This doesn't seem like love to me. This interest seems to be more of an infatuation since she's the only girl thats really ever paid attention to you (ie. your birthday).
"Love" is so easily thrown around when your in your teens. Its absolutly crazy! This is the time in your life where you experiment. Go out with girls you like and see what personality types fit you best.
Yes, you are more muture for your age. I was similar to you in highschool. Although, my school was more diverse with different personality types. BUT, sometimes those girls that seem all "stuck up" on the outside are alot different when it comes to being with someone they care about. So, you can't always judge a book by its cover.
Evil School!!
May not be on LF as much, due to unforeseen circumstances.
Blame College and Homework for Everything!!
