right thing = hardest thing.


Question Posted Sunday May 21 2006, 6:15 pm

I can't help liking this girl even though there's all these reasons I shouldn't. I'm going to graduate next year and she's a year younger so she'll still be in high school; she knows I like her and specifically told me that she doesn't like me the same way; we talk a lot on a personal one-on-one level, but when there are others around she hardly pays attention to me. Recently, it seems things are becoming more awkward between us - we talk less and I feel like she's putting up a barrier.

My question is two-fold:
- I know I should probably give up on her, but I want to at least remain friends - is that too much to ask?
- I don't know exactly HOW to stop liking her and wanting her to like me in a more-than-friends manner.

Ok this question has many ways dat it can go. You know what to do its just you dont want it to happen that way.To answer your first question,no its not dat at hard to ask for. You should tell her when you have your one-on-one conversations dat you understand dat she doesnt wanna commit and you would be happy just being friends. She would den understand where you coming from and either tell you whats on her mind or why she is acting that way.She may be feeling dat way because your older den her and dat may scare her dat if she commits you will end up leaving her. Next question, it may take awhile to stop liking her because it doesnt happen with a click of a button. Try to find other gurls dat you feel da same about. Hey your going to college, there's plenty of gurls to match up with. But if you wanther to like you more than a friend just keep being a nice and respectful and she would turn around.

wanting to remain friends with her isn't too much to ask for. Maybe shes afraid of the fact that you like her which is why she avoids you and things get awkward. It's always hard to give up on someone you like; but it's sometimes best to do it.
Try to hang out with other people than this girl and put some space between you guys. Dont talk to her one-on-one if it just gets awkward. Figure out what you like about her and see if other girls have it too. After all, she isn't the only girl out there. If she doesnt want to remain good friends with you, why bother trying? Maybe it's the fact that she doesnt want you to like her that causes her to avoid you. Try talking to her about it and if things get too awkward, try to spend some time away from the girl. besides, with graduation, you have a better chance of finding other girls to like and maybe you'll find someone else in college.

if im incoherent or not helping, feel free to send me a message! i hope things work out for you.
