I'm 16/f and my friend is 16/m. He hangs out with me everynight, and I see him every morning before school. Do you think I should just not answer his calls and kind of avoid him for a couple days? I'm not mad or anything, I just want to see how many times he'll call & what not. Is this a bad idea? I just want to see if he'll think about me more, once he realizes he hasn't seen/talked to me in awhile.

LadyH answered Thursday March 8 2007, 9:43 pm: What kind of outcome are you looking for? Are you trying to boost your self esteem in someway? If not & he does end up worrying about you, what good did it do? I don't think it's a good idea to play mind games with your friends - or anyone for that matter. If you have a good reason to take a break from your friend (ex: you spend too much time together & need your alone time), then that's fine to back off a bit. But it'd be respectful if you talked to your guy friend & made him aware of the changes. If you suddenly start ignoring him, not only is it rude, but he's going to think something is wrong - which might cause an argument. Be a good friend & don't avoid him. If you really want to know how much he cares about you, ask him yourself. [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]

Would you really want someone doing that to you? Are there really any positive outcomes? You'll make him feel bad, and you'll probably feel bad too.
I think that you need a good boost of self-esteem. You are someone, and you are important, and you don't need someone else to prove that to you. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]
