Long story short, there's this boy. I met him in sixth grade, and didn't see him again until the end of seventh. We started talking a lot, and he asked me out. I said yes because I liked him too, and then left for camp. There we exchanged letters and gifts. About a week or two after I got home from camp, I decided I should be honest and tell him some things, including that my dog was dying. Well, in response to that he said he wanted to break up, pretty much oblivious to everything I had just told him. After that I was pretty sure I had scared him away from what I had said because he didn't talk to me until yesterday. Now, when we started talking again at the end of seventh grade, it was pretty obvious he was flirting with me. All of a sudden, yesterday, I found him standing there waiting at my locker to respond to an e-mail I had sent him. Man was I surprised. A few seconds later, a bunch of my friends came over to me, and he walked away without saying a word. Today I got an e-mail from him, sounding exactly like the stuff he said when he was trying to flirt. When he said he wanted to break up he didn't seem all that happy about it and seemed to feel bad too. But now I'm so confused. What is going on? What do I do?

Rae I gotta tell ya its been a while since I was in the seventh grade so keep that in mind 'kay. Here goes...first off his on again/off again attitude towards you is a little suspicious. Why, if he really likes you, is he only flirting via email and when no one else is around? Now if a man acted this way towards me (remember I'm long past 7th grade) I'd immediately suspect him of having a significant other. BUT I do remember being that young and liking a young guy myself but was just too shy to do anything about it. Does he seem to by the shy type? a loner? Or is he outgoing amongst his friends? I'd observe him when he isn't aware and pay attention to how he acts to determine what he's like when he doesn't know you're there. In short, you're still young and you have a loooong time to try to figure guys out (I still haven't!) so your confusion is quit understandable. Just remember this, if he likes you and he's not a shy person then there's absolutely no reason for him to treat you differently when you're around your friends or his. AND if he can't handle your bad news with compassion and understanding then I say bump him.

He is pretty shy, but I'm done with him. It's more trouble than it's worth. Thanks though!

Who says you're too young to be wise? I'm more than certain someone just right will come along but until then be cool with yourself and your friends.

I'm sorry, I know this is double posting, but I didn't want to make a new thread for something that goes right along with this.
Ok, so let's start with the fact that I am totally over this whole thing, but it seems that he isn't. I've been emailing him some to keep in contact and stay friends, but it seems that in every reply he's been trying to flirt with me. I really don't want this whole thing to start over again and don't want him flirting with me, so I haven't talked to him recently, but I don't want to end our friendship. Also, I'm not even sure if he's aware of what he's doing and I don't know if I should just let it go on and not worry, or say something about it or what. I really don't want to start offending people or getting them mad at me, but I really don't like what he's doing.

If he is making you uncomfortable then maybe you shouldn't be his friend. Either that or you are just going to have to tell him straight that you aren't interested in him in that way anymore. It sounds like he is really attracted to you but it doesn't go much deeper than that..I mean, if he broke up with you before when you were just being open and letting him know about your life (I seriously can't believe he broke up with you after you told him your dog died o.o) then you are totally right not to want to encourage him again. He might not take it too well but in the end, he should do a bit more than just flirt with you and expect you to swoon. He should either be just a good friend or actually show an interested to all your other beautiful sides
