Two Scenarios

[JonahIzPotato]

Two scenarios:
If I like a girl, but she's straight, should I never tell her I like her?
And:
If I like a girl, and she's gay, but she'sa junior and I'm just a freshman... is she too much older? Should I tell her I like her?

i used to be straight and my bi friend told me that she liked me. it was nice to know this because, it answered a lot of questions about her recent bahavior and it made me more careful of her feelings. however everyone is different and she might take it in a negative way. up to you.
i don't think age matters. If it doesn't seem awkward to you, then yeah do tell her.

Scenario the first: Honestly, I've gone both routes, and regretted both. There's been a guy I didn't tell because I was /sure/ he was straight, and then found out later that the reason he was hanging out with me so much was because he had a crush on me (though he still identifies as straight). I've also told my best friend that I had a crush on him, and not only been very rudely rejected, but lost a good friend for about 6 months until he could come to terms with my sexuality.

Second Scenario: I'm from Canada, so I'm pretty sure that that's 11th/9th grades, right? I've known two couples that were seniors/freshmen. It depends on how you both feel about it (and, of course, each other), and you'll likely draw a few extra stares because of the age difference, but two years really is just a drop in the pond when you like someone. =]

First: it depends. How close are you to this girl? What do you think she'll say if you tell her? You have to figure out how much you have to lose/gain by telling her (and how much you're willing to risk), and what exactly you're hoping to achieve.
I've been there, not knowing whether to tell someone or not. In the end I did, and kind of regretted it, but different people, different situation, so who knows how it'll go?

Second: I'm not too sure of the age gap there (being from the Land Down Under lol), but I think that if you really like her, you should tell her; and chances are if you're both right for each other, the age won't make a difference. Some people might make a fuss about it, sure, but hey, it's your decision, right?

Good luck, with whatever you choose to do.

To you people from foreign lands (lol), that's an 11th grader and I'm in ninth grade. So I'm fourteen and she's about sixteen.

first one: personally no, i wouldn't tell her. you could try flirting with her and see how she reacts. but i wouldn't outright say 'i like you' cos if she's straight [and definitely straight] then she may be a little weirded out and it might compromise your friendship. as for the second scenario, no i don't think she's too old for you. if you like her, and she's into girls then i don't see why you shouldn't tell her you like her or at least flirt with her and get to know her more. see how it goes!

Thank you for that.
Well, that age difference doesn't seem so bad to me. I was thinking like thirteen and seventeen or something lol.
But fourteen and sixteen is only two years, which isn't really much when you think about it.

Well you never know for sure if the girl is straight. And age is just a number im some cases. A 2 or 3 year age difference shouldnt be much of a problem
