Okay. I love this girl. I really love her. I think about her every day, all that stuff. I've called her, but nothing really....happens. It's not like we really 'hang out' a lot or anything. I don't officially know if she will go to the high school I'm going to, but hey, she lives close by anyway. So, my question to you is, should I tell her how I feel? Knowing her, she could react in two, three ways. 1) she likes it, happy I said it, we end up together, all that. 2) she, uh, is not exactly as happy. she is somewhat frightened. Doesn't know how to react. You get the picture. Says we should try just being friends and all that. 3) Completely doesn't really know what to say. Ackward silence. Then....I can't see pass there. So, based on what you know and don't know, what do you think?

I am not here to insult you or give you a diatribe... you are experiencing what we all have at some time or another.
My suggestion is for you to gather up the nerve and ask this girl out.
You can do it!

Once again, another instance where “hooked-on-phonics” would’ve been a very good tool for you to use. See, there is a board that is called, and get this, the “Teen Q&A”. Isn’t that amazing! It’s for “teens!” And at “fifTEEN,” that means it was made just for little ole adult minded you! Congrats!
And no, at 18, whether you like it or not, in the U.S., you’re an adult. See, you can be drafted, you can drive, and if you commit a crime, you will be tried as an adult. So, sorry, kid, you’re an adult.
And if you are in the U.S., you may be legally able to drive…with adult supervision that is. That’s like saying you can ride a bike, except you have training wheels on it. Good job there Corky. And there is no stopping you from drinking alcohol, but you’d be a moron to do so at such a young age. And as for working, if you took “hop,” you would realize that I stated that in some states, you cannot work past 10:00 pm. Not 3:00. Perhaps you need to reassess your ability to read, or you might have ADD and cannot concentrate. Either way, you need help.
And so, at the ripe old age of fifteen, do you pay for the roof over your head? The car that you supposedly can drive legally? The food that you eat every day? See, supporting yourself isn’t buying that cd you want from Walmart, or going to the mall and not asking for money. No little one, supporting oneself is securing a place to live, paying the deposit and first and last month’s rent. It is putting 10% down on a new house, or car, and paying for not only the car, tax and license, but the insurance, garage, maintenance and gas of said vehicle. Until you are paying taxes, and not declared under your parents W-2’s, you’re not supporting yourself, you’re being supported. And I bet you’re not even grateful to them for that, since you said you, “support yourself when you need to.”
And how would you know more than most people your age? Have you met most people in the world about your age? Have you taken a test, whereby it assesses every amount of information in your brain, and compares the amount of information with those from identical backgrounds and spreads where you can calculate such a fruitless exercise? Or do you just believe that you know more, and since you think it is that way, it must be so? And I never claimed to know everything, or even much about the world. What I do know, is that you’re fifteen, have trouble following directions, don’t like being told what to do, and have a contentious and combative attitude when you don’t get you’re way. Just like most fifteen year old I have ever known.
And you’re little sayings, “Rules were made to be broken,” and “Question everything,” also something that most teenagers like to say. Come to think of it, the angst, the rebellious behavior, I’m better than everyone else, you really sound like pretty much most of the fifteen year olds I’ve ever seen, met, or heard about. Maybe you can be on Montell, or that new show on ABC, brat camp. Then you might be able to really support yourself!
Don’t worry kid, I’m just having a bit of fun. We all go through it.
--- Saturday, July 9, 2005 - What do you mean by corrupted indeed?
Answer by: corrupted
First, how about this. Just plain and simple call me Kevin. I feel the need for 'meultiple identities' so my friends who come on here don't give me advice because they know me.
I am not attempting a diatribe. I am saying what I know, and yes, assuming some things, but I am not attacking. Now, I might be attacking.
As for the 'not a child, yet fifteen', where did I ever say I was an adult? I am certainly not a child. My nephew is a child. Some of my friends or children. Some act like children. I, though, am not a child. I may not be an adult, but I am certainly not a child. A teenager, for the shorthand.
The age of -eighteen- is no exception. You might have more 'rights and abilities', but you are still a teenager. Up until twenty. I'm sure you knew that though.... According to the law...Hmmm... Well, I am legally of age to drive and just so you know, I can legally drive. I might not be legally of age to purchase liquor or alcohol, but unless there is a cop with a gun to my head or any one else, there is nothing stopping me from drinking alcohol. And I can work past three, and nothing stops me from staying out until next morning either. Certainly everything I have is not because of my 'parents'. I support myself when I need to. And why would I buy cigarettes? I am not a smoker. Don't intend to be one either. Yes, I might be like 'anakin skywalker'. One, he is fictitous. Two, he couldn't control his anger. Yes I am controlling it as best I can.
Already told you about multiple identities. Don't want friends to advise me knowing it's me.
And yes, I might not know 'really anything', but I know more than most people at my age. And I am not inflating the idea of my own importance. I'm sure other people are quite a bit more important. It sounds to me like you are the one having the inflated idea of self importance. And by the way, 'right back at you'. Same to you that you don't know me, and you don't know everything about the world either. You probably knew that as well.
I realize I am not an adult. I have known that long before you brought it up. As for 'obeying the laws and seeing rules' and such; that is something I have trouble with. I have a motto that you might not agree with: "Rules were made to be broken". As well as "Question everything". If these were not used before, America would be under British control. We would not have advanced into this civilization. I'm sure you knew that too. Oh, and I read the directions.
No. I'm not judging you, and if I am, it is not by purpose. I am assuming we have a similar intelligence quota, based on fact I know and the people I know, and by guessing your age (probably at least ten years older than I). Practice what you preach. So many times has that backfired I would think. I am better at improvising. I like to be ready for any sudden changes.
Is that all? It is.... Well, I'd have you know that, despite everything and anything that I've said so far, I'd much rather have you as an ally then an enemy. I ma still fifteen, and I know I have much farther to go. Just know I'd rather have you as a friend...
Wow, what a thoughtful and insightful pathetic attempt at a diatribe. You really should acquire an outside perspective on your intelligence and reading ability. Let me make it clear:
"I am not a child." "I am fifteen." Hmmmm, let me see, I don't know any areas in the United States, or the United Kingdom, or any other developed nation where a fifteen year old is an adult. If you know one, please enlighten me on its whereabouts, so that all you friends on this Web site and in real life can gather together our resources and funds, and get you a plane ticket to this magic land, so that you are no longer ignorant to the facts.
I said go post in the teen Q&A, since, you're a teen, being fifTEEN and all. See, with the exception of the age of 18, those 17 and under are called "teens." If you are unsure as to the justification of such nomenclature, just look at the last four letters of each number, starting with your first "teen" year, thirTEEN. Then there's fourTEEN, then, you should be familiar with this, fifTEEN. Followed by sixTEEN and sevenTEEN. See child, you're not even old enough to drive. You can't even work past 10:00 pm in most states. You can't buy cigarettes, certainly can't buy liquor, at least not legally, and probably everything you have, is because of your parents. Not a child huh, well maybe in three years. According to the law, you're a child. I'm sure your angry contentious teen filled angst just makes you so angry like Anakin Skywalker at that notion. Patience young one.
And why the need for multiple identities? The anonymity of one pseudonym not enough for the fifteen year old adult?
And yes, I did greatly insult you. But you insult hooked-on-phonics. If you didn’t have such a negative ostentatious demeanor, you might see that at fifTEEN, you really don’t know anything. Your perception is so myopic and narcissistic, you don’t realize how little about the world you know.
Sorry corrupted, or acepilot_shylover_jack, or boy who cried wolf, whatever numerous monikers you and your fifTEEN year old adult mind decides to use, you need to start reading the directions, obeying the laws, and realizing that, while you may not be a child, you’re no adult.
Don’t judge a book by its cover huh. According to your response, you feel that I judged you by reading your paragraph. Well, by stating you know my intelligence level, and making assumptions based on my one paragraph, are you not judging me based on my cover? Then does that make you not only ignorant, but a hypocrite as well? Use a simpler proverb: “practice what you preach.” That was a freebie.

