Q: k so, i have been really good friends with this guy since the end of last school year and we have liked eachother on and off through out this time but we have never dated. but recently i told him that i like him. and he told me that he liked me too but didnt want a girlfriend and he told me he felt like a jerk for saying it but he said that he didnt want me to wait around for him because our friendship wont turn into a relationship. and, i mean i really like him. more than ive ever liked anyone and i feel that if we acctually gave eachother a chance we could have something really good and special. theres just times where hes kind of left out and i go over to him and sit with him. and he does the same for me. i don't get it though. if he likes me enough why wont he try us out. but, he said he liked me. but what i dont get is if you like someone enough you would date them. so is he lying or telling me the truth. and lately he hasnt been talking to me in school or on the computer like he usually does. and to tell you the truth, im crushed.i know its not that big of a deal. but, i just really feel as if we would be good for eachither; anytime we talked or hungout we got along really well and the conversation wasnt delayed or anything and hes just a really good person to talk to. he listens and helps me with anything i need.
oh, and sorry that this is soo long.

i don't really have a question but like, i need advice. what do i do how do i found out if hes lying and i just don't know. is there anything i can do to get him to change his mind? :p anything will help.
Okay there could be several things going on in his mind. One could be that he's scared of a relationship, I'm guessing you're in middle or high school, and boys are really unsure for quite awhile about girls in general and how they should act around them. He might be still too immature to want something more than a friendship. You're right, he could be lying about not wanting to be in a relationship because many people use that as an excuse so that they don't hurt your feelings.

I would say lie low, because he knows very well how you feel. Unrequited love sucks, but it happens to everyone. You never know, he could come around. Just be yourself because that's why he loves you as a friend!

thanks.

Hii I'm Mel. I've been through a lot and I've been my own counseler way too many times, so I've basically dissected many situations. You could call me crazy, whatever, we all are. I kind of have a borderline insane interest in the idea of fashion and creativity, and also in the French Revolution. I LOVE music, I could give you the soundtrack of my life for a million dollars. Umm yeah that's it. BY THE WAY, I would very much like to have a line forming all the way outside the funeral home the day of my wake. :)
