Okay, Im fourteen, and I've been talking to a guy a lot lately, and he just recently asked me out... and we aren't going out yet, but I do like him a lot... anyway, I have something similar to tourettes. When I was little, i would sort of hum at the end of sentences or when everything was quiet. The doctors tested for it, and they said I was normal and it was just a nervous habit that I would grow out of... and I have grown out of it. But all my friends to this day believe I have tourettes. And now my "boyfriend" found out, and he says it doesn't bother him, but it has to, right? I mean, no fifteen year old boy would truly want to go out with a girl with tourettes... i mean, its not extreme enough for anyone to notice it. Its pretty much gone... and its extremely hard to talk to him about it. I dont like to talk to anyone about it, and I never have. Its the only thing i've kept completely to myself... i dont even know what my question is. Any advice at all would be great... thank

Don't be so sensitive about it. If he says it doesn't bother him then give him a chance.

Stop worrying about it. If he said it doesn't bother him and you said your tick is pretty much gone, and the doctor said you don't have it, stop worrying about it. You are making an issue out of something that isn't even an issue. Tell your friends to stop saying you have Tourette's too. That's just not funny.

Sounds like you are afraid of getting into a relationship and looking for excuses for it to fail. At fourteen he probably doesn't even know what tourettes means.

Just dont think about it when you are talking and dont feel nervous. We all do stupid stuff in front of a person when we are nervous. Just remember that at 15 years old you shouldn't be stressing yourself out about a little issue. I mean if he likes you and he keeps on speaking to you then he probably dont mind at all. So just go on naturally about yourself and just dont think about it. If he likes you the way you do then everything should work out. If it doesnt bother you then it shouldn't bother him

well. if he says it doesn't bother him, maybe it doesn't!
but i am glad to know that you're being realistic and not swooning after him and assuming everything is fine just because you like him right off the bat.
well. if it's true that you say it's pretty much gone, then he might just not care, y'know? and if he does care, don't worry about it. he's not the nicest of people if it does, if you think about it.

Put it behind you and start living for now and tomorrow instead of what was yesterday. We all grow out of things! This boy obviously likes you for who/what you are now. Enjoy the attention and your confidence will grow 10 fold!

if he has been talking to you he knows how you talk and tourettes is fairly obvious from what i understand --- i would not be worried about it and as you get closer to someone you let them into your secrets so talk to him about it let him know you are concerned about it --- you may find thats its a case of your "friends" being nasty more than anything else

That is alright. Nothing to worry. Reconcile with it as a reality.

Why are you looking for a problem where there is none?
