I have a crush on a boy from church and im not sure what to do?

[oreosarethebest]

so every Sunday when i go to church there's this boy thats nice to me and waves hi and his name is matt but i was thinking about maybe asking if we could hang out sometime? i dont know he seems nice but im not really sure what to do

[DishLady]

Hey, kiddo, he’s just another person, like you. If it was any one of your friends, wouldn’t you just go say HI and chat him up? Why not do that? As you’re parting, see if he asks you out. If not, it probably ok to just ask him also.


(Talk to your parents about dating beforehand since you’re 12/13.)

[oreosarethebest]

yeah we do talk sometimes after church and say hi ☺️ and i would tell my parents to if anything happened ☺️

[DishLady]

Sounds like a plan! Good luck!

[oreosarethebest]

thanks 😊

Do you go to church with your parents? If so why not quietly mention this to your mother (remember she too was your age once) and ask her for her advice.

[oreosarethebest]

i was going to but i guess i got too embarrassed to tell her because its the first time i think i like a boy but ill try to do that ☺️

[EmmaMary]

I think and naturally hope, that you might just be pleasantly surprised if you do open up and talk to her.

As I've already mentioned, she was once your age so will know and appreciate how you're feeling... And you never know, she might just have already spotted the signs... Mothers are very clever at doing this! lol

Talk to her, it's what mothers and daughters do best... Good luck. x

[oreosarethebest]

Yeah your right ☺️ i did talk to her and she kind of knew everything 😂 but she she said to ask if he wants to hang out sometime and maybe see what he says ☺️

[EmmaMary]

@oreosarethebest

There you go then... You have your mother's approval, so don't waste any more time in asking him... Keeping everything crossed and wishing you Good Luck. 🤞xxx

[EmmaMary]

Gosh... Thank you so much @oreosarethebest for the MHO.

Please do keep us up to date with how things are going. xxx

If he waves hi you can go and talk to him a bit. Do you know what he likes to do? Ask him questions there in church so you learn more about him.

[oreosarethebest]

we talk a bit every time we see each other but not a lot. i know that he likes playing football and swimming and video games too

[BarryLiverstone]

Do you like any of those things? If there is a youth group you can hang with him on a trip or play some ball with him

[oreosarethebest]

i mean swimming and football is kind of fun sometimes so maybe could play football. i dont really play video games

[BarryLiverstone]

I bet not many of your friends play video games too lol. Have you had a chance to pray with Matt? I don’t know how church goes with you but that’s another way to spend time learning about him

[oreosarethebest]

i haven't got to pray with him but i do get to talk to him for a few minutes when church is over

[Iron_Man]

Get it out of your head you can’t date a 13 or 14 years old your parents would have a hissy attack

[oreosarethebest]

well yeah i would ask them first so they wouldn't like freak out

[Iron_Man]

They’re not gonna let you guys go out together at night time maybe with an escort day time hangout as friends

[Iron_Man]

I mean like have a guardian like a sister or your mother come along

[oreosarethebest]

oh yeah i wouldn't go by myself i mean i would bring my mom or my dad or my older brother too

[Iron_Man]

Good 👍

[SugarSugarplum]

You're 13. Maybe ask him to push you on the swings or something. (My church was also a grade school. There were swings)

[oreosarethebest]

i wish my church had swings 😂 but i did talk to my mom and dad about him yesterday and they said maybe we could go get ice cream on Sunday

[SugarSugarplum]

Oh, i LOVE that idea for you.

[Serkee]

Sounds like a good idea to me, there's a good chance he's thinking the same thing.

[firenine909]

You should ask him if you want to hang out if you really like him

[Makeushiver]

Talk to him. Find out his interests and ask about them.

[Twalli]

Go for it.

[zombiewoof]

Ask and find out
