I think that as long as they don't go "too far" (ya know what I mean), it's perfectly fine at about 7th or 8th grade.
I don't like those girls who ask a boy out on Monday and dump them on Wednesday. It's unbelievable that kids do that. If that's what all middle schoolers do, then they are obviously not ready for a serious relationship. There's the most popular girl who's been with the most popular guy for *gasp* approx. 7 months. But they do "break up" every week or so and then forgive each other the next day.
There are some really immature kids in our school. I'll get on the bus in the morning and be amazed at what I hear flying out of these kids mouths. They not only say curse words, but throw rude and unnessecary comments at one another. Eek.
I, personally, am in love. And I'm not talking about one of those cheesy boyfriend deals (more like scams) I've mentioned above. I think if I (or he) mustered up the courage to confront each other, we could really love each other (and I don't mean "you know what"). Like, I've seen some signs. He talks to me, and he's only "rude" around his friends. He gives me these weird stares in our Spanish class; I think that's his way of getting my attention. And golly, does it work!
He's said hi to me numerous times in the hallway, and I've caught him sneaking some looks at me in gym class. So today I was proud of myself when he looked my way while I was hitting the win for us in volleyball. I want to tell him so bad, but it's so hard. Once I asked him why he gives me those looks, and he thought I was mad, so he was like, "I'm sorry" and I was like, "No no, I just wanna know why you look at me in Spanish" He started to laugh, I think that was a sign. He might have been laughing because he thinks I should know why he stares. And I do. Ah, love love love...
Oh dear, I've turned this into my own Fairytale!
Carry on with your opinions, everyone!
