The thing with adolescent lions is that they sometimes find it awkward if they know you like them.

Sometimes they don't find it awkward.

I just give the guy I really really like some time. If you give them time maybe things will change. It worked for me. In 5th Grade the guy hated me and now we're really good friends!

(Yes, I'm 13, I was just held back a year for some apparent reason.)

So maybe you should just give the guys time. Things could change and turn for better!

Wow, never knew I knew so much about this...
