He likes you and is afraid of being hazed by his friends if he were to show his true colors around you.  If you start to have a steady relationship with him just keep it low key untill everyone's maturity level advances a little and eventually he will feel at ease being with you around his friends.  The best  way to do this whole political dance is to befriend his friends and start doing things as a group together; but keep your focus on him every time the group of you goes out to the mall or a movie or somewhere else.

Most likely the kids that he is spending time with do it.. That unfortunatly happens a lot. Just sit and talk with him, he will come around.. I think all kids do this at some point.

yes yes yes!  hold him back sooner than l8r if nessisary!!! in 1st grae he'll get closer to his friends, and 1st grade is when i found my best friends.  everyone will remember him as 'hey isnt that kid the one who was held back' dont wait!\n\nps im 14 yrs old in 7th grde, we still have that kid in 6th tht everyone remembers as the kid held back in 1st grade.  and kindergarden isnt as big of a deal cuz u havnt made good friends yet

Your friend backing off might be a clue that he knows that the boy likes you and he wants to give you two space.  However, he could be just enjoying the wrestling match.  Act like you would normally around him. Good Luck!

You have to come out of your shell somewhat kid. Do it in small ways that are comfortable for you, maybe talk to him when there aren't a whole bunch of people around. I'm sure he'll think you're great!

I was in the same situation believe it or not.  He is just a little shy around you because he likes you. it looks like you kinda have to be the leader in this relationship because it sure doesn't look like he is. that's what i think.\nBest of luck

Sounds like he does! Listen if you really like him you need to let him know before he gets to the point that he feels that anything more would mess up the friendship. If he doesn't feel for you the way you hope Hell you still got one totally awesome friend!

i know how you feel cause i'm going through this too but you have to handle it right , just leave the first move for the boy , if he really likes you he'd talk to you and declare his feelings ..anyway it's just my opinion and you have the last word ...anytime you need me i'd be so happy to offer my help ----> Nancy

Find a way to communicate with him outside of school.  Try sending him an email, or if you've got his telephone # call him. He probably just don't need the kids teasing him about you and prefer to not deal with it, but that does not mean that he does not like you, he may or may not, but there is only one way to find out, so try to speak with him on different grounds and you'd know exactly how he feels.

you must be in your primary classes..\n\njust have a convo with the kid.. he must be exploring all these new changes in him.... like hormonal... lol.. when these kick in, boys do get a little clingy!

It does not seem like he's fully matured yet but then again boys will be boys...he plays childish games.I believe he likes the attention.When you laugh at a childs mishaps they begin to think it's funny and try to do it often to make you laugh!Also,I think he's trying to get in your girls pants...and if he could have it his way he would have you both.He's just waiting for the right time...sort of testing the waters on you both.Manipulate him the way he is playing you girls.Talk it over with your girl.If she likes him then you might as well just let them have eachother.He's not worth getting jealous or fighting over...\nbtw,thanks for the advice on the hills
