lol Laura - That's about what it is these days.. And no, KC11 - You're far from due.
Honestly, I've had "crushes" on kids before.. Even at grade 5, but I knew that it was just nothing. Something all kids go through. I would admit now, though, that since my age is flying past 17 - There's more to it than just the silly stuff kids think of in middle school..
Good thing I never fall for anyone in this lame, small town..

@malkin: no, she dumped him because of something, then he wrote an apology note, kinda short, nothing clingy, and she ripped it up and laughed, so we grassed on her to him and as a backfire he said she was rubbish in bed and we all told her and LOLed. but personally, i thought she was a bit mean.

just for the record, i got into some very serious relationships at a young age- i was with one guy when i was 14 for a year or so, and really i've been in serious relationships ever since. maybe i'm just precocious, i don't know.
i think it's perfectly normal and okay for young teens (ish; 13-16) to be changing around boyfriends and girlfriends once every two weeks and be dating. if it's not serious or going too far it's just about learning who you are in relation to other people. the skills you use in your later years you tend to learn in your teens, and those crushes and short relationships are just a way of discovering how to navigate the complicated process of finding a mate. some people don't feel compelled to engage in that sort of thing at an early age, and that's perfectly fine too. it's not necessary, but it's natural.
unfortunately this sometimes translates to young promiscuity. that's a whole different issue than we're talking about now.
my boyfriend is reading this over my shoulder, haha.

Malkin, I love the kids technique of "back off"!
When I was a teenager I used to use my cute dog to attract 'attention'. Walk around the beach or park on a busy Saturday with an adorable dog and somehow people can't help but begin talking to you.
As far as boyfriends go, my husband appreciates it if I keep the dating to a minimum. But honestly, I have always been the type for long term relationships. My very first boyfriend (when I was 16) lasted 5 years. I have been married for 6 years now and it feels like the blink of an eye. I am finally in the type of relationship/family/whatever-its-called
that I want to be in for the rest of my life.

Well, now I only have one crush.
Now I can't stop thinking about him. O_o
Do I have obsessive-compulsive disorder or something? I seem to get attached to people I barely know pretty quickly. <_<

I think that's fairly typical for a crush, based on my limited knowledge.
You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

KC, OCD is actually a very serious mental issue that has nothing to do with crushes.
its totally normal to be infatuated with a crush. And to not be able to think of anything else.

Don't ever get a boyfriend/girlfriend - that feeling when you miss them too much can be horrible. |

Yeah, Even when you just miss a crush, it can be pretty bad. So I suppose missing an actual boyfriend would be ten times worse.
....
One of my friends doesn't seem to care much about any of the boyfriends she's had over the years. And I've seen a few 16 year old girls talking about their boyfriends like they're... objects. *shudder*

Me, being 17 - And living around 17 year olds, I must tell you - Girls around here either A) Go through every single guy in town like they're movies for rent or B) use them like objects..
Oh and there's C) Let the guys use them, because well - It's cool to be a ... you know. Apperantly.

With a lot of the girls I hang around with (more often the ones I like better) there's also a D), They're convinced its true love every time and get all weepy by misreading the teenie tiniest of "signs".
Sometimes I think I'm the only one who "Communicates" by just the freaking obvious and actually talking to my boyfriend

I love you DragonGirl - And the funniest one of all is when a girl falls for a guy, dumps him because he's "a loser" then hooks up with another guy - 2 days later. "loser" - After a while I asked her why. She said she doesn't know, she's just stupid.
WELL.. OMG. After all these years I'm declaring myself sexist... Seriously. I'm tired of girls. Women? Another story.

As an autistic loner, I've never had a real crush nor a real girlfriend.
I've had crushes alright, but most of them were mild. And I think I influenced them to a point.
I don't think I'm suited to this sort of thing - I'm really shy when it comes to this, and very often like turns to hate and I give someone I thought I liked a birdie/call that someone something really insulting/create complicated plans for getting rid of that person.
The closest I've ever got to ever having a real girlfriend came at the end of last school year - and it was cut short because I didn't show up on the last day due to being too tired to drag my lazy bottom out of bed. -_-
I still think of her a lot though, maybe I have something going on here?
Well, maybe I will if my mood doesn't go switchy-switchy again.

*pokes out head* Erm, do I have permission to bump this thread?
Right.
I have the crush from hell. In fact, I think I might be in love. And it's the love from hell. I think the fates or whatever is up there or down under or sitting above my bedpost laughing at me... they have it in for me. They really do.
He's 17.

