Ok I think the thing to do is just keep my big nose out but wanted advice....
DS is only 8, he has been friends with a little girl in his school since they were new entrants together. Not really a close friendship but somewhat of a one sided idol worship. He has always talked of her as the one who he will marry.
Today he said this..."When people ask Y, she says we are friends and I said is she just shy to tell them we love each other and she said yes. That means she is a bit like me I think and I love her even more"
My concern is she is rather shy and would not have the courage to say anything to DS if she doesn't actually like him. She has never given any indication she is even more than friendly (she doesn't ask for play after school, doesn't seem to seek out his company etc. She is really lovely though and would never tell ds to go away.
Anyway I know at this age it is actually nothing more than a wee crush but I am worried that she may actually start to feel really uncomfortable about the whole situation and also that if anyone told ds that maybe she is just friendly but not actually his sole mate he may be somewhat destroyed.
