I appreciate your struggle and even more your desire to please God. Thoughts of that nature are not limited to teenagers.
I have heard some Christians say that you should not pick a date that you know you would not want as a mate. The Bible is clear that Christians should not marry non-Christians. So, your view of him may need to be that if he does become a Christian, then you could express your interest in getting to know him. Until that time, it is best to trust your instincts (and the prodding of the Holy Spirit that led you to write here) to leave him behind.

Temptation is hard to over come. If you were a strong leader in as a Christian I'd advise you to have a friendly relationship with him that maybe you could bring this boy to Christ. You know. Just because someone is in a bad crowd doesn't mean they don't believe in Christ. He may be just looking for a way out his self. God puts people into your life for a reason. Some things are a test some are for help that you need or that you can give. The temptation you feel is it innocent or lustful? Be honest with yourself. To love another person is not bad that's good but to lust is bad. Pray against the lust against temptation.
Go check out what the Lord says.
Mark 14:38
Watch and pray so you will not fall into temptation. They spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
1 Corinthians 10:13
God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Galatians 6:1
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently, But watch yourself or you also may be tempted.
Go and look up the rest in your Bible.
1 Cor. 7:5
Jas. 1:13-14
Mathew 26:41
1 Th 3:5
Heb 2:18 , 4:15
Read these chapters let me know if you need any more help.

I hope reading Proverbs 3 help you. If you feel that the enemy is leading you astray to get to be with this guy, have you considered witnessing to him? If you think that it shouldn't be you who should do this, ask another Christian friend to help you out and maybe you can evangelize this boy and bring him to get to know Christ.
Prayers for you... prayers not to stumble and not to go astray.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you everyday to walk with the Lord always.
add... Here are some scriptures to counter temptation:
Ephisians 4:27, James 1:14-15, James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8-9, Hebrews 4:15-16, Hebrews 12:2

You can not "stop" the temptation but........
13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Cor 10:13 (NKJV)
If you are a Christian-God will not allow you to be temped beyond what you can stand up to.
However-when you feel the spirit say "no"-then you go! Don't stand around in the enemies camp. If you play with this long enough-the enemy will find a way to break down your defenses. God will provide a way of escape. When he does-you must use it!

To start with, 1 Corinthians 10:13 states:
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
In addition, Hebrews 2:17,18 says:
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
So from the first test you know that for every temptation that you have, God already has prepared for you a way of escape. The second text leads you to that source of escape. Jesus was tempted in every way just as you are. He overcame by the same power that is readily available to you. He has been where you are. He has already blazed the trail. Satan will try to persuade you to do wrong. To be tempted is not sin. Praise God for your temptation because trial in life burn away the dross revealing the pure gold underneath.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:12
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart 2 Timothy 2:2
Immerse yourself in the word of God. Surround yourself with Godly people. Pray without ceasing. Serve others cheerfully.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil 4:8

Remember that the Lord does not lead us into temptation, but delivers us from evil (or the evil one as some versions say.) Matthew 10 (?) The Lords Prayer.
Look through the Psalms. There is plenty there to pray through.
Finally, it would be wise to either find another way to walk, or ask other believers to walk with you.
If he is interested... then maybe you can share Christ with him.

Avoid temptation...flee from it, the Bible says. You may like this boy now but it could lead to many heartaches and wrong decisions down the road. The Bible says that we should not be "unequally yoked"...that is, to be joined with someone who does not share our beliefs. A life with a partner with the same goals and beliefs is far more productive, beneficial and long lasting. You must find enough strength to say no to temptations and truly repent. God's Word will help you find that strength. Trust in Him, for He knows what's best for you.

i am thinking of II timothy ch. 3-6 "for of this sort are they wich creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts;" if you wish to get this thing off your back this may help.
matthew 12-29 "or how can one enter into a strongmans house,and spoil his goods,except he first bind the strong man? the he will spoil his house." this is a parable on dealing with demons i think. you have a strong will to ask for help but to break the cycle of events that causes your "temptation" it would make sence to me that you will need an event to take place that will fix a barrier between you and the apple of your eye(the boy). i suggest you read the whole chapter this may reveal more to you.
try to keep in mind that he is most likley not aware of the fear of demons and how we can possibly be affected by spiritual beings therfore to consider him anythimg other than a victim of circumstance may be more than he deserves.
may the prince of peace guide your steps little sister.

Try proverbs 4:14-15. There are a lot of good verses in psalms. And you need to stay away from this boy, try not to look his way and just pray for him. And pray to God to give you strength and the wisdom you need to fight this temptation.

I believe in the word. The fact that you are attracted to "bad boys" shows another underlying issue in this equation. Realize that first, find the problem(you probably don't have to search too much), and let god lead you through it.
