"Yes, I did tell someone I liked them. Actually, I went all the way. I told them I loved them and I chickened out and wrote it down. And he didn't like me, so I kind of got rejected."
--Melissa, 12

"One time I just wrote a note and gave it to him, and what I put was 'Do u like me? If so, meet me at the back of the school.' And he said yes, he does. We have been together for 6 years now."
--Christina, 12

"At my school, there are a lot of people 'going out.' Recently, I found out someone I had a crush on has one on me! How do I tell him?"
--Lauren, 11

"I have told a boy I like him! It's easy. There are 2 ways to do (unless you count on your friends). Call up on the phone and tell him, or just tell him at school. Or you can ask your friends to tell him!! When I told a boy, he said he would be my boyfriend!! We went out for 1 year and then I dumped him in the beginning of 4th grade."
--Taylor, 10

"Well, I just told him. I mean, don't let your crush hold you down. Just come out of your hole and say it. And now that I know my crush likes me I have a load off my back."
--Lauren, 10

"On the last day of school, my goal was to somehow let my crush know that I liked him. We were riding back to school on a bus and I had to sit by him since that was the only empty seat. He asked me if I wanted to play Truth or Dare and I said yes. We played until he asked me if I liked anyone in the grade and I said yes. He said, 'Is it me?' But I said no. Then I asked him if he liked anybody and he said no. And then my best friend is like, 'She likes you, Alex.' So he knows and he really didn't make a big deal about it. We are still friends so it's fine."
-Tyler, 10

"There is this guy. He acts so sweet around me, but he's always so punky around other girls. He knows I like him. I have a feeling he likes me but I'm not sure if he does. I'm not sure if I should ask him out. I would be afraid if he said no. I wish I could tell him straight out that I like him. In other words, I love him!"
--Amber, 11

"Yes, I have. I've told this boy that I liked him many times. The first time, it was kinda scary, but now I just tell him all the time. When I first said it, it turned out that he really liked me too and we slow danced at the next school dance! :)"
--Sara, 12

"Well, my crush turned out to be one of my best friends, so I wasn't that scared to tell him. I just went up to him and said 'I like u very much' and he said that he liked me too, so he asked me out and I said of course!"
--Denisse, 12

"Well 2 girls in my class told a guy I like named Matt that they liked him, and now whenever they're by him, he goes away or something like that. And I don't want him to treat me like that!!!"
--Stephanie, 9

"Okay, there was this guy in my class that I really really liked. He had a great personality and everything. Well, one day I got the courage to ask him out, that was a year ago and we are still together today. If you like someone, tell them, they might surprise you."
--Aliah, 13

"Hi. I have, but it was through my friends. They would tell and he would say in response. So it has been pretty nice, we have been talking a little. Try it through your friends."
--Hannah, 12

"I have a friend that had a friend that was a boy. It turned out that she liked him and he liked her. She tried to hurry the relationship and she ended up getting dumped. My suggestion would be: if you're not happy w/ being just friends, take it slowly."
--Ashley, 11

"I've told my best friend my crush. She told him everything I said."
--Samantha, 10

"I told a boy that I liked him, and he said he liked me top, so then we started to go out. So just tell someone you like him or see if he likes you."
--Rebecca , 12

"There is a cute boy in my summer school class name James. He acts all smart. I think he likes me or something. I wrote a note telling him I like him, saying 'I like you very much. Ever since I saw your face I've been thinking about you.' Then I wrote 'Guess who it's from?'"
--Tondaleesha, 12

"Yes, what I did was first ask him did he like me. Even if he didn't like me, I was going to tell him how I felt and it turned out that he liked me too. It made it a lot easier to tell him how I felt."
--Sharice, 11

"To Lashell: I told my best friend who I like, and he was still my friend but not as friendly as u no what."
--Jaye, 10

"Well, it's pretty easy. If you're a shy person, all you have to do is write a note saying you like him or her. Or if you're not, just ask them out!"
--Katlyn, 11

"I didn't tell one of the guys I like, my friend did. After we went to recess in math class he said 'I know who you like!' and he started smiling. I actually froze! The other 2 guys I told them. I was starting not to care."
--Kayla, 10

