solidadvice4teens answered Tuesday February 10 2009, 10:26 pm: You say you don't (like him) but deep down you know that's not true. There are lingering feelings there. If he was "just a friend" I doubt you go so far to inquire what to get him either. It's okay to still have those kind of feelings as well as feelings of not liking him simultaneously. It's called hormones and they can be a bitch ;)
What to get him? Well a card expressing how much you appreciate and value his friendship is key. What music, books or other things is he in to? Does he have a hobby where he collects something? Maybe you can find something sports related. Don't make this complicated when it isn't.
You should consult his friends or his mother or sister if he's got one. They'll have ideas. Definitely focus on what he likes and get him something. You can even get him chocolates or a gift card if all else fails.
The major problem in asking us is that we don't know him or your history. I'm sure whatever you can think of will be well received. Try making him dinner or taking him out. Yes, even friends do that as a special thing.
What if he thought you liked him? It wouldn't be that bad and maybe it would turn into something great. You cannot control what people think or like in terms of the gift or the symbolism. If it comes down to a conversation about that let him know what you feel or don't feel. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
