There's this guy I usually text everyday. We've become really good friends through band. He always made it seem like he liked me. Like, he would tell me that I'm cute and that he loves me and he held my hand and cuddled with me on the bus ride. He even said it was okay that everybody thought we were together. He's really sweet to me. Last week, I was really upset, and I ended up telling him a really big secret of mine. He helped me through my problems and even told me his secret so I knew I could trust him. But something seemed to change. He told me that he doesn't think I should like him. These past few days, he's barely acknowledged me. He sat with my best friend on the bus ride (for a long band trip) instead of me, and i caught them holding hands. He has a freaking girlfriend! (which is some random girl that goes to a different school) I'm so confused...I don't know what to do because I started liking him but now he's acting strange. How could I get over him?

also, some guys get off on playing girls. these are the guys to stay away from. because even the best girl out there won't be enough for them.
lastly, you're way too young to expect maturity or clarity from someone your age.
...wow, i somehow just deleted half my post. wow.
anyway, try to back off a lot. the more space you give him the more he'll think about you. don't ignore him and be friendly if he initiates it, but keep your good distance.
also, all advice you receive won't really matter. all these things just add to your knowledge with age.
my advice? don't focus so much on boys right now. enjoy your age because being so young only happens once!
be the heartbreaker, not the heartbroken!
good luck, i hope you follow some of these suggestions because i know from too much experience that they work! [ ohcommahello's advice column | Ask ohcommahello A Question ]

And guess what? It's okay, because remember you said it yourself; we are friends! So just be his friend for now and if for some reason he wants to sit next to you again and have you become the girl that everyone says he likes then tell him....someone is already sitting here. And when he says who? You simply reply, "Not You." This will show him that he's not going to continue to play games with you and he can stay in the FRIEND ZONE with you until he grows up!
