I've liked this guy for a long time, and I can't tell if he likes me or not. A while ago I told him I liked him and he said he didn't want a GF at the time. I still wanted to be with him, so I managed to become his friend. We used to talk for hours online, go to the movies, and we even hung out at my house alone one time. I don't understand, what happened? Things have changed so much over the past few months. I used to think he liked me more than a friend (he was the one who showed interest in me before I even knew him). Nowadays he seems upset when he sees me. No so much annoyance, but almost sadness. I don't know, maybe I'm overanalyzing things (I do that quite often when I'm crazy about someone) but I'm positive that things have changed drastically. Now when I ask him to do things he either doesn't get back to me, or has to work. It hurts really bad because I like him so much, and I thought he liked me too. How can you just stop liking someone? I still catch him looking at me sometimes, but it's so different now. I'd appreciate any advice ya'll could give. Thanks so much!!!

It's great sometimes getting that fluttery and wild about a person, but it's also a challenge to your willpower. See, this may not sound PC but....relationships have a lot to do with power. The chase. The tease. Relax if you can. This is the fun part.
I'll bet the boy is scared. Relationships are so much pressure when they don't happen naturally. There's no need to try and get over him yet (and that IS hard to do, and that's for another column.) The important thing is to be LIGHT. Invite him out on little adventures you come up with. Be his friend, but be a bit of a mystery, a flirt. Don't bring up your feelings for each other. At the right time, some crazy moment you won't be able to plan for, it'll take care of itself.
Listen, do this and you have it made. Guys are scared of girls. Really, it's true. Good luck!
