I'd like to not announce that my daughter definitely does not have a crush on a boy. And that getting up an hour early does not mean anything, he is just a friend. Even though if you look up DD12 in the dictionary you see a picture of a night owl.
God help me!

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

I've been through 4 DD and crushes. I want to know how daddy is handling it! 
XH was out of the house by the time my kids started crushing on boys, so I missed out on a dad's reaction.
Now the important question..... Is he cute?
I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - UnknownRelationships are like sharing a book, it doesn't work if you're not on the same page.

My DD14 has a BF.
Now they've never been on a date, they've never talked on the phone...I'm not sure they even exchange words at school! They text and so 'are BF/GF' (I talked to his parents and we're all okay with this...it's really pretty much nothing; we check phones, no icky stuff. They are actually quite boring! LOL!).
Sheesh, when I was 14, me and BF passed 'do you like me?' me notes between class & will you be at roller rink Friday type stuff. LOL!
What do we know? To them, we love to do laundry, gripe about chores and makes meals. What could we possibly 'get' about real life stuff like non-crushes?!

If DD15 has had a crush on a boy she hides it well.
She is a freshman in HS and this year a senior was walking her to class and asked her to a dance. She finally told him, "look, I really don't like you like that." He cried. 
She's always kind to everyone she was just nervous and didn't know how to handle it so when she got home and told me about it she cried because she hurt his feelings.
Ah, high school.....I don't miss you at all.

OH Boy.
My DD is 14 and a freshman, and still thinks most boys are stupid. But recently has started commenting on actors that are "cute" or "hot". She also has mentioned an upper classman that is in her choir that she thinks is pretty cute.
She tells me she doesn't have time for that stuff. She is too busy being a good friend and making good grades. We will see......
Now DS, oh geezo.....He is LURRVE. When she breaks up with him it is going to be a disaster.

Reminds me when my dd was about that age she told me she had a bf. I asked "What does that mean? Do you eat lunch together?" Her resonse...
"OMG NO!! That would be embarrassing!" 
Love isn't what you say, it's what you do.
