Question Posted Saturday December 11 2004, 11:44 am
ok im a girl who is a junior in high school and i have this friend who is a guy whos a freshmen in college....we'll call him mark...and we are really close, like almost like we're brother/sister...and like we talk about like people we like and everything like that and sometimes i seem to get annoyed because hes in college about 600 miles from where i live(he lives in the same city as me when hes not in college) and the girl he likes is in the city that im in right now. the reason i am getting annoyed is cuz he doesnt want to get over this girl even though there are girls at his college that he says he can see himself dating but he doesnt want to get over the other girl. what should i do?

And eventually it might go away! And you should feel really good, that he can talk to you about this stuff! Cause one day you never know. You could end up being with him, or going through the same thing, and hopefully he will be there helping you through the way, like you did with him. ~ Karah~ [ SeXiELoVeKaKeS69's advice column | Ask SeXiELoVeKaKeS69 A Question ]

If you lived closer I'd say go out with him to take him mind off her but you don't so I'm not really sure what you CAN do! Oh well! I guess it'll just take some time.

There's not much you can do but be a good friend. Encourage him to go out with other girls... Tell him that he's a great guy and he could do better than that girl. Be nice to him... then wait for him to move on. There's nothing you can do to rush the process of moving on. Even if there was, it's not healthy to pressure something like that. Slowly he will move on and he will remember you were the good friend who gave him time and enoursaged him. You'll become better friiends. But he WILL move on... it's natural to have a hard time getting over someone at first.
I am sorry I cannot offer much help. Take good care. ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
