How can you get a high schooler to like when are in middle school?

You can't force someone to like you, especially someone older who's already in a different stage of life. High schoolers and middle schoolers have vastly different social circles, experiences, and maturity levels. Trying to make a high schooler like you while you're in middle school is likely to be unsuccessful and could even be seen as awkward or inappropriate.

Instead of focusing on getting a specific high schooler to like you, focus on:

* Improving yourself: Work on your own confidence, interests, and friendships within your own age group. Become someone you like and are proud of. This will make you more attractive to anyone, regardless of their age.

* Focusing on your own age group: Make friends and build relationships with people your own age. This is where you'll find the most compatible friendships and relationships.

* Respecting boundaries: Understanding the age difference is crucial. Respect the fact that high schoolers are in a different phase of life and have different priorities.

* Finding common ground: If you happen to share common interests with a high schooler (like a club, activity, or online community), be respectful and friendly, but remember that pursuing a romantic relationship is highly inappropriate and unlikely to work.

In short, the best way to make positive connections is to focus on being a good friend and person to those around you *in your own age group*. Trying to "get" someone older to like you will likely lead to disappointment and frustration.
