14/f (me) 18/m (him) I've been friends with a guy who is 3 years older than me for about 2 years. When we both met, we both liked each other, but at the time didn't tell each other. Later, we told each other. Sometimes, I start to like him again. It's an on/off again crush. He's going to be a freshman in college and I'm going to be a freshman this year so it's kinda of hard. I want to tell him how I have felt, but now.. he's gotten a girlfriend. Someone I would never have imagined to see him with. And I think I'm jealous. So, my question is, should I tell him all the feelings I have for him, or just give up. What should I do? IMMIEDIATE HELP.
Thanks.

Additional info, added Sunday July 10 2005, 12:34 am: Let me add. I'm still in love with my ex-boyfriend, a great guy... so I don't like the 18 year old. Okay? I did a long time ago.. before i met my last "long" relationship. So I don't like him, especially when I still have feelings for my exboyfriend.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? Xxprettyeyes187xX answered Saturday July 9 2005, 2:33 am: jsut let him go ..hes to old for you anyway..and him being a frestmen in collage is going to allow him to meet more girls his age..say he makes friends at college and they ask him if he has a girlfriend he most likely wont say yea i have a 14yr old girlfriend...and with you being a freshmen in highschool your going to meet a lot of new guys..his hormouns are going to be kicking in (as my mother would say) and you might be pressured into having sex or doing things you dont want to do...
hopefully i helped you [ Xxprettyeyes187xX's advice column | Ask Xxprettyeyes187xX A Question ]

exton answered Saturday July 9 2005, 12:43 am: You could tell him how you feel, but it won't do you much good in terms of results.
The problem, in all honesty, is age. Oh, sure, if someone who is 30 and someone who is 34 date, it's not an issue. But at your age, a different of 4 years means a tremendous difference in intellectual and emotional maturity, because of the rapid changes that occur during puberty. So, although you're attracted to him, and he might be attracted to you, he probably wont be interested in you. And that's a good thing, because anyone his age who is interested in someone your age is bad news.
So, amongst the choices you mentioned, the best one is "just give up." But don't do it in the spirit of defeat; do it knowing that you're avoiding something negative. [ exton's advice column | Ask exton A Question ]
Wishing_on_Stars_x3 answered Friday July 8 2005, 7:45 pm: Well this is a very difficult question but I think that I have an answer. I think that you should tell this guy how you feel. Then you will not have all of your feelings bottled up inside.And if he feels the same way about you then maybe one day you'll be his girlfriend. But if he doesn't feel the same about you then you won't have to keep it inside you wondering what could have happened. [ Wishing_on_Stars_x3's advice column | Ask Wishing_on_Stars_x3 A Question ]
