Dear Maggie,
This guy that was in my class last year was my best friend. We went to the dance together and we had fun together. That’s until… he told my bestie that he likes me. To tell the truth, I also like him. I never realized how much. I was really sad because he was moving to Hamilton! I wanted to him to be the same middle school. Then, I asked if he really did and he said yes and he still does!! I still didn’t tell him yet! Something just feels weird. HELP ME!!!! I’m in grade 6 now.

Dear Confused,
Telling someone you like them is exciting, but also incredibly terrifying! You have every right to be nervous about it. But if you really do like this guy, you should say something before you miss out on what could be a pretty great thing – the old saying, “You never know until you try” definitely applies here! Bring it up when you’re feeling comfortable and are hanging together or even over the phone if you guys talk a lot there. I can almost guarantee he will be over the moon about it! If you are unsure how you feel about him, wait until you’ve thought about it and hung out a few more times. Follow your heart, Confused, and you can’t go wrong!
– Maggie