I mean, he's the perfect guy! A very funny, kinda nerdy, smart liberal writing mood swingy guy who doesn't mind hugs and just seems to be the most... well, romantic guy, if I'm to be any judge. -_- He's certainly not a stupid jerk, like most of the guys my age.
We're sorta friends. I just think he's great, but I keep on hearing about how guys his age "only think of one thing" and all that. I think he only sees me as a little annoying kid or something. I mean, I wouldn't blame him.
The thing is, I haven't had a single crush since him. I think that he just make me realize how stupid guys my age were.

Part of me wants to tell you "Go for it before he turns 18", it really really does. Because an 18 year old and a 14-15 year old is grottier than a 17 year old and a 14 year old. That, and next year, you'll be at different stages in your life. He may be graduating, for starters. Do your parents have an age gap between them? Because when my dad was 17, my mum was 12. I feel icky thinking about it, but it seems to have worked out okay between them now. (They met during university - they didn't date in high school)
When I was 14 I had a big crush on one of my big brother's friends - he was 22ish at the time. No, I don't know what I was thinking. Eventually he stopped coming over and I moved on. Apparently (because subtlety is my middle name) everyone knew I had a crush on him too. Yeugh. I was moaning to him a while ago about the lack of my love life, and he asked me out. o_O I asked him a few questions and then told him I couldn't - I felt so sick about the whole thing, like he'd been waiting for me to grow up enough for it to be okay for him to date me.
It sounds like your potential fella enjoys the attention you're giving him. If he's as SNAGgy as you seem to think he is, he may freak at your feelings - he may feel like he's somehow mentally controlling you or something.
I remember when I was 16 one of the boys in our year was dating a girl who was either 12 or 13 from year 7... everyone ribbed him about it, it was the world's biggest joke. If this guy goes out with you, there's this pressure there, even without the question of a "one track mind" love them and leave them approach.

Heh here I'd say don't go for it. I'm rather conservative when it comes to these things.
In the teenage years, development it surprisingly quick and you go through different stages constantly. You guys would have less in common than you imagine, very different values, different things going on. And I agree, social pressures would not let it work out even if he was to okay it for a while. I'd be afraid of him humoring you, saying "okay yeah sure" and hanging out while not having any actual romantic interests in mind. Just to not hurt your feelings or whatever.
I had a mini-crush on an older guy once... I was volunteering at a vet office when I was 14 and one of the vet techs was in his early 20s and I thought he was just awesome. I never seriously imagined us going out or whatever, i just thought he was really cool and admired him awfully.

angel, I said "part of me". It is really common to get a crush on an older guy, though... Not sure how common it is for these crushes to transgress into real relationships, just because of the whole development/Svengali taboo. Age gaps matter much less when you're out of high school. Mind you, I've heard that men don't grow up properly until they're 40... *sigh*

Don't mind him, he has a habit of doing that. 
Nothing has changed since my last post here.
I'm still single and thought of as cold and distant by basically everyone. While I'm off in my own little writer's world, they're doing stuff "normal" kids do.
A writer's path is a lonely one. I really, really, REALLY want to become a published author one day, but I suppose everything comes at a price. Ah, well. I've been a loner my whole life, so I guess that doesn't matter.
Not to mention spend most of my time writing down ideas for stories and doodling illustrations during break. That probably makes me seem a little... unapproachable.
And being in home-school probably doesn't help too much either, eh?

Wow Dreamnorn, you sound just like I did when I was your age. O_o
Loner homeschooled writer who's not out snogging everyone. XD Trust me, this is a lot better. You get to learn exactly who YOU are yourself, instead of learning it from your "lovy" or your peers.
Plus you don't get rejected by guys who are too young to understand love anyway, and therefor will be a lot kinder towards the opposite gender when you finally do date one that's quite willing to fall in love with you.
At least, that's how I see it.
Again, nothing has changed. Still in love with the same guy who doesn't even know. Oh well.

I'd rather be left alone than be with anyone, even if it's on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. My cat is the most talkative person I know, and is also the most confiding. 
I bet even when I'm forced to go to school every day, I'm still going to be the kid weeping in the corner.

Somehow, this made me chuckle. About 75% of the kids that go to OCHSA are girls. XD That would be impossible, or awfully unlikely.
Meh. What do I know? It's a cold, rainy day in southern California, and I may as well live up to the mood.
