I'm 13/f. I just discovered that the person I have had a huge crush on for two years (he's really cool; the smartest kid in the grade and he's really nice and he's my only guy friend) doesn't like me back. I feel awful. He doesn't know. Is there anything I can do? How can I deal with this? Should I try to stop liking him and move on? Please I know that a 13-year-old's problems aren't as important to you as an older person, but still it would be really really nice if someone could help me.
Additional info, added Tuesday August 2 2005, 10:00 pm: whoops I forgot to mention....I meant that he likes someone else, this girl that I really don't like. And that I'm a totally unpopular loner who's laughed at by other guys and has only one guy friend and there's nobody else out there for me because he's the only person that's my friend....

I know it's hard but.. you think about it after a while, and you figure hey.. Why should he ruin my life? Why should I spend my time thinking about it and torturing myself with a stupid hope that's never coming true. There will be other guys, there will be other people.. You aren't even in highschool yet. I feel for ya though.. My advice is, that you should try and move on, if he doesn't like you back, you're just dragging yourself in the mud. Hope I helped you.. :)
Shelly_x answered Saturday July 30 2005, 1:28 pm: I think that you should try to move on. Talk to your friend about it and he will listen to you. just try not to think about him i know it will be hard but just try. You will probably still like him deep down but not as much. try and focus on something else like your friend or a hobby. A 13 years olds problems are just as important as a older persons problems.

Augustchick6 answered Saturday July 30 2005, 12:53 pm: Well, your probably gunna want to try to find someone else.I've been through the same thing and i was sooo upset.But then i realized there are alot of other people out there and that eventually i could find someone else.I'm still ooking but i know someday i will meet someone special.Also even though you are only 13 you still matter.Every person matters even if they are only 13 or even 3 at that.so my best advice is just try to find someone else.still stay close to ur guy friend cuz even though he's not interested in you,you can still be friends.but mostly just try to find someone else because i know you will!good luck and please rate my advice!
rikatree2375 answered Saturday July 30 2005, 12:40 pm: I know a lot of people who went through the exactly same thing. (and you're still important even at 13) For now, just keep talking to him and drop hints that you're interested. He might catch the hint and think twice about you. But if he doesn't get it, you might just need to move on. One of my friends thought she could never move on and like a month later she had met somebody else and now they're together. So stuff like that really does happen. Just keep your hopes up and don't rush anything because you're young and have a lot of time for this kind of stuff!!!
LoveNJstyle answered Saturday July 30 2005, 12:28 pm: aww, yes they are important! i had a situation like this when i was 13. its ok, dont put all your self-worth into whether he likes you back or not. really, you still have time. it may be that he really isnt into girls yet (ive met 15 yr. olds that are this way) or doesnt want to have a gf. its really ok, you'll find someone else, trust me! try to move on...it will take time but it will be worth it. maybe someday when your older (i sound like a parent, im sorry!) you guys can get together. keep him as a friend tho, guy friends are better than bfs, seriously! keep ya head up! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
LlYySsAa answered Saturday July 30 2005, 12:23 pm: I have the exact same problem as you. Just keep on going as friends and he'll eventually see what he's missing out on! Just remember if he doesn't like you there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Hope this helps!!!
23xoTinkerBelleox32 answered Saturday July 30 2005, 12:17 pm: aww...honey, 13 year olds are just as important as anyone else!
I've been in this situation when i was younger, yes doll, i have and it is so not a good feeling, i know.
Don't dwell on the fact that that one boy doesn't like you, because i'm sure others do. Its very hard to move on, but try and find another boy that you might like, and you know what...? if ya don't go on likeing that boy, or just be totally and completely single!
You could always tell him, to see if maybe he does like you, and it was a lie, but that might be a bad idea. go with your heart, and do what it tells you (but also always use ur brain haha).
well dollface, good luck! i'm so very sorry!
hope i helped --- ask me if you need anymore help!
