Re: What's up with the Big Grim, you ask?
Love need not constitute sex. And is it really love, or an infatuation? Perhaps I'm a bit of a 'spoil sport', but I don't really approve of relationships of teenagers. Their brains at that stage are still developing, and even if they think they can, they might not make the best decisions in said relationships. Besides that, I've seen far too many friendships destroyed over a relationship because priorities get messed up.
If you really believe that you are falling in love, then good for you. It takes a lot of maturity to recognize the emotion in its purest form, and accept that it is indeed what your are feeling. However, this isn't really a type of thing that advice from others will help with. You have to follow your own heart and choose what the best thing to do in your situation is.
I've loved twice, and still care deeply for the people I fell for, but I chose not to divulge my feelings because they were both very close friends, and I didn't want to risk losing that friendship because we were are still teenagers. I am personally waiting until after college to pursue any sort of relationship or act on these emotions in any way, because I don't want to mess things up for myself or any others.
If this girl has an open mind and a good personality, she should have no problem with being told she is cared for, but... Eh, just be careful in the way you go about it. Sorry for being so serious about this, by the way. It's a topic I feel strongly for, as you can see.
