Just make sure you don t put yourself in compromising positions. Be very careful. It also depends on the person s age and their development cognitively, emotionally, and physically, as well as your relationship with their parents. That s not always easy. But such an issue has the potential to blow up in their faces.
Guys tend to be really dumb about that stuff.
You can mishandle crushes unless you recognize them and try to deal with them very carefully, very delicately, and with great discernment. I think when you know a teen has a crush, you need to let as many people know about it as possible to protect yourself. For instance this girl had a crush on me just because I took an interest in her. I made sure that I was always with her where everybody could see us. She started writing to me and that was fine.
