I'm 13 years old. I recently became pen pals with a guy my age who lives in England, I live in the US. I really like him, but I don't know how to tell him, or if I even should. If he doesn't feel the same way, I don't want to chance our friendship. What do I do?
mooch789 answered Sunday July 17 2005, 1:59 am: Just tell him how you feel in your next letter and ask if he feels the same way. If not, just stay friends with him and see what will happen. [ mooch789's advice column | Ask mooch789 A Question ]
MELiixMARiiE answered Friday July 15 2005, 6:55 pm: Well I mean, what are the chances of you guys having a real relationship whenever you guys are a COUNTRY away? I mean people think that they can't trust eachother whenever they are 30 minutes away, but a whole nother country? I think it'd be best just to stay friends for now, but then talk about possibly visiting eachother some time over the summer ( and soon cause it's almost over! =( ..) and then if you guys feel like you like eachother, maybe talk about visiting eachother more and stuff and let him know how you feel. I know, nobody can deny a british man. They're too sexy.. =) ( *cough* Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter *cough* lol ) =) now HE'S hawt. lol I hope I helped!!
DistilledAnachronism answered Friday July 15 2005, 2:03 pm: British, eh?
I don't blame you. Brits are sexy. :)
I'd say plan to meet some day, then be with him personally and see how you feel. People can be quite different in writing than in person, believe me. But don't tell him now, it spells trouble for your friendship! [ DistilledAnachronism's advice column | Ask DistilledAnachronism A Question ]
karenR answered Friday July 15 2005, 12:31 am: You aren't going to have a romance with him being that many miles away. Just be friends. Someday if you ever meet...then you worry about how much you like each other. In the meantime, enjoy your friendship. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Green_Eyed_Brunette_10 answered Friday July 15 2005, 12:23 am: well I think you have to think of the chances of yall even meeting considering he lives in England and you live in the US. If there is a chance that you two would meet up then I suppose you should tell him and if he does turn you down then you can tell him that you would still like to talk and keep the friendship! If he is a decent guy he will want it too! [ Green_Eyed_Brunette_10's advice column | Ask Green_Eyed_Brunette_10 A Question ]
i think you should be straight forward with him and be like ok im really opening up to you here but i like you and tell him the reasons why you like him. and then say if you dont feel the same way about me i dont want this to chance our friendship.
cutie4u1212 answered Friday July 15 2005, 12:12 am: honey let me give you advice to use forever! Dont have long distance relationships! espcially when he's on another contienent! There are pleanty of babes out there hes not the only one. Thats great that you like him but you should stay friends with him because who can have a relationship with someone through the computer or the phone? good luck with everything!

skater_shoes_x3 answered Thursday July 14 2005, 8:28 pm: i would say just tell him. he lives in england. what are the chances of you guys meeting. & who cares if he doesnt like you back, its just a guy single guy in your life out of hundreds!!
xogiggles37xo answered Thursday July 14 2005, 8:18 pm: if your saying your shy about it... he lives in england if anything you can stop talking to him or something. if you dont want it to change your friendship, before you poor out your feelings make sure to say you dont want what im about to say to change our friendship.

X0C0URT answered Thursday July 14 2005, 6:14 pm: Since you live so far apart, there's really nothing you can do. Plus you've never met him in person. For all you know he could be completely different than what he says on paper. The best advice I can give you is to just stay friends and focus on guys near you that you know well.
jcsgrlthe1st answered Thursday July 14 2005, 6:02 pm: well theres not much that can happen other then him saying he doesnt like you...but you are in a different country! so i dont think it would matter...

charmed3fanatic answered Thursday July 14 2005, 4:42 pm: tell him.. if he doesn't feel the same way then it wasn't meant to be you know?.. if he is a true friend you telling him your feelings should devour your friendship.. so tell him and hopefully he will feel the same way too =) if you need anything else leave me an inbox.. hope i helped and best of luck!

rockstarxlove answered Thursday July 14 2005, 4:38 pm: Long distance relationships hardly even work. But i guess you could tell him, but you should probably just stay friends with him. Find someone who you know and lives closer to you. Especially since your only 13, you need to see what else is out there.
