Question Posted Wednesday January 30 2008, 4:55 pm
I am in love with this boy. I am 14/f and dont say im too young to know what love is because i would do anything for him. There is no such thing as being too young to love. Well he is in almost all of my classes in school. We sit near each other in most of them. We always flirt and hang out and are close but no t best friends. Well whenever i look over at him, hes looking at me, and i smile and he smiles back and looks away quickly. Well we are always flirting and everyone always says just go out already and he gets embarrassed and looks down so i am pretty sure he likes me but almost positive he doesnt love me. His name is "CHRIS" btw
His close friend is "SAM" well i am close with him too. Everyone says he likes me because he acts different around me and is always flirting with me and whenever i flirt with the guy i love he gets mad and gives me dirty looks.
I want to tell the guy i love how i feel but i dont want to ruin my relationship with Sam. So i talked to sam about it online once. I said everyone said that you like me bc of the way you act around me. He was like well i dont and got mad and went away like GOD WHATS YOUR PROBLEM I DONT LIKE YOU, NOT EVERYTHINGS ABOUT YOU! and i called him and am like whats wrong? he said you dont care, go hang out with chris and hung up. I think he really likes me, and i dont want to hurt him, but i dont want chris to move on and not like me anymore. What do i do about sam? how can i talk to him when he gets mad at me? And what can i do to make him accept me and chris? and how should i tell chris?
Sorry its so long, and confusing, but thats just how my mind is right now. Thanks sooo much!!
If you are in love with chris, go for it. Life is to short. I understand that this will hurt sam's feelings, but if he is your friend, he will understand.
My friends were in this situation before, you dont want to be the cause of their friendship ruined because you like one and not the other.
Try talking to sam again. Honestly, if he is your friend he will understand you have to do what you have to. It's gonna hurt him, and you just have to give him his space for the time being.
