Ok, so there's this guy who works in my local Dunnes and he is an absolute beaut, but I can't approach him or tell him, because 1 I'm 15 and he's about 18 or 19 and 2, he's probably straight!!! But every time I think about never being able to get with him I get really depressed and angry at myself!!! Any ideas on how to deal with this?? Any ideas welcome!

Maybe just let it go and look for a local lgbt youth group?

Not gonna happen op, best thing to do is let it go, it'll only cause you pain. I know that's easier said than done, I remember what I was like when I was fifteen and had a crush on someone, but from your post it seems you know literally nothing about this person so all you will ever have is an unrealistic fantasy.

Not much point in getting angry with yourself because you can't be with him, best put your energy into something else, ideally finding someone closer to your own age. Three years may not be much of an age gap in the grand scheme of things but eighteen and fifteen are worlds apart in terms of maturity and responsibility. Frankly someone 18/19 was trying to get with a 15 year old would be extremely worrying.

That does make sense thanks very much I'll take that on board!

You find him physically attractive , you don't love him if you don't know his name

A teenage crush. We all had them!

Infatuation can feel like love at your age. Your hormones will calm down by your mid 20s. Part of the pain of growing up I'm afraid.
