Okay, firstly, you say you "think" he doesn't like you more than a friend.
Would you feel better if you asked him and he turned you down (if he did) or not ask at all and never know the answer you would receive?
I think you should tell at least one of your closest friends. It's always good to get things off your chest and have a little natter about boys you like. Also, she may be able to help you and find out if he's interested or not.
If you can't stop thinking about him, you have to help yourself in some way. The last thing you want to do is cut yourself away from reality and live in some dream world thinking about him. It'll make you feel worse.
Get out and see your friends more. I know you might not feel like it, but it will honestly help.
Within time, you'll realize you might not like him afterall, or someone else may come along that sweeps you off your feet.
Everyone goes through this, so you shouldn't feel the need to be depressed about it. You're a teen. It's normal!
I wish you the best of luck. You can either get out and try to get him, or get out to take him off your mind. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
