together since.. ever!


Question Posted Monday January 11 2010, 6:27 pm

Me and my best friend have been besties since 3rd grade. I'm 15/f and he's 15/m. I can trust him with my life. He's the sweetest, he makes me happy, he makes me laugh when I'm down and he's just genuine. I can be completely and totally myself around him and I know he likes me for me. He writes songs and he sent me one and it was about love and keeping the one he loves close to him instead of having this distance between them, it was amazing, it gave me chills so I was interested, I asked him who it was about and he replied "i don't write about my own life, it isn't exciting" but I showed a few of my friends and they said it was most definitely positively without a doubt about me. Then again, everyone in the entire school thinks we should date, his friend started a rumor that we love each other so now every time someone sees us together they shout "JUST DATE ALREADY!". Of course that does nothing but embarrass us. My favorite is "everybody in this whole school knows you two have crushes on each other.. except you two". Lately, I've been thinking he has some feelings beyond friendship considering he wasn't going to attend a social gathering until I told him I would really like it if he went and he came after quite a bit of convincing so of course, that started more rumors that he came to be with me and he came to make me happy. We text each other all the time, just talking about random things, life, our instruments, who has the better phone, we never run out of things to talk about. I think it would be really cute if we dated but I value our friendship so much. Just answer me this -> do you think he likes me and if so why? and if you think he does, what should I do to move things forward? Thanks so much! <><

I am a bit confused about why you are so ready to move things forward if he likes you?
First of all, it sounds like you are being pressured a lot by your friends and peers to date. This is not a reason to begin a relationship.
Secondly, If he likes you why should you be the one to move things forward?
Thirdly, you are both so young. Why be in a rush? If you build your friendship now it will make any future romantic relationship stronger, but if you rush into a romantic relationship that you are not ready for it could potentialy damage your friendship.
In my opinion, I think you should enjoy your friendship and not have to worry about the romantic side of it yet. Guys mature more slowly than girls so it is possible that you are ahead of him anyways.
Don't awaken love until it so desires. And do not let yourself be pressured into making the decision by your other friends.
