Your Occupying Romances (Crushes!)

What you should understand is that this girl will most likely not grow up to match your fantasy of what she will be, or what your future romance might be like.

She's going to go through many physical, mental and emotional changes, because she's still right smack in the middle of adolescence. By the time she's old enough to date, a lot of those qualities that you're admiring now may have changed, or disappeared altogeher.

In that case, why even pin your hopes on her? Wouldn't it be better to find someone else closer to your age to share these feelings with?

And by the way, I'm curious -- how would you feel if she finds a boyfriend closer to her age? It's very possible, y'know.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
