He's hot, I'm... well, not?

Keep on talking to him and invite him to a social event in your home, neighborhood,or school. Stop worrying about the other girl and her mom who are throwing hints at this boy to snag his attention. Girls who are too eager and run after males are turn offs because they are often perceived as being too clingy. If he is already interested in you, you have the advantage. Sometimes too much face-to-face familiarity is detrimental to a budding romance. Talk to your mom. She may be willing to help you too.