"Okay, yes. I have told a person that I liked them! It took a lot of courage! I was kind of scared to at first because I didn't know whether their reaction was going to be that he feels the same way about me, or if he just wanted to forget that I ever told him and continue being 'just friends.' When I told him, he was relieved because he actually liked me back! And we went out for a little while but we broke up...we don't even talk anymore! I don't think it was worth it. Your crush for someone could just be a crush and nothing more. And when you two are already friends it is sometimes better to just remain friends. You might always have that little crush but it's not always worth losing a good friend over. But then again…if you know that nothing can come between the two of you, friendship or relationship, then give it a shot. Be careful, girls…your heart is sensitive. It can be broken very easily. I speak from experience!"
--Caitlin, 13

"I wrote a note to my ex-boyfriend to tell him that I liked him, and my new boyfriend I told him and I also asked my best friend to tell him that I liked him! Also, I didn't need to tell him, he just asked me out! Write a note to your crush and tell him or her that you like them. Or get someone that you can trust to tell her or him that you like them!"
--Melinda, 11

"Yeah, I've told a [guy] that I like him. It was pretty easy, because I'd heard from our best friend (we're best friends with the same person) that he likes me. He's always been so nice to me. We went out for a week, and then he dumped me because he'd heard from the same friend that I liked another guy. Personally, I think she was jealous. We ended up not speaking for two weeks, but things are back to normal now."
--Mandie, 13

"All you have to do, is get them in a conversation, and then ask 'Who do you like,' and if they won't tell, then you say 'Guess who I like?' and they guess. They probably won't say themselves, but if they do, say 'Maybe, but you have to tell me who you like first." He'll get the hint, and if he likes you, he'll say you, and then you tell him you like him too. If he doesn't like you, he won't say you, and then you need to try something else."
--Heather, 12

"See, all I did to get him to notice me is be calm and not chicken out. I just went to him and was friendly and he started to like me better each day."
--Molly, 11

"Okay, this is usually how I do it. #1- I get one of my friends to come with me to go see the boy. I'll say hi, then I'll start talking to my friend real loud (loud enough where he can hear me). #2- tell your friend you like him and make sure he hears it. Then #3- tell your friend to ask him out for u if he is smiling or looking at u."
--Katrina, 11

"Heck, no! I'd be WAY scared. I don't even tell my best friends if I like someone. They will tell everyone."
--Kacie, 13

"Yes, I just went up to him and said 'I like u' and he said 'U do?' Then he said 'I guess we have something in common,' and we started going out."
--Katie, 11

"There's this boy that I like. He acts like he's my friend for a week. The next week he's flirting with me, and the next week he hates me. I can't tell if he likes me or not."
--Billicia, 11

"I liked this boy and all my friends knew it. They thought I should tell him because they thought he liked me. So I told one of my friends to tell him on the last period of the day. When she told him, he stopped dead in his tracks. He had no idea that I liked him. He does not 'like me' like me but we are better friends now."
--Madison, 12

"I just stuck around and just got to know him better and I had the guts and did it and now we're together."
--Georganna, 13

"There is this boy that I like and I think he likes me. Sometimes he looks at me strange. At recess he plays basketball and before he would make a shot he would look at me and smile. And sometimes he just goes right by me and bumps me on the shoulders."
--Brittany, 11

"Yes, Lashell, I have told a person that I liked him before and I haven't just done it once, I did a lot of times before when I liked guys but didn't know how to tell them. What I do is, I always write them notes to let them know how I feel about them because I am too shy to tell them to their face. And they usually reply back and give their answers. And another thing, Lashell, don't get angry or upset if they say they're not interested. Maybe they're just not ready for a relationship right now."
--Kendra

"Well, he asked me if I liked anyone in our class. I waited a minute and then I looked at him and said 'you.' Another time, I wrote a note and had my best friend run over to him and give it to him while I hid in the bathroom. But however you do it, it's okay."
--Meghan, 10

"I have really! I walked up to him and he was with a group of his friends and I got everything. I don't like him anymore but I'm starting to think that he is going to ask me out because he likes me now!"
--Diamond, 11

"I like this person in my class. He's just my friend though. :*( How can I get him to like me???"
--Jadden, 12

"What I did sorta 2 tell sum1 I like them wuz, tell a friend like itz a secret and then tell them to spread it to their friendz, and just keep on going 'cause then it will eventually get to the 1 ur dying 4, and it won't b as embarrassing as telling him 2 his face."
--Hillary, 12

"The guy asked me who I liked...and since I liked him, I didn't tell him at first. But then he asks me again, and I email him my response. I name a bunch of guys from my school and at the end I said, 'And…I like YOU' in big letters. Turned out he liked me too, but not the girlfriend/boyfriend stuff, and I stopped liking him soon after. Now we're just friends again."
--Anonymous, 12

