DD is 12,5. She is in Yr 7 and there is this boy who is the same age. He was in her class all the way through her primary and although they were not friends, they obvious knew each other. In the beginning of Yr6, he started to shout of her across the street and waving at her to embarrass her.
This has continued but now he keeps asking her out when he comes across her at school. He waves and smiles but dd ignores him so he does get any reaction from her. When he is with his friends and he does this, his mates do not react so it does not seem like he is making fun off her. He waves at her when he is on his own and hides if he is with his parents and sees her. She thinks he is making fun of her and embarrassed by it.
I think he likes her and I think it is sweet. Obviously she is too young to date but I don't want dd to think she is being teased when I am convinced he is being genuine.
What would you make of it?
AIBU?
AIBU to wonder what is up with dd's classmate?

Oh, it WILL get worse during teenage years! 
Remind her to smile and (wave if she wants) be respectful to people, yet keep her boundaries.
Primary school friend could turn out to be a good friend 10 years down the road. You never know.
Can't she develop some convenient homework or a reason to he just going out when this other boy comes round? It sounds like he's rather possessive of her.
The first lad sounds exactly like DS at the same age - a cross between a big lumbering puppy and wanting to act like he knows how to charm the ladies
