, so choose carefully and don't let anyone take advantage of you and talk you into doing things you are not ready for so that you will have no regrets. It's not like this guy is going to wind up being your life-mate - it's way too early to even look for that in a guy. Just stay calm, enjoy dating, and make FRIENDS. Yes, the guys we dated when we were your age can be our friends, years down the road, as long as we can communicate and respect each other and learn from our mistakes without acting like it's the end of the world if we split up.. Get my message?
It is OK to have a crush on someone, date them, and it might last a long time getting to know each other and having fun. That's what life is about. So, go out there and enjoy life and have some fun. Again, just make sure that you
stay healthy and safe. After all, that body of your's is the only one you'll have for the rest of your life - respect it!
Let us know how this works out, and try not to place any guy in the center of your universe... do your best to follow your goals for your future - and still have fun in life.
