I am an 8th grade guy with a massive crush on a girl named Ally. I think she is sweet, kind, spunky, and funny, and beautiful. She is in one of my classes and i talked to her at every dismissal period. Frankly, she is not interested but does not mind me; things have become akward between us ever since she knew i liked her. At this point , I dont want to pursue her as a gf but more as a friend. How do I break down these akward barriers between us? Do I wait until hs and hope for a new scenario? Do I just try and become her friend again? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was at a party with her last night and she told my friends she might dance with me. I just want to talk to her. She doesnt respond to my texts anymore but will talk to me in person. Her friend told me she didnt want me to think she liked me back so she stopped texting. Her friends have tried to talk to her about it. This girl confuses me. BTW I am about 4' 10"; she is about 5 foot. Also, I have curly brown hair and wide shoulders; I have been working on muscle tone but i look pretty strong already. Now i am just rambling on. These traits are just random facts that may or may not help. Please answer.