"Well, yes, actually I have. It wasn't really dramatic or anything, I just sent him an Easter card that mentioned that I liked him. He never really mentioned it after that, but now we get along better than we did before I gave him the card."
--Jennifer, 12

"I always show that I like someone by noticing him more, me getting to know him better. And if I still think I like him, I go for it. After all, if he says no, it's not the end of the world. Just find someone new."
--Ondrea, 12

"I have two boys I like. One's right there in my class and the other one is upstairs. I go out with one but I'm starting to like the other one. What should I do?"
--Markia, 11

"I have only told my very best friends. I have never told the crush."
--Alexandria, 12

"I like this boy. He is in 4th Grade. I know he likes me because when I am around he gets all weird. He is so funny. I do not know how I could tell him I like him. I really want to tell him that like him."
--Jennifer, 9

"I told this boy that if he wanted to go around with me [he could], and then he said yes. The next day he went to my house after school and asked me if I could go with him to the movies, and I said yes. Then when we got there he started hugging me. I don't know if I should tell my parents."
--Marci, 10

"I wrote a note to the person. At first I was scared to tell him. He just smiled."
--Ashley, 12

"I like a boy but his family and my family are very close. We've been friends for a long time and I'm afraid that if I tell him that I like him we can't be friends."
--Liss, 12

"Okay, I have walked up to a girl and I told her I had a crush on her. Not only did I get it off my chest, we are together right now. We have even kissed! And I'm supposed to go to the movies with her soon."
--Andrew, 13

"I have never told a guy I liked him, but I will tell you how to because I have almost done it. I would just breathe in and say the guy's name, and tell him as direct as I can. Politely ask him what he thinks if he has no telling in his face. If he smiles, he probably already liked you. But in all faces, ask him. You'll be glad to know what he thinks."
--Maria, 10

"I just called him and told him how long we've been friends and that I liked to get to know him better. He got the hint but most boys aren't like that though. Try it, it might work : )"
--Tianna, 13

"Well, at school I asked my friend at lunch to tell him and he was smiling at me, so at recess he came up to me and said that he liked me too. I was so happy when he told me that. "
--Melissa, 10

"I know it may seem awkward to approach a guy. But if you want him to know that u like him, u should tell him. Don't have your friends tell him, tell him yourself. If you're too nervous to tell him, just hint around the edges like I do. For example, 'Hey, I'm going to the movies on Friday, r u? Well, I'm going to see Spider-man at 7 o'clock, and there's a bunch of people going. You could come too.' All you have to do is leave an open invitation and hope he comes. If he does, that's great, get to know him better. If not, well then, try another time but don't be pushy. He might not know if he's ready or he just might not like you back."
--Catie, 12

"OK, so one day there was this boy (and I will not say his name), and we had to do this D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) thing where you had to make coupons and people had to sign it. So when he asked me to sign his, I was in shock, because I really liked this kid. And then when I went to sign it, I wrote his name all over the paper, because I forgot I had it. I was so embarrassed! Then the night of that day there was a dance and HE ACTUALLY ASKED ME TO DANCE WITH HIM! I was in total shock, and, after ignoring him the rest of that embarrassing day, we became a couple! I don't want to say his name because not many people know about it. And also, one thing is that he kinda got me back with the coupon thing, because once I was at a restaurant with my friends, and we went to all go to the girls' room, and he and his little bro walked out of the girls' room. At that point I fell in love, and also felt so bad, because all of my friends laughed, and I giggled. One of the best things is I sit right next to him in science and math. Kewl, right?"
--Brieann, 11

"Well not yet, but on June 21st (the last day of school), I will. I am so excited."
--Emily, 12

"Yes, I have told a person that I really liked him, and you want to know what he said? He said that HE REALLY LIKED ME TOO! I asked him after some of my friends put confidence in me and gave me courage. Now my problem is, who will ask who out first?"
--Nessa, 13

"I was at school, and I told her I dumped my old girlfriend, and I said, 'I bet you don't know who I like? I like you, Brittney.' She said, 'Why do you like me.' I said, 'You are cute.' The next day, I said, 'If you don't bring back my eraser, I'm going to kiss you.' She said, 'Okay,' at recess, and I did. And now we are boyfriend and girlfriend. The end."
--Rolando, 8

