Hey.
Before i get started, i am 13 years old. At my martial arts school there is a guy who is an assitant teacher and he is 18 years old. I will call him A.
Ok so, i know it is common for girls my age to have crushes on older guys, and i think that is what has happened. But he seems to like me (atleast as a friend) and he (what i think) flirts with me alot when he isnt teaching. Like he will kick at me and if i flirt with him, like poke him or bump into him or play name games, he usually does it back. And i have been catching a lot of eye contact with him. I could just be getting it randomly but who knows.
Anyway though, i recently got his phone number because i took a picture with my phone and he wanted me to send it to him. I sent him some txts and he has answered every one. I am trying not to seem too into him and so im keeping my txts short and to the point.
Would it be weird if i tried to get him to like me? I would really like to have him as my boyfriend, but i dont know if he would want to be with a young girl like me. I am in 7th grade going into 8th and he is graduating next week. I have alot of feelings for him and i dont want them to go to waste since i usually dont fall too hard for guys unless they are "perfect".
What do you think i should do?
