I've been liking this guy since the beginning of the school year. His name is Matt. At , the beginning it was like a crush, but now... me and him are friends. Were , pretty close. We have been texting a lot recently. Well... I told him I loved him , and he told me he had a girl friend. He said he likes me as a friend nothing more . Well... before I told him that I loved him... I REALLY thought he was interested. He looked at me A LOT during the week. Now , he doesn't. I don't understand that!! Does anyone know why he stopped? Like, I REALLY still like him. Also... just recently I asked him if he thought I was pretty. He said "Yea." Do u think that means ANYTHING?! My friends think that he might be lieing.... what do you think? Should I get over him? I DON'T want to ... I still LOVE him. He's so nice to me. I talk to him at school sometimes.. hardly ... because he's in 8th grade and I am a 7th grader. Do u think that matters?
Well... PLEASE... anyone help!

Looking at someone doesn't mean you like them in THAT way.
Thinking you are pretty doesn't mean he likes you in that way either.
There's also one big problem here - he has a girlfriend. I'm sure he appreciates the courage you made to tell him you like him, but since he's taken (and doesn't seem interested), it's totally best you stop beating yourself up over him and please, move on.

In each one, it has been clear to me that Matt has no romantic feelings towards you. He has rejected your notes, valentine cards, and even a *poem* that you wrote for him. Your persistence is admirable, but if those obvious statements of love don't move him, then nothing will.
No one with any sense of politeness would tell a woman that she is not pretty when asked. His response doesn't mean a thing.
Your friends are fools if they think that this relationship has any future. He has made it *abundantly* clear that he is not interested.
My advice is to discontinue any friendship you have with him. Your friendship only exists because you have a crush on him. Continuing to communicate with him will only prevent you from exploring alternative relationships, and result in more painful emotional problems.
DoveBear9 answered Thursday March 5 2009, 10:29 am: i dont think it should matter that you are in 7th grade and he's in 8th. maybe it might matter to him... i dont know... what grade is hs gf in? It could be that. that matters to some people. he might like you... he said you were pretty, and he likes being with you. But maybe it was because you said that you loved him that got him a little weirded out. Or, if he really only likes you like a friend right now.. then you cant do much about it right now, while he is still with his gf. But if/when you have a chance.. work on him girl... lol .. i think there could be potential to make him think of you as more than a friend.... but i hope things go well for you honey [ DoveBear9's advice column | Ask DoveBear9 A Question ]
