Is it normal to have you girls like you

Hi Im 18 years old and currently a helper at a club with young people in it but recently there has been a girl that joined (she is 8 years old), now when she joined she was like the test of the kids happy cheerful and sometimes sad, it has been a few months now since she joined and I have seen that she has taken a real liking to me and as an hero but as someone she likes, we want on a day out on a hike and when we stopped for a break she sat beside me and then lied down on my legs and was "playing with me"(not in a sexual way) and she was being lovey dovey with me on the way back to the bus.
Is this normal? And if not then can you please tell me what is going on and what I should do.

    What worries me is that you paid much attention to it.

    Are you out of your cotton picking mind? You should NEVER be alone with an 8 year old girl, who is not a relative. It really does not matter what is going on in her mind; you are playing with a life sentence as a child molester, even if you don't do anything wrong, in your mind. Caution here friend, things could go south very, very quickly.

      Its obvious the girl has a little kid crush on him, it not like he is doing anything wrong.

      He just trying not to hurt her feelings but putting up with a little extra attention. i dont see any malicious intent here

        I can see, and Im sure thegypsysailor can as well, that theres no malicious intent, but the fact remains that if he isnt related to the child then he shouldnt be spending any alone time with her, for his own sake. People mistake normal actions for malicious ones all the time. Im sure he doesnt want police getting involved because someone saw him with a young kid acting so lovey with him, or accidentally pissing off the kid and having her tell lies about him. If anything he should have another adult or older kids with him as well to make sure that he has his ass covered. I think that this is what thegypsysailor was trying to get at.

            If you were with a group of people then thats a different thing all-together. If others see that nothing inappropraite is going on, and can back you up on that, then there should be nothing wrong with it.

        I did not mean to imply that he was doing something wrong, but that won't matter if things are misinterpreted by another party.

        I don't think it would be that shocking to learn that boys and girls become curious about their body at such an early age, but to engage another person, especially someone older with it? I would say that is probably uncommon.

        Now, are you sure you didn't catch feelings of your own from this incident that you are afraid to admit? Are you worried that you may have a problem?

        I ask because the situation you described, most people probably wouldn't think twice about it. You on the other hand have held on to ponder, as if it struck an emotional or physical nerve?

            In that case I wouldn't worry about it if I was you.

  • So a young kid wants to be your buddy? That's fine.

    But I'm curious as to how you feel about her; do you have any real desire to reciprocate to her affections, or is she just "some kid" to you?

    Regardless, what Gypsy said.

    It's like how some kids love their teachers... It's normal.

    Just don't do anything more than that, so she would stop soon. If you don't do anything, she may lose intrest easily.

    If she says that she loves you, say this, "Aww! That's cute! And someday I bet you would meet a nice guy!" ...I learnt that from Pokemon.
