So at a school dance, I asked the boy I liked to dance. Let's call him Joe. So I liked Joe since my class went on a 4-day hiking trip in October. In January one of my friends let's call her Emma told me she knew that Joe liked me because he told her. Now Joe is like the shy introvert type so she said she would kill me if I told anyone else. So, life goes on I start to notice Joe looking at me during lunch and other stuff like that. So time goes on. Ok so I'm am at the Valentine's day dance and Joe came and he never comes to dances. So my other friend was gonna call her Mary pulled me aside and was like so I know that Joe likes you he told me. And I was like that sounds really suspiciously similar to what Emma said. So I started freaking out and pulled Emma into the bathroom and I was like: When did Joe tell you he liked me. and she said he told them while they were volunteering at the WARM Center. (You need volunteer hours to graduate). Then after that, I was like I'm gonna ask him to dance. But Joe isn't the type to dance (shy, introvert.) I asked my friend Grace to ask him if he would say yes to someone asking him to dance. He said Yes. So I asked him to slow dance... He said yes. It was awkward and we kept dancing after the song had finished cause we didn't realize it. I hid in the bathroom for the rest of the dance. Okay so I go to school on Monday and it is so awkward and or friends make fun of us at lunch. I haven't really talked to him since that night. Idk what to do?

so I have never really had a serious crush considering I am only 13 but I think I really like this one guy. I have known him since 4th grade and we have had at least 3 classes together each year. This year I have 5 classes with him. He is a fairly shy guy he doesn't talk to people much tan outside his friend group where he acts open and friendly. We talk to each other on I would say a daily basis. I catch him looking at me mostly in every class we have together he will have a little smile on his face sometimes. We take the same art class. In this class, there is music and were allowed to dance if we are in the mood. He barely talks to other people including me since I have known him but since this year started he started talking to me and laughing with me as if I were one of his friends. We made up a dance in the same art class mentioned earlier together and whenever I do silly dances he always laughs. One time in a class building activity in homeroom we were outside and blindfolded. we were supposed to find the person infrot of us and make a conga line. the boy I think I like was behind me and he threaded his fingers through mine on accident I think but I don't know since he didn't immediately remove his hand. I really like him but I don't know if he likes me back. Help pls!!!!

So it was that one health class about puberty and we were partnered up to read books about puberty. It was already really awkward cause we are friends. When we got to the part about erections (btw I'm a girl) he kept talking about how annoying it was and that it always happened in gym class and when he was hanging out with me. Now I was really uncomfortable and asked him to stop talking about it. He didn't stop talking about it until the end of class though. I'm just wondering what message he was trying to put across and if that situation ever happens again what can I do to defuse it
