Question Posted Saturday November 12 2005, 12:00 pm
Last night, my middle school had a dance. I finally got the courage to ask (let's call him "Will") Will, this guy I've really liked since April of last semester, to slow-dance. Well, the song was really short, and we're fairly good friends (we usually talk most of the time on AIM) so he said to me "Hey, Penelope, can I tell you a secret? I have a huge crush on Catherine." Isn't that awful? I feel terrible. And to top everything off, it's my birthday today too :( Is there anyone I can talk to? Because my friends don't really get it and neither do my parents.

Try writing down just what you think of this whole situation, any ideas you might have, how you feel about Catherine and Will now, what you think you might do, if this is best for everyone, etc. If you've done 'stream of conciousness' before, then it should probably come out like that. Give it structure (paragraphs, dot points) if that's how it comes naturally, but otherwise just write down everything. Don't stop for small spelling mistakes or punctuation either.
Alternatively, you could just try something I do (however unwillingly), which is to more or less have a conversation in your head about the topic bothering you. It tends towards a monologue, but you should just pretend that someone asked you a question about this scenario - "So, how big a crush do you think he has on her?" Then you try and answer it best you can, and work on from there.
Best of luck.
P.S - of course, if this sort of thing seems silly, you can always try talking to people you've met purely online. Assuming their maturity is above the '18 years old' level (actual age aside), they'll have a good chance of understanding. The upside of people met on the internet is that you don't need to have so many inhibitions when talking to them. [ erendor's advice column | Ask erendor A Question ]

But if he likes someone else you can't make him like you unstead. Don't worry there are more guys out there for you. Im sure youll find him soon.
