do you hide your crushes on people?

Yes, certainly.  Then, my best friend finds out and she starts hounding a confession out of me.  Of course, you sometimes cannot hide things from your best friend even if your best friend is at least 20 years older than you (which mine is in her 40's and I am in my 20's).

maybe your scared that they will know all of your secrets.\ni only say that because i have a cousin that has the same problem. she is so scared to look into peoples eyes. she is scared that if she does , then they will know everything about her.

ok yea that happened to me..first of all your in sixth grade you'll have boyfriends but if theyre anything like the ones that i had in sixth grade the most that will probally happen is a peck on the lips\n\nanyways about you crush thats a tough place to be in..cause you want him to know how you feel but you don't want to ruin your friendship my advice is to keep it a secret for a while and see if you eventually grow out of it and get over him but if you don't try telling him but explaining that you really don't want it to ruin your friendship\n\nGood luck!!!!!!

No it doesn't.\n\nUnless your crush is some crazy stalker.\n\nAny decent guy will be jealous, but also repulsed.

I'm shy and enjoy listening to other people talk so I ask alot of questions about them. If I like them I smile a lot and make a lot of eye contact. I do it to show them I like them but also to make them feel as nervous as I do, hehe.

I would say ignore them but that only makes them want you more. You have to TOTALLY ignore them. You have to avoid all contact because the slightest thing you do will only make the attraction stronger.

Girl i used to think that way to there was this boy that has been friends with my brother for years and everytime i seen him i would flirt and he would flirt back. My brother would tell me not to talk to him because it wasnt right for me to talk to his friends. So i just let a crush remain a crush.

well swearing off love altogether probably isn't the best solution, as for the crush, I would tell him how you feel espeacially if you think he may feel the same way but doesn't think you do

well, but it bluntly. if she treasures her CRUSH before her friend, then she is no friend that i would want to have. you either have to give it to her blunt, or give it to her REAL subtle. personally, i would do it blunt. don't let her get to you. \n\nGOOD LUCK!! :)

You act on it because Crushes are a lot like poison ivy or chicken pox. They'll drive you nuts until you attand to them. Go get him! Life's slipping away as we speak. Go!

No, as I've gotten older I've found it much easier to approach others. But that's beside the point really. What you need to do is force yourself to come up to people in your class. Your teacher, and your friends out in public. Just start by saying "Hi" and go from there. :) People love talking and if you get a big "talker" then you won't have to worry about saying much. Never be afraid of what people think of you. You are your own person and you shouldn't care what they think. If you say something stupid, laugh it off! I have to a lot. Goodness, just the other day that happened to me and I just laughed. It's like walking into a pole in front of a guy you have a crush on. You just step back, say "wow, that was stupid" and start laughing! It's really freeing! Trust me, I have actually run into things around guys that I've liked in the past! Yeah, it's embarrassing, but that feeling goes away after a while and you feel more confident in yourself. Good luck to ya!

Well, if you're gonna tell them, there's no way not to be obvious.  Just tell 'em, no point in being embarrassed...so what, you like them.  If you tell them you'll most likely know how they feel too. If they don't like you, then you can focus on moving on.  But if they like you too, then bingo, things could work out.\nNo matter what you do, stop thinking about embarrassment...think about the person.  \nTry to get them in person in a comfortable place (like after school, at the mall, outside, coffee shop)  or give 'em a cute note asking to hang out sometime (give it to them, not their buddy who could read it first...that way you don't have to put ur name on it either which could save any possible embarrassment if he turns out to be a jerk.  Good luck!

I'm not on AIM right now, but if you go to your preferences and click on privacy, you can  allow certain people to see you.  So only put the people you know on that list and people not on the list won't see you

yes. everybody has emotions, and you should express them. don't hold them in because it could affect you later in life. It kind of sucks that your crush likes your best friend. but over time, things will get better.

First off, take a deep breath.  Calm down.  Now, crushes are okay, as long as you can control them.  As you said, they are unstoppable.  But they are not supposed to be uncontrollable.  Just act as if you don't have the crush.  Act the way you normally do in front of him and do your work the way you're supposed to.  DON'T let him know that you like him, as it would only cause awkwardness and a lot of bad feelings.  Nothing good can come out of telling him.  Ride it out.  Eventually, you will find another guy that you are interested in.  This crush may seem like it will last forever, but it won't.  Soon enough, you will either fall for a hot guy you just met or you will see an old friend in a new light.  Until then, just play it cool.

yes, a lot of times. i have felt the need to mask my feelings a lot of times. specially when i know that someone might get hurt if he/she knows how i feel about it, and i don't want to hurt him/her. some people might say it's dishonest of me to do so. but  u have to look at both the sides of the coin.\nalso, i don't show the real side of me, except to a very few people who i think can know me. it's exciting this way. like making someone discover u layer by layer. \nfrankly, i don't know what i'm talking about now! \n\np.s. if i falsely claim that i am a hypocrite, does that make me a hypocrite??
