I've liked the same guy for months and decided to tell him. He told me that he didn't feel the same but that he didn't want it to affect our friendship. Neither of us has since mentioned the incident. It's like it never happened. That was two weeks ago. Today we were talking with my other friend during class and after class when i was alone with my friend, she said something about the crush. I laughed it off, but it started to hit me. I felt so stupid. How can I still like someone who doesn't care about me? I mean what is the point? I'd like to think I'm so mature about this and that I'm handling it well, but now I'm crying and the fact that I still like him frustrates me. I just want to be friends with him without these silly feelings. What should I do?

You shouldn't feel stupid about the way you feel for someone. You were attracted and nothing is wrong with that. The point is that your heart was telling you something and you listened to it. You should always listen to your heart. Just because one incident didn't work out doesn't mean you should ever give up on love or life. It frustrates you because you haven't got over the thought of him as more than a friend yet. It is alright to have feelings for him and alright to think about him. When you are with him, let him know he gives you butterflies. I'm sure he will be more comforting if he knows how you are feeling right now. The more time you spend with him and be yourself without thinking too much, the more you will be able to get rid of the silly feelings. You won't always be able to brush them off, but those feelings can be what will keep you friends longer <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
