...A Lot of Girls Like the Boy She Likes
I think I must think I know how to talk to kids.
Question From Rachelle: so i like a boy and a lot of girls like him but not the way i like him. they like him in a hot celebrity way but ive known him for a long time. anyways im really shy around him but we only have 6 months left so i want to at least be his friend. any suggestions?
Response: Only six months left until what? Are you on death row? OK, I’ll stop being a smart aleck and take a guess that you only have six months left until the end of the school year at which point you two will go in separate directions. If this is the case then that is good news and here’s why. You have nothing to lose! If I may be so bold as to quote the great John Michael Montgomery, “Sink or swim, you’ve got to give it a whirl.” Look up the lyrics to “LIfe’s A Dance,” and read the rest of that story. If you want to be someone’s friend, all it requires is two small things. A little eye contact and a couple of words. These two small things let someone know that you think they’re OK. They let someone know that it’s safe to approach you. They won’t be rejected. Are you taking the risk that you will be rejected? Of course you are. And rejection is a tiny death. But the greater death is to live a life of never trying. And then you really will be on death row. Go forth and speak to this boy!