"Well, yes, I have told a person I liked them. I was totally nervous, but he liked me too (which I knew). Everything worked out fine, and now he's my boyfriend. And if you're too scared to tell him, then ask a friend to tell him for you. It takes the stress away."
--Marisa, 11

"Dear Lashell, I've told someone I liked him. He liked me, so we started talking, and we dated for a while. We had a fight, but we made up, so we're still together. But you need to find out if you have things in common."
--Alex, 10

"I told this guy I liked him. Actually, I answered his prayers, because he liked me too!! So be yourself. If you can't hold the secret any longer, just say it before it takes over your whole social life. Trust me, I know!!! GOOD LUCK!!!"
--Elizabeth, 11

"Yes, of course!! I didn't actually tell him, I just hinted a lot. Eventually, he figured it out, and asked me out!! Don't you hate it when parents say, 'Go where?' when you say you're going out with someone?!?"
--Emily, 13

"Me and this guy were like brother and sister (and that's it). He's really nice and funny and sweet. I started to like him. I told him I liked him, and he said he liked me too. Well, we were chatting one day, and I asked him out, and he said he didn't want a girlfriend right now. Then, one of my best friends asked him out (she liked him too, even though I liked him before her, and friends aren't supposed to do that to each other), and he said yes! Now we don't talk. It has been almost 2 weeks. As for my best friend and me, we talk a little, but not like a full conversation. Just a few sentences from time to time."
--Lisa, 11

"Hi. I've told MANY boys that I like them. It takes practice. If you feel comfortable around the person, just go up to him/her and ask him or her to talk. Then just simply say, 'I have some mixed feelings for you. I think I like you.' If they respond that they like you too, congratulations! If they say they don't like you, don't get discouraged. Just say 'Thank you,' or OK,' and walk away. Remember, there are lots of people out there waiting! You will find the right person one day!"
--Katie, 11

"Yes. This guy that I liked was driving me crazy, so one day I went up to him and said, 'Hey, I like you. I think you are super hot!' He was in total shock! He asked me out later that day! He's still my boyfriend today."
--Elizabeth, 13

"Every day since I first saw Howell on the bus in 4th grade, my heart thumps when I pass by him. I see his dimples flash at me when I bat my eyes at him. In March, I was writing in my Diary, when I decided to write a letter to him. Nothing fancy, nothing mushy, only an envelope with a photo of my dog and me playing frisbee, and a sheet of stationary with little hearts on the border, asking if he would be my pen pal. In four days, I received two letters addressed to me. The first read, 'Sure. I'll write to you whenever I can (hint, hint). Was it you who sent me that Valentines Day card with the cute puppy on it? -Howell.' On the second envelope, no return address was written, and in a computer printed font was the question, 'Do you like me?' The next day at school, I saw his cheeks blush as he glanced at me from the corner of his eyes."
--Diana, 10

"I asked him on the phone who he liked, and he said me. So I came back and said I like u too. So now we are going out."
--Casey, 12

"Well, I just walked up to him & told him I liked him, & he turned around & said, 'Hey, cool!'"
--Brooke, 10

"Yea, I told someone I liked him once. We were on the phone, and he asked me if I liked him, but he said that he doesn't like me like that. Now our friendship isn't the way it used 2 be. It's weird."
--Kim, 13

"I could never tell someone I like him without starting to cry in the middle of it."
--Jessica, 10

"I told a boy that I liked him. Then he said, 'Thank God you said something, I like you too!' So sometimes, you just have 2 say something!"
--Ray, 11

"Put a note on his desk the last day of school!"
--Dee, 12

"Yeah, I did, and he said nothing. He asked me if I liked him, so I told him the truth."
--Nicole, 12

"I have actually had boys like me that I didn't like. All they said was that they thought I was a good friend to them, and that they'd like to get to know me better. Since I didn't like them, I tried to let them off easy. Like 'I'm not ready for something like that,' or 'I'm sorry but I like someone else.' But if they were mean, I told them that I don't like them at all, but in a nice way."
--Steph, 12

"Just come out and say it. You'll feel much better."
--Destiny, 12

"When I got on the bus on my way to go home, I was telling a friend who I liked, but who just had to be standing in back of me...yes, it was my crush! I didn't realize that he was there until I said, 'Will you ask him if he likes me?' and my crush said, 'Um, how about we just stay friends for now, ok?'"
--Mandi, 12

