I am a relatively young man, and I have a dear friend who means the world to me.
She is the sweetest person I've known.
I made my feelings known to her, and she said she is feeling iffy about our nine year age difference.
She and I became even closer friends after I told her how I felt about her, but I sometimes feel misserable wishing she and I could be making out and even a pair of snuggle bears for the cold winter ahead.
What shall a nice guy like me do? I'm 31, she's 22.

Sunshine answered Saturday August 21 2004, 4:38 am: When you're an adult 9 years isn't really a big deal. I think you should be careful not to push to hard to take your relationship to the next level, because you don't want to push her away. Since you said that ya'll have become closer since you revealed your true feelings, I think she shares your feelings, but she's not ready to admit it yet. Just continue to be a good friend to her, and give her time to accept her feelings. It's always risky to take friendship to the next level, because there's always the chance that it won't work out. That's probably what's holding her back. Just be patient, and eventually she'll come around.
