writes: I've been very confused lately and I haven't yet decided what to do, so any input would be appreciated. :]I'm a 14 year old in high school--please don't judge me by my age. I recently moved from NJ to MN to CA. I lived in NJ for the vast majority of my life, and when I first started going to grade school I met my first friend in that area. His nickname was Dallas. We were best friends for a long time but weren't in each other's classes much after first grade.In fourth grade, however, Dallas asked me to be his girlfriend. Being a shy little girl who happened to know the connotations of love, I just said I'd think about it, but never replied. (I also had developed a crush on him). Throughout middle school, we didn't talk much because he had become more or less a bully, yet he wouldn't really insult me and when he said something that I might not like, he did back off. In eighth grade, we didn't communicate much at all and I started to realize that I want to at least try to push him in the right direction (no bullying, care about himself, etc). Now that we're separated by miles, I tried sending a message to him via Facebook, but he never replies to what I say to him and when he does it's a short exchange of "how are you?" kinds of things. I want to tell him what I think of him, but don't want to do it so bluntly that it would destroy the 9 years we've known each other. Any ideas?My friend said maybe I could tell him to listen to a song with similar lyrics to what I think..such as "Which to Bury; Us or the Hatchet" by Relient K.

You need to apologize to him for not getting back to him and explain that you were not ready for a relationship when he approached to you previously. Don't expect him to come running after you, hun. There's a pride thing he'll need to get over as well, but only he can do that. The heart is a fragile thing. It is easily rent and quickly spent, but much time is required to heal it of its pangs from yesteryear.
