writes: Dear agony aunts/uncles, Thanks for taking time out to listen to me rant :). Well, I'm a 16 year old girl currently crushing (really badly) on this other boy of my age. For the past 4 years of my life, we have been relatively good friends, with the occasional flirting and teasing as expected of people our age :/. He's widely known in our school as one who doesn't talk much to girls however, therefore the fact that he talked quite a fair bit to me made me really happy. We've talked about many issues such as our families divorcing, past boyfriends (on my part), and the such. He even gave me advice concerning some friendship issues. It used to make me feel really special because I thought he was telling me things he wouldn't tell others. However, I think otherwise right now. Could he possibly be treating me like as some sort of a "little sister" figure in a way? Well, all of the aforementioned things happened in the past. As of now, we haven't been talking much. He does occasionally text me, however, it always ends up with him ignoring my replies and even acting as though there's nothing wrong with that. Meh, guys are indeed unfathomable; but why would you text someone when you don't want to??! It irked me to no end, thus I stopped replying his texts. But it hurts, as I still like him. My friends have told me numerous times to move on, and I have tried to no avail. What do you believe I should do now? :(Thanks once again! :)

maybe he feels nothing and feels the friendship has just faded or maybe he doesn't think anything at all and has started spending more time doing other stuff.
Your friends are only half right OP.
You need to get closure before you move on. I mean the friendship is fading now, so you may aswell let him know that you like him as more than friends and see if he feels the same.
OP you have absolutely nothing to lose, you're going to have to move on regardless of what happens but this way, just maybe something might happen.
OP do you want to look back on your life thinking of the things you were too scared to do? Or look back and be able to say you tried, you gave it a shot. If you ask me that's far better than having a lived a life filled with 'what if's'.
Take the chance and get your closure, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Two outcomes; one he feels the same and you decide to start meeting, or two he says he doesn't and you know where you stand, that way you can move on.
