Major Crush Crisis!

Dear Miss Know It All,

Hey! I saw your website earlier today and I totally love it! But I didn't just email you to tell you that. I have a crush crisis (you probably get this a lot) and I need help.

Here's my problem: I'm in middle school and I have a crush on this guy (let's call him A) who's in almost all of my classes and we're really great friends and everything. We talk everyday and laugh at each other and stuff like that. 

But it gets more complicated. I also like this other guy (let's call him B), who I used to be friends with but now we don't really talk anymore. In 5th grade (when we met) there were a lot of rumors that we liked each other and lately I've been rumors that he still liked me. 

It gets even more complicated. The thing is, I'm the kind of person that likes one person and then just give up and then likes another person, and so on. I'll admit, I've had like 6 crushes this year. And the thing is, every time I like a boy I just end up giving up on them and I always end up liking B. I'm worried that if I start dating A I'll just give up because I like B, but if I "choose" the B he might not like me back and I'll just be stuck in the middle.

It gets worse. Back in September or October (I forgot), this third guy (let's call him C) told me he liked me. We were pretty close, but he was my best friend's (she moved away) "arch-nemesis", and besides, I didn't really like him like that at the time and he wasn't really that cute. But he knew, before I knew, that I liked B, who he's also friends with. And B is friends with A. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Anyway, after spring break, C just really got in shape. I was like woah. So now I kinda like him too. But I don't know if he likes me anymore, and even if he does, my best friend will either be furious or die of laughter if I date him (I know, it's complicated).

Speaking of my best friend, she happens to know B. And she will bug me with "I told you so" until the end of time if I date B because, of course, she was one of the people that thought we liked each other, in 5th grade and now.

I'm sorry this email was so long and I totally understand if you don't have time to reply or read this completely, but if you do happen to have time, please help!

Thank you so much,

JJ

Hey there, Damn. I read this, and it's enough plot material to write an entire rom-com movie, y'know what I mean? I do get these a lot, they're almost the only thing I get, but this has been my favourite so far. Enough about me, let's talk about you. First off, it's okay to like a lot of different boys. You're in your teenage phase (I am, too) and we have a really hard time figuring out our feelings, especially when they all just sort of tumble over one another like little kids who don't know how to walk. 

Let's do a deeper introspection of each guy, shall we?

# guy number 1: He seems pretty great, to be honest. You have a healthy, simple relationship with him; you communicate on a regular basis, and you seem to know him pretty well. He seems to be the coolest of the three.  # guy number 2: This guy - you used to be friends, but you don't talk anymore. The last time you guys really talked to each other was in the 5th grade, and chances are, he's really changed since then. He may not be the same person you used to know. However, it seems like you've really got your heart set on this guy, because he occupies your headspace even when you're with other guys.  # guy number 3:  You seemed to like the third guy only after he got in shape. If you didn't like him enough before he got hot, your relationship with him probably won't last long. You don't know whether he still likes you, so I'd advise you not to risk anything. 

Speaking of your best friend, don't worry about her. She's far away anyway, and she can't really do anything if you date who you like. Besides, it's your love life, and not hers, and you get to choose who you want to go out with. She'll be able to come to terms with whatever decision you make, if she's a real, sincere friend.

So far, the first guy seems to be the best (and least messiest) option, because you have the healthiest relationship with him so far.  Love,  Miss Know It All
