Everyone thinks we should be together.


Question Posted Thursday July 29 2010, 2:33 am

My good friend and I have been friends since third grade. We are now in tenth. He is a boy, I am a girl. Both 15. I love him, he's like a brother to me an I wouldn't ask for him to be any different. Except, everyone thinks we like eachother and need to get together ASAP!! Annoying, much. Especially when you're talking and people walk by saying "ooooh" can a boy and a girl not be friends without being more? I am going to name a few things between us.
1. I literally tell him everything. He tells me some pretty personal things.
2. I bring him in his favorite pack of crackers. Everyday.
3. I apologize to him for dumping all of my problems on him all the time and he tells me he doesn't mind, that he cares about what's bothering me or what's been getting me down.
4. My one "friend" made me cry during a fight through texting. I had texted him after asking him if I am what she called me and he said no way, you don't even need to worry about her. She's stupid and has no right even talking to you.
5. We text. Alot.
6. He is really smart, so whenever I need help, he always helps me with homework or understanding something.
7. We are both in the marching band, during last marching season, we'd pass eachother on the field, look at eachother and smile during set.
8. I usually start our conversations and he usually ends them, so when I end them, I dont think he likes that. So I'll say like oh dinner gtg and he'd be like 'oh. See ya, then..'
9. His friend started the rumor that we like eachother and want to be together after I started giving him his crackers.
10. he'd talk about girls he think are cute and stuff and I would generally seem interested. When I talk about a guy or something he'd be like "oh. He's alright. "
sooooo? You think we like eachother? I know it's not alot but work with it, please! Thank you for all your answers and God bless!

Yes, boys and girls can be friends, in fact, it seems to be much more the case now than in the past.

As you've seen, a lot of people don't get it. It seems that a lot of people can only imagine one kind of love. Another possible problem can be that your closeness may scare away potential dates, but I think that high school dating is way overrated and time spent with friends or in a group are much healthier and more satisifying.

You have lots of years ahead of you when you can decide to figure out if there is a romantic relationship there or not, but there's no clock ticking now. Your friends are hoping there will be a romance they can look in on with front row seats, but that's no reason you have to persue anything. Enjoy what you have for what it is!

I think you might like him, but only you know for sure. I can't tell you how you feel about this boy, because I'm not you. It's obvious that you care deeply about him. My best friend was like this with her now boyfriend. It's been 2 and a half years now since they started going out. You should try to talk to him about it. You guys are so close that he shouldn't mind talking about it and he might want to talk to you about it and is just too shy. Based on the way you talk about him I think you like him. You should go for it, because you'll never know unless you try and you would hate to regret not knowing what would have happened. Good luck!
