I work at Tots Unlimited and a 4-year-old boy has a crush on me, weird right? He
goes around telling others that I am his "girlfriend".
and I just play along. What should I do? Also, I am 18 (almost 19) and he is 4.
I wouldn't worry about it too much some kids are just like that. And as for
playing along that's ok I don't think you'll be scarring him for life. I doesn't
sound like he's being totally inappropriate if he's just annoncing that he's
your boyfriend. Some little boys get these kinds of crushes all the time which
only means that there mom's are going to have a lot to deal with when they get
older lol. I'm sure you aren't the first one he's had a crush on and I doubt
that you'll be the last.
My mom's worked at a daycare for 19 years now and she gets that all the time too
(and she's...well, don't reveal a lady's age in public and all, but I'm 25 and,
well, do the math). I get regaled with funny stories every time I call
her.
So if that's all he's saying, just play along- if he starts saying really
"out there" stuff (use your imagination) then you might have to get
stern. But from what you're saying, it sounds pretty harmless
I think all little kids have a crush like that at one point in their little
childhoods. I've been the "boyfriend" of several different little
girls in the 3-6 age range. (And no, that does not say anything about me, except
for that I'm likable to little kids.
)
I actually think it's funny when little kids do that, and at times really cute
too. lol. They don't really understand the real meaning of
"boyfriend," "girlfriend," or "love." But with the
media now a days all a blaze with stories of celebrity couples and the general
pervasiveness of the idea of relationships in society, they think it's just
another fun game.
Lots of kids play house. I've seen several "couples" playing a husband
and wife and they even have doll children. Hehe, I really do think it's rather
cute what they do. Just bubbling with innocence.
Its like the kids way of making a friend with it initially being mutual, kids
don't really have any inhibitions so if he wants to be your friend this is his
way of doing that. He wouldn't really understand the term girlfriend as anyting
other than a frined that is a girl.
as all have said, play alone. his crush will pass with time. if not.............
tell him you already have a boyfriend kids
want to have fun and make a lot friends, this is probable his way of doing that
How cute! ^^ Like what most people here say, just play along. It won't last very
long, and people with common sense will understand that it's not real.
His crush is wrong for sure. One thing that I believe is that the boy may have a
crush on you, but that isn't a real crush if he goes around telling people that
you are his girlfriend. You shouldn't worry, the kid is not smart anouf to know
these kind of things. Unless he REALLY has a crush on you. But he doesn't
because in that post you just really kind of said it yourself even.
u shouldnt worry, it happened before alot of times and in diffirent
situations..i think its rather cute and interesting really , so have fun with ur little boyfriend and kiss him a few (that would make
him happy for years)
Little kids do this all the time. Keep an eye on what he says in the future, but
"boyfriend" "girlfriend" talk from a four-year-old is
harmless. I mean, kids in kindergarten have "boyfriends" and
"girlfriends." Just play along...he'll probably get over it.
lol when I was 15, I volunteered at the Columbus Zoo during their Halloween
celebration, a little boy no older than 6 told me I was very pretty, gave me
some of the candy and he asked me out. I told him no, of course, but it was
still very cute.
just play along, but make sure his mother knows about it. this stuff happens all
the time.
Don't worry about it! I have a step daughter who seemed to develop a crush on
any cute guy that her dad and I worked with! It was just cute and he will grow
out of it! Just Smile and Wave
LOL don't worry about it, you are most likely something like an older sister for
him, nothing more, so behave like his older sister. you do not have to play
along, just be natural for your age (and i dont believe that you would flirt
around with a 4-year-old, now would you?). you certainly have to be above the
situation and show him his borders because he's young. and even if you tell him
that you are not his "girlfriend" you think that a 4-year-old would
remember that after a week? ... seriously ... why do you actually care so much
about him? he's not going to fall into a deep depression, he's 4 years old, tell
him he's to young to be your boyfriend, buy him ice-cream and that's
it.
even if his talk is harmless you do not have to play along with it. he'll still
be your friend because kids do not take this as serious as people in your age so
dont behave like he's 18, there is no reason for it unless you want to fool him
what would be harder to take for a 4 year old than telling him the truth and
still being his older sister you know?
Hummm... *deep contemplation* make a replica of him as a doll, wait til he comes
around, but pretend you didn't notice and beat the doll up full force... saying
things like "I hate you, haiyaaa!" *ka - pow* comes the replicas head
frying into the air...
wow, that's sweet of that litte boy! anyway, i'm sure that sooner or later,
he'll understand what 'girfriend' really means. for the meanwhile, maybe you
could act somewhat sisterly or as a parental/sibling figure! it doesn't hurt!
just... don't delude him too much. x.x
and when he's older, maybe you could explain to him what 'relationships' mean!

Well, you should talk to their parents.
In fact, i wouldnt know what to do!

Aww... How cute!
If there's no harm done just play along.
He'll grow out of it, eventually.
^__^
Thank's for the comments, he did grow out of it so now we are just friends.
It is just a boy, don't pay him attention, kids use to do that when they like someone....but I believe he is only playing with you...
