Good. Just be a friend to him. Middle school is way too young for sexual involvements.
Yes, I know that "all" the kids are doing it, even when they're, like 12 or 13 or something. But at that age, you're just not emotionally ready for a "real" relationship, and it's way too easy to get your feelings hurt. See? Your feelings are hurt already, because he only wants to be friends!
But really: You do NOT want to get a rep as being one of those loose girls who does stuff with guys in the restrooms (or wherever). That's a kind of popularity that you do not want to have! Just hang out and be friends, and that's really good enough for now. Besides, being "just friends" helps to build your social skills and helps you to feel less-awkward for when you ARE mature-enough to handle a BF/GF relationship.

1. Be yourself. Kids spot phonies in a sec.
2. Join a club if you can. It's a good way to make friends and feel more comfortable.
3. Be prepared for more projects. My daughter had twice as many last yr than she did in elementary school.
4. if you get a locker, keep some 'just in case" things in there, like a mirror, girl stuff, extra pens and stuff. Do not bring aspirin or midol or anything like that to school. You could get the boot.
5. Don't sweat the teasing. My daughter said she was called braceface, nerd, newbie, freshhead, etc, during her first year. She just shook it off.
6.Always have a phone number of a classmate from every class you have in case you miss something. My daughter missed some classes because of appts or band or club meetings. Sometimes she did'nt know what wad going on because she could'nt call anyone to ask if she was not able to reach the teacher after school.
7. If this boy only likes you as a friend then I guess you have to decide if you can accept that for now. Just go with the flow. be his friend, if anything grows from it, great.

Middle School will be one of the best times ever, trust me. I'm now going into 10th grade, but I have some good knowledge on this stuff. I was terrified to go to middle school, I'd have nightmares, and I thuoght that I would hate it. Amazingly, though, the first day wasn't that hard, and I soon realized that I loved middle school! You get to be around more friends than in elemantary school, the food is so much better that it's unbelievable, you get to act more grown up, and you'll build friendships that will last you until the end of highschool. I met my best friend in sixth grade middle school, and we're still best friends (infact, we just went shopping at the mall yesturday. lol). If I could give you any tips, it would be to do all of your homework, get to class on time (which isn't hard at all, I always thought that it would be, and I was nervous out of my mind before high school about it, but it's really easy and you won't even think about it), and make as many friends as possible. About the boy? Wait on it. Middle school relationships don't last long, and if you try to go out with him now, you won't have a chance to date him seriously in highschool. Still, though, try to be very good friends with him, and maybe he'll catch the drift. lol. Good luck with middle school, I'm sure that you'll do fine and love it more than elementary school. -Lella^_^

Congratulations! You are entering a wonderful time of your life. My tips are the following:
Be the best self you can be by:
A. Studying anything and everything you can get your hands on. Really excercise your brain. Be a very sharp girl. We think love is a physical thing; but, it's really a very mental thing. Know SOMEthing about EVerything, and EVerything about SOMEthing. That will make you really interesting and attractive to, not only the opposite sex but, EVeryone. It will also give you lots of confidence.
B. Keep yourself physically, clean, neat and drop-dead gorgeous! Dress modestly; but, definitely, in style. Do the fads now. As a student you can get away with it; once you're in the work world, you won't have as much freedom.
C. Keep your spiritual aspect as stainless as your physical self. Study uplifting, motivational and spiritual materials, so that you can be the best spiritual self you can be. Be a very good person, with all the attributes, morals and virtues that entails.
Everyone should be friends. Don't see him, first, as a boy; see him, first, as a human being. If you become good friends, it may lead to a lifetime friendship that could one day turn into marriage. It's a really big mistake to see him first as a boy. Many people marry people they think they love, only to find out, AFter they're married, that it was only lust (look it up in the dictionary). Then it's too late. They think they love them; but, find out too late, that they didn't, really, even LIKE them; because, they were never friends, first. It was just animal (physical) attraction. So, don't knock friendship. Everything should start there. Husbands and wives should be each other's BEST friends. The trouble is, many people don't take the time to be friends before anything else, and they wake up one day to realize they don't even LIKE their mates!
This is the time to play the field. Do it now. You can't know if you "LOVE" someone, if you have no one else to compare them to/with. Don't do this "steady" thing. That's for much, much later. When it's time to marry--definitely, not now. Besides, the best way for him to become more attracted to you, is to see how popular you are, for having a great mind, body and spirit. But, definitely, not because you're "easy". Don't be. Biggest mistake ever, for any woman, no matter what her age.
Give the guys a high standard to reach for. Make them come up to where you are; don't go down to where they are. Be their soul. Be a strong woman. Everyone is attracted to strength. Do NOT be weak. If you are weak; the guys will just dump you, looking for that strong girl. Guys just go through all the girls who'll say, "Yes" 'til they get to the girl who'll say "No". That's the one they'll marry; 'cause they'll know they can trust her. If she'll say, "No" to the one she loves 'til after marriage, then he can trust her to be faithful to him, AFter marriage.
Don't let them define you. Know who you are, and if they don't like YOUR program, send them on their way. Don't change to be what THEY want you to be. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
I wish you all the luck in the world in your middle school years. I don't know who you are, Liz; but, I shall remember you and your sweet question; and, when I do, I shall turn my memory into a prayer for you, that you re being a very smart girl (woman)--not a stupid one, like so many.

Middle school is just the same as grade school. You're still with all the same people. There's no big change except the title. My advice would be to chill out and be yourself.

Just be yourself. Join lots of clubs and organizations so that you can meet new people and make new friends. Put yourself out there, and people will discover what you can do, and hopefully, the boy that you like will too. ;-)
