I have a crush on a boy
I am a 13-year-old girl and I have a crush on a boy who is 2 years older than me. He is serious in studies and according to me he has no interest in relationships. I don’t know what his reaction will be when I confess my feelings to him. I don’t even talk to him much but I want him as a friend. What should I do?

Dear Vandana, at the age of 13 you feel you “have a crush” on a boy of 15. “He is serious in studies” and does not seem to be interested in entering into relationships. If this is the situation it is better for you not to confess your “feelings” to him; when possible, talk to him with a smile and just share with him your family life, studies and plans for the future. Do not talk about your “crush” on him because he may stop talking to you.
