It appears that I have a not-so-secret crush?

<font color="purple">...too bad boy who is crushing over me is about 8-9 years younger then me

all things considered it's not that bad, my best friend has had kindergardeners propse to her

As for the boy I'm crushing over (apparently) is already taken... and I'm not the kind of girl to steal other girl's boyfriends </font>

if your 30 something that's ok, but if your 27 or younger 8-9 years is a good piece JMO,

<font color="purple"> I'm 16
And no, I'm not into elementary schoolers.

...He just keeps on giving me gifts (like, today he gave me nailpolish, other days he has given me a [fake] flower, candy, and 1/2 of a best friend necklace) which leads everyone to believe that he has a crush on me because 1.) I'm nice to him and 2.) I'm the only person who has really ever taken an interest in him as a kid ...at least in school it seems, I don't know much about his family life- but from what I can gather it's not exactly the most stable (though it would be a stretch to call it abusive considering I have yet to see any evidence)

I'm a bit suspicious where he gets these presents from though. It's not like 8 year old boys go out shopping for this kind of stuff. </font>

Aww bless his little cotton socks

babyg xXx

hmm, talk to his parents/caregivers. that's what I would do... or just wait and it will pass. but you don't want him stealing things to give to you.
I still remember my childhood crushes, one cut her hair and I was out of love... LOL

I agree, I'm 40 and my husband is 56. But when you are a teenager, it causes way too many complications.

I TOTALLY stole flowers from the ministers garden in primary to give to my teacher.

She walked me right back to his house and made me give them back and apologize.