"No, I haven't, but my friend has embarrassed me by telling my crush that I like him in front of the class before. He sat behind me, and she would say, 'Stella, he's not here yet. Oh, here he comes, he's right behind you.' And everyone started laughing! I couldn't talk to him for the rest of the year!"
--Stella, 13

"Yes, I have told a boy that I had a crush on him!!! I just said to myself that I could tell him! And I did tell him!! What happened: He said that he liked me too, and that he had liked me at the beginning of 4th grade."
--Alli, 10

"When I told my crush, my friend told him for me, and I was scared that he didn't like me back. But my friend said he liked me! She said that he wanted to meet me next recess. Now he's my boyfriend."
--Abbey, 11

"I have never actually gone up to a boy and told him that I liked him. I really, really have a huge crush on this one boy, so I told my friend to tell him, so she did, and he said he liked me kind of too, but he doesn't want to go out with me. Now I sit by him in some of my classes, but he acts strange around me."
--Tiff, 13

"I was at a school dance, and my friends knew that I wanted to dance with my crush. My crush said he would dance with me. My friend said to go up to him, but I don't like doing that, so they dragged me up to him (literally), and I fell right at his feet. Well anyway, he ended up actually COMING and asking me to dance."
--Anonymous, 13

"I sent my crush a love letter and told him that I like liked him, and he asked me if I wanted to be his g/f."
--Breanna, 11

"I told my friend that I liked a guy named Gregory, and she told Justin, and Justin told Gregory, and I still don't know if he likes me or not, but I'm still embarrassed."
--Samantha, 11

"I have a boy in my class who says he loves me, and I love him too. I told him and he says that he wants to go out with me, and I said 'yes.' But there are girls that want to go out with him too, and they all want to fight me. What should I do?"
--Stephanie, 12

"I told my friend to call [my crush] so she could tell him that I liked him. The next day when I got to school everyone was talking about me as if I were a celebrity...Well, I talked to my friend who called him, and she said, 'Haven't you heard? He likes you too!!! Since kindergarten!! Everyone is suspecting he is going to ask you out!' Well...that was in 4th grade, and we have been together since then, and we are in 7th now! We are in love! It luckily worked out for me!"
--Belle, 12

"I liked this boy named Luke. He didn't know, until one day on the Internet he asked me who I liked. I told two other boys who I thought were cute. He asked me if I liked anyone else. I said, 'Yes, YOU.' He just put, 'Oh,' like it was no big deal. The next day at school, he told me he liked me too!!!"
--Candice, 11

"I haven't told this boy I like him cuz I don't think he likes me back. He has girlfriends and is a little girl crazy. Plus, I know that my friends would NEVER let me hear the end of it."
--Anonymous, 12

"Here is some advice -- trust me I've had a lot of boy problems. If you tell someone that you like them, and then they start picking on you or being mean to you, then that might be their way of flirting with you."
--Caitlyn, 12

"We were in kindergarten together and first grade. All of a sudden I found he was calling me his girlfriend. When I told him we were just friends, he said he hated my guts. Can you help me?"
--Ashley, 9

"Once I told a boy named Raymond that I liked him, and he just asked me if I wanted to go out with him, and I said yes! I think he is soooooo cute and is the best guy I ever saw!!!"
--Rosa, 11

"I like this really cute guy in school, and he knows I like him, and I even sent him a poem to tell him how I feel about him. I think he likes me back, and I really want to go out with him, and I know he won't ask me out because he is too shy when it comes to girls. I have even been thinking that I should ask him out, but, I don't have the guts to."
Anonymous, 12

"Well, there's a boy I really like, and I keep on emailing him, and I waited for a month for him to email me back, and he hasn't. I feel like a stalker because I keep on emailing him, and he ignores it."
--Chelsea, 11

"Once, I told a crush that I liked him simply just by sending him a note. Well, my friend sent him one, and I got a big surprise that he liked me too. I was so happy and excited. Finally he asked me out."
--Courtney, 12

"Well, I really like this boy. He is my age, and I am in 6th grade. I have liked him for 7 years! I must've asked him out 200 times! But unfortunately he said no. I cry for him every night! What should I do? Should I tell him everything? He already knows I like him. Please help me."
--Tina, 12

"My friend liked this boy, and I told my friend she was right, he was so cute. His name is David, and he was so cute that I fell in love with him. I told my friends, and they told him, and then I really do not know if he likes me or not. The thing is, he stares at me A LOT."
--Aliana, 11
