I was 8 years old when I first met this guy, i am now 17. Our mothers work together and are best friends. We used to go over their house all the time. And me and him used to take their dogs for a walk. One time, when we did, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I've never felt that happy in my life. I didn't understand what i felt for him at first, after all, i was only 8. But as the feelings for him grew, as well as us, I figured it out. Im in love with him and always have been. We grew apart and eventually, he had other girlfriends and i tried having other boyfriends. But I've always compared them to him. It's difficult to be with someone when your inlove with abother guy, and not fair on them. It's always been weird between us. Theres always been this sort of...tension. I used to avoid looking at him, as it'd make it harder to ignore the feelings i had for him and I'd notice him doing the same. Now, he's 19 and im 17 and It's gone from seeing him, twice a year to staying over at his house and hanging around with him and his friends. Im going to be working closely with him aswell. I don't know if he still feels the same, although, sometimes, he gives me this..shy, secret smile. I know he remembers because we had a conversation. He asked what it was his brother knew that i didn't want to tell him. I said it didn't matter, that he probably didn't remember. But he smiled at me and told me he did. I don't really want to tell him how i feel because of how close our families are and because he has a girlfriend. I've tried ignoreing how i feel for 9/10 years. It hasn't worked, they've just gotten stronger. Is there another way I can get over him?

Abii_Whitlock agony auntHey, thank you for answering me :)

I want to get over him because im not positive he still likes me.

If he did, wouldn't he have made a move by now?

It's been 9 years, he had plenty of time. We may not have seen allot of eachother in that time but still...

He does these other things aswell, where i don't know if he's joking or not. Im not positive he likes me and don't want to risk making it even more tense between us. I'd rather us be friends than nothing at all.
