Question Posted Wednesday November 29 2006, 7:38 pm
How long do you think you should hold on to a relationship you know will never happen?
Story behind the question:
I've liked this really nice guy for years. He's kind of popular because he's so nice and funny. Seriously, this guy would start a conversation with anyone. Not so many popular girls like him in a love way, but a lot of people from middle-lower to average on the social scale do. (Sorry, I hate when people talk like that, but its the only way I can really describe it.) I'm somewhere between average and popular, but I don't hang out with popular people. So basically, this guy and I used to be pretty good friends, but did nothing outside of school, then we barely talked for a year because we didn't have any classes together. I still hung on, although I went out with other guys. This year I see him again and still have feelings for him. But there are a bunch of other girls that like him. I don't want to ask him out because I'm pretty sure he'll say no. Should I let go? --I've tried this before though, didn't work.
Thanks to all who respond ; I ratee =)

I think i have an idea of what you are going through. This hott, smart, and funny kid i used to hang out with all the time out of school because of our family friends always noticed me and kinda flirted with me when we were together but yet in school he was a grade ahead of me and he sorta ignored me, I think he is that same guy but if he doesnt seem to want to be with me then i got over him because i know there are other fish in the sea. Also i am considered "popular" in my school ( i hate saying that as well) and there is one guy whom a lot of girls averagly love, i like him to but he is just one of my best friends, anywho he doesnt really give many of those girls many thoughts, so i suggest you can hold on to those feelings if he has given any hints to you that he may be interested otherwise you can search for a new guy to put your interest in. Also i understand it may be tough to get rid of your feelings i still have some for the guy i mentioned first, but i still understand that it will most likely stay a fantasy, so go out there and find someone who is worth it!
