Dear Diana,
I'm 14 years old and I fully realise that I'm too young to talk about love and relationships, but at the same time I am head over heels in love with a classmate. I liked him since he joined school in the fifth standard. We are now in the ninth standard. I just can't get over him. As I barely talk to him, I don't know whether he likes me, but I am crazy about him.

Dear Sanaaya,
You have known him since class five, but have not spoken to him yet. All these years you did not muster enough courage to even talk to him. As you are in the same class, there are several common subjects to talk about. At your age, what you are referring to as love is actually an attraction which can also be called crush. First, get to know him through common friends. Be his pal and hang out together. You find him attractive, but once you start talking to him, you will know him and perhaps have a different opinion of him.
