Needing Advice

I need some advice about boys. Ok so about a month ago I went to a new church and a guy asked if he could sit by me, I said yes, since then we have gone to a lot of school functions together, but not really on a date (or at least I'm not sure if they were dates). Like we went to a bon fire and a dance and we always sit together at chruch and stuff. whenever I ask him to sit by me in other places he rolls his eyes and sits with me. we are always talking about going to the movies or going hiking some time but we haven't actually done either yet. I haven't told him I like him yet because he is transfering schools at the end of the semester which is in like a month. I really like him and i think he likes me too :) . This is my first real crush so i don't know how to procede, should i tell him I like him and then have him leave or not tell him. if i do tell him how do i tell him. ugg i wish he would tell me first :P

thanks for the advice

If I were you I would just ask him to go somewhere with you. Maybe to the movies or dinner. I don't really know how old you are. When I was in high school the big thing was to go out for coffee. But then I'm in the Seattle area and coffee is a big thing here.

If you are too nervous to ask him to go with you alone you could invite some other friends of both sexes.

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when testing shows no nerve damage. It’s important to clarify for readers that this type of central sensitization pain is not the same thing as ongoing gluten exposure, particularly when labs, biopsy, and nutritional status are normal. A stocking/glove pattern with normal nerve density points toward a pain-processing disorder rather than active celiac-related injury. Alcohol temporarily dampening symptoms likely reflects its central nervous system depressant effects, not treatment of an underlying gluten issue—and high-dose alcohol is dangerous and not a safe or sustainable strategy. Seeing a pain specialist is absolutely the right next step, and we encourage members to work closely with neurology and pain management rather than assuming hidden gluten exposure when objective testing does not support it.

      There is no credible scientific evidence that standard water filters contain gluten or pose a gluten exposure risk. Gluten is a food protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not used in activated carbon filtration in any meaningful way, and refrigerator or pitcher filters are not designed with food-based binders that would leach gluten into water. AI-generated search summaries are not authoritative sources, and they often speculate without documentation. Major manufacturers design filters for water purification, not food processing, and gluten contamination from a water filter would be extraordinarily unlikely. For people with celiac disease, properly functioning municipal, bottled, filtered, or distilled water is considered gluten-free.

      Bottled water, filtered water, distilled water, and products like Gatorade are naturally gluten-free and do not contain gluten unless contaminated during manufacturing, which would be highly unlikely and subject to labeling laws. Gluten is a protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not present in water, minerals, plastics, phosphates, bicarbonate, or electrolytes. Refrigerator filters and reverse osmosis systems are not sources of gluten, and there is no credible scientific evidence that distilled or purified water triggers celiac reactions. If someone experiences symptoms after drinking a specific product, it is far more likely due to individual sensitivities, anxiety around exposure, or unrelated health factors—not gluten in water.

      Water does not contain gluten--bottled water included. This is an official warning that you'll receive a warning if you continue to push this idea. Gatorade is naturally gluten-free as well, and it's purified water does not include gluten. You can see all sort of junk on the Internet--that does not mean it is true.

      An interesting note (though not something that I recommend) is that in the last couple of winters before this one, I drank tons of alcohol because I found it reveresed the pain substantially. It seemed it muted it, then I stopped worrying about it, and so on, so that it was reversing the sensitization cycle. I mean, strong alcohol. Not a few beers. Talking 25% ABV stuff and well beyond any limit anyone has ever seen. Yes, bad for other reasons. But it was interesting, that even after stopping the alcohol (which I could do overnight, for some reason I don't get dependent) the nerve pain would stay "low" for a while, but then gradually ramp up again to where it was before. Obviously, that's not a long term solution as my liver would probably shrivel up and I'd go broke. So the pain clinic hopefully finds a better way to desensitize the condition.
