Fantasy Guy

I'm 13 years old and I have a question to ask you) and I'm in love witha 15 year old guy. His name is Tom, and he's in the Theatre Sports team withme. My best friend likes him that way too. We talk about him quite a bit. He's nice-looking, musical, popular, etc. The only problem, of course, is that he's in year 10 and I'm in year 8. At the moment he's just a kind of fantasy. Should I just give up on him?

Charmaine:
At your age, fantasy about sex is perfectly normal and healthy. That's allit should be for now as you have all the time in the world to catch up withthe real thing. Talking to your friends and being curious is fine as well.Why shouldn't you keep enjoying your crush on this boy? There's no harm init as long as you don't get too intense about it or worked up about thefuture. Take it for what it is and you never know, he might be interested aswell and maybe some time, he will make a move. Even then, take it slow. Youare at a terrific time in your life so don't narrow your choices too soon.
