So I met this girl 3 years ago and I have had the biggest crush on her for 2 and a half years, she isnt aloud to date till she is 16, we are both 14 and I dont know what to cause I want to be with her so bad, I've never liked anyone like i love this girl, she is the prettiest, nicest, most amazing girl I have ever met, and i have been making a friend ship with her and we know alot about eachother, like today, she came over and we watched a movie together in the living room, it was amazing and I enjoyed every second of it, she makes me soo happy!

[Ali-zpyf]

I'm the one who's not allowed to date. But my crush and I like each other

[TheOldSpaghettiFactory]

hey josh, i've already said this in 2 of your vids but when we actually start dating our crush, what do we do next? thanks in advance

[ethanmorrow]

I asked my crush out and she isn't allowed to go out with me and our "relationship" has gone dull; we talk less and interact less too. Now what?

[elementaljedi]

What if your parents aren’t so sure about your crush? Can you make a video on that plzz?

[baguettefeet]

I just found out my crush likes me back too recently, and I'm the one not allowed to date😩 idk because he never had a girlfriend before. I don't wanna go against my parents wishes though I really like him.
He said he'll wait for me, but I am scared he will lose interest in me.
He also suggested we hang out as friends🙃

[brycenpotts]

Ok... my crush can’t date until she’s 16 (she’s almost 15 now) and we are already really good friends. Until she can start dating, do I just keep trying to strengthen the friendship even more, or what should I do for a year?

[littlebadboscjrrockband]

I asked her out and she said her parents don’t want her to date 😭

[xctave]

this will be so hard for me i literally have to wait 3 years before i can go out with her as many times as i want with her im trying my best to stay strong

[sebastianjohnston]

I hate it like this, cause i asked this girl out, she said yes than, 3 days later she says she isnt allowed to date and cant go out.

[tylerfarr]

She’s been my dream girl since grade 5 and we’ve liked each other since then, so i asked her if she wanted to go out with me and she said she a yes and no, yes she WOULD (score!!!) but that she didn’t really want to date at all in highschool, and that she still liked me and that i was nice, and she wasn’t rejecting me, she was basically saying, not yet, she wanted to date in college, so i said (partly because i’m kinda limited where i live) that i would stay around until she was ready. she couldn’t express her thanks that i’d actually commit to her and stay but this doesn’t change the fact she won’t date for a while

i don’t think anything went wrong but it didn’t go as favored, but i’m glad with what i said and i’m glad she doesn’t want to dive in yet, it just stings a bit since we’ve liked each other for a long time but, you get it
edit: we are going on sophomore this year so, five year crush or so both ways?? man…

I’m a 13 year-old in 7th grade. There’s a girl that I’ve liked for maybe a year and have developed some pretty strong feeling for. As I began noticing her more and more and conversating with her more often a couple of my friends realized that I had a crush on her. One of them walked around telling EVERYONE including her and her friends that I liked her and the next day one of her friends approached me asking me if this was true. I tried to deny it but it was obvious. By that point a lot of my close friends knew but it wasn’t common knowledge among everyone. A few days later, after continuing to strengthen my relationship with her she called me with her friend asking if it was true if I liked her. I avoided the question but eventually quit stalling and gave a “I guess, sure” Her friend then texted me to clarify that I DID like her then telling me she liked me as well and I should ask her out. I then called her and got a yes. We texted back and forth for the next two hours and I went to sleep pretty proud of myself. I woke up the next morning to a “Hey” and assumed she was just telling me good morning so I responded with the same. I was wrong I get a paragraph text about how she talked to her parents about what had happened. They didn’t approve but she wanted to stay friends at least. I played it off as fine but was dying inside. It’s been a matter of weeks and I don’t talk to her very often at school and she doesn’t usually respond to texts so I can’t communicate with her electronically, either. I really like her still. What should I do?

[lynk]

We both like each other but she can’t date 😕

[undertaletaze]

Now in this scenario, I’m the one who not allowed to date at all.What makes it worse my crush is the same guy I use to *HATE* in middle school.I really don’t know what to do at this point…

[Gavin_M.]

Randomly stumble upon you, while googling the title of this vid. Excellent advice, will start to do immediately (well not just BAM, but you know what I mean.) You are what I need as a counselor. (Not that I need one)

im actually going thru this right now, we just graduated a few days ago and i confessed to him and he likes me back and we talked about this thru text just a few hours ago and he said his parents didnt allow him to date and i liked my crush for six years now AND we arent going to the same school next year idk what to do helpppp

[josephstalin]

Josh I'm in a relationship for 11 days now, (I'm 15, she's 16) and we talk a lot at school but when we text, I always have to text first. Should I stop texting, or do you have other advice?

[danielkelly]

Can you do one on talking to your crush when you are introverted and she is extroverted

[JayK-vvye]

A girl said to me she’s not allowed to bring out her number or date but 6 months later She’s starts dating a older guy and that really sucks😡

[zackpackinator]

What if my crush can’t date, but she likes me back?