Answer by: corrupted
Last one I hope. Corrupted and acepilot_shylover_jack are the same. I am them. Now you know. There it is. Sorry for all that.
.....You greatly insult me. I am the last person who would need such a pitiful system of learning. I excell in language and such things. I simply post here because it is not limited to adults, it never has been, and because more people come here, when counted, than the teen board. Check it. Ah yes. My question. I have already decided what to do. You do not know me...partly my mistake... But you do not know me, therefore would not know if I am in love or not. It is love. It might be a different kind of love, but it is love. And I am not a child. Again, you have insulted me. There are few things in the world I can't handle as insults. Two of those are being treated like a child, and the other is with the language skills. I can control my actions and horomones thank you very much. And I did ask her out. Before this post. So, if you don't mind, -you- can go purchase that 'hooked on phonics' thing if you desire. My vocabulary is just fine. And another thing. I have multiple identities here. Do not think this is really who I am. My screen name means nothing, neither does what I type. It is the context. I wanted outside help because my friends are here as well and help me too much. That is about it. Now, you know whatever it is you took in. Ah yes, last thing I nearly forgot. My intelligence. Do not even get that started. I am going to guess wildly that my intelligence is equall to yours, whereas I am fifteen at the moment. By the time I am your age, whatever that may be, it will have increased. "Do not ever judge a book by it's cover"
--- Wednesday, July 6, 2005 - Hooked On Phonics
Answer by: fenix1230
Okay, I'm going to type very slow, since your intelligence seems to be that of child. What you need to do, is go to "www.hop.com". You can even try to cut and paste that address is you're too slow to understand. The product is called hooked on phonics. See, it helps you learn how to read. Once you buy the product, you'll finally realize that you should've posted this topic in the "teen love" board.
You are not in love. You are infatuated. You are a child, and you're hormones are raging like a trailer in a tornado. Calm down, ask her out, and study more. Oh, and you can buy hooked on phonics for $59.99. Good luck!

Answer by: kisses
I think it would be easier for me to help you if I knew a thing or two about this girl. But based on what I've got to work with, I'd say your chance is as good as any. How long have you know her? Are you two already friends (because from past experiences I know that it's sometimes easier to be in a relationship with someone you've known for a while)? If she's also showing some signs that she may like you, I'd go for it. But if she doesn't seem that interested in you to begin with, I'd say maybe you two are better off being friends. But most of all, I think you should go for it no matter what because (I've said this before and I'll say it again) you don't want to go through life wondering "what if..." you know? Who knows, this might work out between the two of you, and if it doesn't, at least you'll know you tried. Good Luck!!!
