Hopeless.
I used to be great friends with this guy John* who goes to a different school then me. (He goes to the Catholic school in our neighborhood, from which I have a lot of friends there.) Last year, me and him used to talk all the time. It was great. Plus, I really liked John* and I thought he had some feelings for me too. I was coming up with the courage to ask him out or anything, and then decided I was going to do it right when I came back from sleepaway camp, which was only a week long. I get back from sleepaway camp and find out that he's going out with this girl, who I know very well and I'm friends with. (Not anymore.) I was devastated! I still talked to him when they were together (about 5 months) but things were different. About 6 months ago I started talking to him, it wasn't the same but we still talked. Now, he has a girlfriend, and everytime I IM him he ignores me. Or, when he does answer it's just like one of those GAY conversations. I can't remember the last time I had a decent conversation with him, ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO START ONE! He knows I like him, but the thing is I'm really pathetic cause I barely know him anymore, and I don't talk to him anymore. =( PLEASE HELP! I rate 5's for good, QUICK answers.

Dear Hopeless,
When you meet someone who's on the same page as you, you'll know it! I know it's hard to let go of someone you really like, but remember John made absolutely no effort to continue your friendship once he started dating your friend. As difficult as this is, you might as well face it, he's not interested!
To that point, it's never worth selling yourself short for someone who's cute, popular, funny, or whatever; those qualities are meaningless unless he treats you with respect and values your feelings. Remember, you deserve to be with someone who appreciates you.
Hang in there because you will eventually meet someone who'll see you as the warm, caring person that you are! Until then, focus on developing those qualities that make you feel good about yourself.
I wish you well.
Take Care,
Earth Mother
