Hey people! As a massive overthinker, I could use some friendly advice right now. So basically... I went to the wedding of one of my mom's close friends, and then afterwards at the reception, a boy slipped his number on a napkin onto my chair. I knew it was him immediately because he kept staring at me all through the reception, but I kind of thought I was just being delusional at first. But then he moved from the table he was sitting at and sat at the table right dead center in front of mine, then when I tried to look at him to see if he was actually looking at me, he smiled at me.
I was sitting beside my parents, so I told them and was like ''Oh my gosh, someone just slipped me their number'' and they asked who it was, and I told them I was pretty sure it was him because he was staring the whole time. My mom made it a whole scene and went and told his parents, and pretty much everyone there that he gave me his number. I was honestly very flattered and thought it was a sweet and cute gesture, but it was kind of just funny because he looked a whole lot younger than me. After my mom further prying his dad, turned out he was 14. I'm 16, so although I found it so cute, I just feel uncomfortable with that age difference even though it's only 2 years.
Later on, he even came over and said hi to me, but I felt shy and awkward and didn't know what to say, and plus my mom was just standing beside me. I was still trying to think of what to say, and then my mom chimes in and is like ''She's shy! But she'll maybe shoot you a text.'' And he said ''I am too'' and just walked away really fast without ever making eye contact once. I introduced myself and shook his hand and everything. When leaving I just waved bye to him.
I've been back from the reception for hours now, and I'm still not sure if I should at least send a text just to be nice. But I am definitely not interested in him in that way because he just looks so tiny to me, and we can't be friends for obvious reasons. But now I feel like a jerk, and I hope I didn't hurt his feelings. I felt like I should've at least said SOMETHING to him when he came up to me. Plus, it's probably going to be so awkward at future cookouts and stuff now, because he's the son of my mom's friend's brother, ( Sorry that was a mouth full.) so, he's definitely going to be at all the events. It feels too late to send a text, but now I feel bad, and he probably thinks I'm a jerk and just major rejected him now. Help.

Camping items advice
Hi im going camping in a couple days, ive already got the essentials but im wondering what else I could use. Ive never camped before so advice would be nice....
Ohk so I think you should definitely text him .. I am sure he won't ask you why you didn't text him earlier but if he does just make up some excuse ... Also try talking casually and if he says he likes you or anything like that just decline it kindly .. maybe something like I am really flattered that you feel this way but I am sorry I do not feel the same to me you are like my lil bro or anything like that would do ... that way it will not be weird for you in future, because am pretty sure he won't bother you after that... also that way you won't seem like a rude person either because you atleast texted hum back ... just gather the courage and send hi ..
I hope it goes well for you 💜
