Um.

Grow up.

Is all I can say.

You're thirteen, for christ sakes.

I can't see any problem - there's nothing that you've said that indicates behaviour or emotions outside the usual spectrum that appear in such situations. What sort of help were you hoping to get? Affirmation of the correctness of your emotional response is the best that I can give you.

Dude if you dont want a girlfriend before university, then be yourself. Dont try to be a gangster or cool just because everyone else is, its my best advice. Just try not to act stupid or childish, girls dont like that. Watch if you be yourself and act straight girls will get hooked.

I did that once. I asked my best friend and then we just stayed friends. I was a bit sad but now I have a different girlfriend. I felt a bit like you did but I got over it soon.

It's because you told her, it'll pass. It's a somewhat psychological reaction to sharing your secret with someone.

All I can say is I probably wouldn't have had the guts to do what you did, and just pretend nothing happened between you two, it should pass.

i think you are really brave and honest and you SHOULD be proud of yourself . i think its natural that you feel that way because you just opened up to your friend and showed her your true emotions. you took off your defenses to do that and this is why you feel that way. because everything is fine and you are still friends it will just take some time to feel normal again. (and in your case i dontt hink it will take that long) good luck

Dude, you've hit puberty, thats all. Nothing to be afraid of. You'll experience all kinds of weird feeling in weird times. You should actually feel really proud of yourself for being brave to say that.

Grow a pair.

Just kidding, Don't worry, I felt like this when I told my ex I liked her. It'll pass.

Just try to do things that will distract you if you feel sad or something. Also talking (i know boys doesn't do that often) could help

but why have do you have to feel embarrassed? Are you scared your best friend thinks all the time omg he wants me! I need to get away or something?

As you said, it was brave you told her and she just needs to accept it, if she's a good friend, that won't be problem. But really, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!
