Dear Dish-It,
I know this guy at school and he is kinda cute, but he has the best personality. I know that even though he is black and I am white, we get along very well. When I asked him if he liked me he said he didn't know yet. But my family's big on the race issue. So I am stuck. Every time I am around him, or every time he looks at me, I feel as if I know exactly what he is thinking. We just click with everything... I know that even though I would get into trouble, he is perfect for me. I don't exactly KNOW what love IS, so could you tell me how to find out if you are in love with a guy or not???

Dear confused,
Unfortunately, there isn't a take-home test you can take to find out whether or not you are in love - you'll just know. Since this is still just a crush, chances are you're not in love with this guy, but probably have some pretty strong feelings for him. The only way you'll ever really know is if you get to know him better. Since the 'rents are probably not going to approve of your current crush, it's probably best to take things slow and have them really get to know this guy better too. Sometimes people react strangely about interracial relationships, but when given the chance to really get to know the other person, they see how great those two people are together. Ask this guy to hang out sometime and see if you two are as compatible as you think. There's no use stressing about the 'rents, or whether or not you're in love, before you find out whether you both feel the same way about each other. If it turns out you do, you can worry about introducing this boy to the 'rents then. Good Luck!

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure but are too scared to ask the 'rents? Don't be scared to Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
