I know I'm only a junior in high school, and I'm still young. But I know this happens to a lot of people. I have really loved my close friend for the longest time. He's sweet and funny and easy to talk to. But he's confused between two other girls. One has been changing her mind on whether she likes him, and the other is older and kind of not interested. But were all friends with each other. He always comes to me on advice on whom he should go after, but I just want to shout "I'm right here, I'm always here, I would never change my mind about you." But I know he'll never see me that way. It's so frustrating because I think he knows I like him too. How do I get him to see me like that?

Sometimes people think you might like them but they aren't sure so they shut their feelings for you off, sometimes you may think that they know you like them and they actually don't, you are just reading their expressions wrong because of your perspective. You can't make him like you in that way, but you can let him know how you feel (at this risk of things becoming awkward) and just trust that your friendship is strong enough to get through that. You can continue to be there as his friend, and if you are supposed to be together you and him will have feelings for each other and be available at the same time. But someone needs to say something. Someone needs to say you know I think you are cute or I kind of like you or would you ever date someone like me or something and really get some solid answers cause right now it's just a whole lot of trying to read expressions. And it's really hard with guys sometimes to tell when they like you or they care about you cause they tend to treat their friends that they really care about (female) the same as they would treat their sister or a girlfriend. So grab your "balls" and get past the fear, and say "so and so, I have liked you since the 5th grade or something and maybe you don't like me back, that's ok but I had to let you know cause you are looking at all these other girls and I really like you and want to be with you" and just be ready for him to say either sorry but i don't see you like that or oh my god I've been waiting to hear that from you cause i've been liking you since the 5th grade too! haha You just don't know. Ok so hope you make a solid decision. Peace. [ asknava's advice column | Ask asknava A Question ]
