Wise guy

There’s this boy that I like, and I think he likes me, but I’m not

sure. For example: At recess he says, “Hi, Psycho.” But he also

unfreezes me when we play freeze tag with our friends. What

should I think?

Not Sure About Love

Boys express affection for their friends by kidding around. They often do

the same thing with a girl they like. A boy who teases you in a fun way could

indeed have a crush on you. If he says “Hi, Psycho” and makes a big point of

unfreezing you at tag? It’s a good bet.

Loner

I like a boy I know. My brother told me that the boy said he wants

to be single, live in a trailer park, and be a sports announcer.

I want to go out with him, but he’s afraid to go out with anyone.

Should I ask him out or keep my feelings a secret?

Single and Lonely

This boy may indeed not want to have anything to do with girls—now or ever.

Or your brother may just be exaggerating a bit. Try to get to know this boy

better. Go slow. Don’t put pressure on him by demanding a lot of his time or

attention. And don’t talk about “liking” each other or being “girlfriend and

boyfriend” or “going out.” He’s not ready for romance now, but if he learns

he can trust you, that might change. If it doesn’t, you’ll still have a friend.
