Answer
Hello Morgan,

All I can really say is just be yourself.

When you are young sometimes you are called a tomboy when you are just adventurous or athletic.

A girl can be feminine and athletic at the same time.

Your friend Matt may like you as a friend there is nothing wrong with that.

You can't act differently than you normally do just to impress someone you have to be yourself.

Matt may not be looking at girls in a romantic way right now he may just be wanting to have friends....
