I need some help! so today, since my mom is a teacher, I went with her to her school after my exam and I went outside for a while and some gr 8's were out there (i'm gr 9) &a girl from my soccer team was there&there was this guy who used to go to my old school in like gr 2 but moved& now hes like super cute & tall & I got talking to him & it was totally un-awkward and I think I might like him...and it was really nice because he was genuinely interested in me, and my friend from soccer says she thinks he likes me, and she asked him and he didn't reply (?!) but he is younger, what are your thoughts on liking/possibly-in-the-future dating a younger guy? I just have a really happy feeling inside of me & I can't stop thinking about him! also I won't see him for like the whole summer until he comes to high school, what if he forgets about me and finds someone else? Any tips and advice would be great! thanks soosososo much!

Hey babe, one grade of difference isn't much. It's not usually the guy that's younger, but that's not unheard of. If he's mature enough, then why not date him? And for this summer, you have a few options. First, you can see if your friend could arrange a group hangout so you can see him and chat him up. Second, you could get your friend to give him your number and see if you guys can connect that way. Or third, you can just wait it out and see how things go this fall. He's probably not gonna go gettin' a gf the summer before high school. Most people like to wait 'til after they start, just in case there's a new face that snags their attention. So if you don't wanna force something over the summer, you should still be safe.
