Hey, I feel for you. I want a boyfriend so bad. But the guys that like me, I should say like one or two,lol, are guys that I dont like. I want a guy that is sweet, he has to make me laugh is number one, he doesnt have to be smart, but someone that I can talk to. Thats why I think being friends with a guy first, is the best way. But yeah I know what you mean. I have a best friend who is a guy and I have had a major crush on him 6th, 7th, and part of 8th grade. I realized that I love him as a best friend, but it wouldnt work out between us. SO I got over him, and had a new crush. We are still best friends. I think it is the same case for you. You love him like a friend, maybe one day you two will get together, but dont make him uncomfortable, if he likes you just as a friend, or you may lose him altogether. Your only 13, trust me, you will have a million crushes before you fall hard into love. I know how hard it is to see him date other people. I mean one time I was with him, and he was dating this girl, and he like went to go see her, and I was so mad at him, he had no idea why. LoL, but I got over it, and when you get a boyfriend, he could become jealous. Though dont get a boyfriend just to make him jealous, you could really hurt the guy that you used. I never used a guy, but I loved that my best friend was jealous when I had a boyfriend. All this advice is from my own experience!!
