There's this guy I've liked for a really long time, since the 7th grade (We're in the 9th grade). Let's call him Will. We used to be good friends, and joke around and stuff. But this year, we're in none of the same classes except Science. He's developed many female friends in all of his other classes; the new kids. This is alright, but I sense that we've drawn apart. I mean, we always talk on AIM, but in person he acts kind of bland around me. Have I lost him already, or is there some way that we can be the way we used to? I decided to ask you because you seem to have a sense of these things.

Mackenzie answered Sunday November 6 2005, 6:12 pm: Perhaps you're letting these new female friends of his make you feel inferior, and it shouldn't be that way. You have every right to associate with him just as much as each one of them do. Maybe you're not trying as hard as you used to? I know you mentioned you approach him in school, but.. how often? Do you ever catch him alone? Is there any way you could, like before school maybe? I know I'm not there to actually witness all of this, but my guess is that if he's willing to talk to you on AIM.. he doesn't dislike you in any way, agree? So, you talk to him online, and "try" to talk to him at school. Ever "try" to ask him to hang out? Any excuse you can come up with to hang out should be good, right? Go to the skating rink? Go to a park? Go to a school game or something? Go get ice cream? Go see a movie? Maybe one or two MUTUAL friends could come along with you two. Is that at all possible? Have you even tried that lately? If he says he's busy, then there's nothing wrong with questioning when he WILL be able to hang out. You shouldn't be TOO TOO unfair and expect a date three or four weeks in advance (as things can come up suddenly) but just make shore you send a strong message that you want to spend time with him. Does he even know you feel this way? And would you be against telling him? Perhaps if you make him understand what you're feeling.. he'll realize what he's been ignoring, and will want to change that. (:
