about

Hi I'm Chandler!

Among my group of friends I'm often referred to as the 'agony aunt' and to be honest I don't think there's anything between us all that we haven't had to deal with! So now I'm hear to help you! Ill always tell you what I really think - like it or not!!, ill talk about anything and don't mind getting personal but most important I really do care!

So whatever it is... Talk to me!

ok 15/f...if that helps. Ok so one of my best guy friends is like in love with me. I know it, he knows it, the world knows it. I don't like him back. And the world knows that too (including him). I hear everyone saying that he is such a sweet guy and he would do anything for me but I just don't like him. I don't know what to do. He's liked me forever and he can't seem to get over me (sorry if that sounds cocky). I'm not leading him on or playing with his emotions b/c I'm just trying to be his friend. And he complains to everyone about how much he likes me and how I don't like him back and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I've even tried taking a break from him for a while but he's said that he would rather get over me on his own than have us take a break from our friendship. Help?

Thanks.

Hi, well your not doing anything wrong - what you are doing is trying to be a good friend and trying to be honest with him. Situations like this are very difficult. What I would say is this: I've seen more than once really strong, special friendships seriously damaged by the two becoming 'more than friends' people who have been good friends for a long time, friends who are really close have to be very, very careful if they are to become more than that. This isn't the point hear as you don't actually like him in that way but maybe if you explain to him how important your friendship is and how you would never want to do anything to jeopardise that he would understand? Be understanding and caring, he is your friend and this must be very, very hard for him. Also you say 'the world knows it' - well try not to let the whole thing become public knowledge any more than it already is, this is private between you and your friend and it must be hard enough for him as it is (and for you!). He will accept what your saying and move on eventually (honest!)

I have a boyfriend that's 18 who turns 19 in August.And I'm 16 and I turn 17 in October.Would it work out if I was going in Highschool and he went to college in the area.Or do you think he would get tired of me and get someone better who's in college or whatever.Or even I would find someone in highschool.I just want some opinions if you don't mind.

Hi,
Your worried he might find some one else in collage or you might find some one else in high school - well your right that might happen or you may split up for any other reason but that's life and it's the same with every other relationship. If you like each other and if you want to be together you can't let the fear of what 'might' happen stop you! Just have fun and see how things go and you never know he could be 'the one' and if not then so what - plenty fish in the sea!
