Forget rationality.

Inanity is the only way to go.

Okay I am 21/f and I have this friend who used to be so funny. He would have me rolling all the time. So lately he is so not as funny as he used to be but he tries so hard to make me laugh that is actually quite pathetic. And I have been faking the laughs. He can't tell the differemce! He loves it when I am happy. How do I let him know that I love the laughs of the past but he needs to stop trying so hard without hurting his feelings.

Feeling like a bad person :-(

Yikes........how awkward.

If it is really bugging you, and I suspect it is, then you do need to be honest with him. Just try not to be too honest. Have you taken the time to find out what is going on in his head lately? Maybe he isn't quite so funny at the moment because deep down, he isn't very happy. I think you care for your friend, so take the trouble to try and find out if there is something going on. Of course, the problem could be that he likes you more than just a friend and doesn't know how to go the next step with you. If thats the case, I doubt he will tell you whats going on. Moreover, it will probably get worse before it gets better. Watch for signs of that yourself. You should be older enough by now to have a fair idea whether that might be the problem.
