Advice About Dating

Dear Dish-It, is here to whisper "ttyl after I've thought about this some more".

Dear Dish-It,

There's this girl who's a year younger than me. I like her a lot and she found out about it. She said she couldn't date me cuz she has a boyfriend, but she told me she would some day. Ever since she found out I like her, she's been staring at me a lot. I've even seen her looking at me out her bedroom window. Do you think she likes me? How can I find out if she does?

Dear Jrat92,

Stalk much? How did you catch her looking at you out her bedroom window? Do you live next door to her? Or do you live on the other side of town but spend your nights hangin' outside her house? That's totally creepy, not to mention against the law cuz you're prowling around on private property. Stop these home visits ASAP cuz you could get in a lot of trouble! Stick to seeing her at school, alright?

Whether this girl stares at you cuz she likes you back or is deathly afraid of you remains a mystery, but you need to back off and give her some space cuz she has a boyfriend - and I'm sure he wouldn't be too happy to hear that you're looking at her through her bedroom window. You can still continue to be friends (you are friends, right?) and get to know each other cuz you never know what could happen down the road. But seriously, stop with the stalking and find something else to occupy your time, like playing baseball and video games!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
