Hey guys! So as you may know I recently started my Freshman year of highschool. On the 4th day, I was in my Spanish class and one of the Sophomore boys started talking to me. At first I thought it was just a quick chat to pass the time, but a few days later, he was the boy who accompanied me to my very first dance.

So this guy is super nice and polite and it was clear he liked me, but I like another boy right now, so I just tried to play it off as him being friendly.

The whole time at the dance he was trying to push me to slow dance with him and hold his hand, but he would back off when he realized how uncomfortable I was. And it wasn't like he was being creepy or anything, it's just that A, I had never danced with anyone other than my dad, and B, I had never held a boys hand, let alone be close enough to slow dance with one.

So at the end of the dance we left about 5min early to beat the crowd back to the cars, and he asked me if I wanted him to walk me out. I told him sure, and he held his hand out for me to grab it.

I hadn't told him that I liked another guy yet, so I got really uncomfortable and he apologized. I told him everything, and that I thought he was a really nice guy, but that I liked someone else. He actually took it very well and didn't push me whatsoever. In fact he told me to go after this guy if I really do like him. At the end of the night, we hugged and he told me that he would always be there for me.

This happened this Friday. The next day I was supposed to go to the movies with the friend from the dance... And my crush. The friend said he wanted to meet my crush, and he really wanted to go watch the movie with us. (Btw I'm not allowed to go to the movies with just a guy, I have to have another friend there with me)

Well my crush bailed and didn't tell me why, so I invited another friend. I went to the movies with the friend from the dance and another friend. There was no awkwardness whatsoever, and we acted like best friends.

Now I don't know how to feel about this guy. I met him on Tuesday, and a few days later he's trying to hold my hand. I think this guy is so sweet, and I'm realizing just how much better he is than the guy I have a crush on, so I just don't know how to feel about either of them. And I'm not saying my crush is a bad guy, but my mom has pointed out the fact that he is kinda using me, and Everytime he has used me, the friend from the dance has been there.

I think I know what most of you will say, I just don't know if I like the friend from the dance like that or not.

I'm sorry I just needed to get this off my chest and I was excited that I went to my first dance. Tell me what you think, or if you have any advice for me. Love you all!
