writes:I'm 16 and when I was younger I played a sport to national standard and met a great number of people in the years I was playing, but I had to 'retire' at the age of 12 when a failed operation left me with a bad arm.I met the man in question when I was around 8 and as I was on facebook two years ago, I came across his profile, remembered him, and got in touch with him and we started talking.He is a doctor living on the other side of the country so we kept in touch primarily over facebook and after a while, we exchanged numbers purely because we got on well. He acted very much as a big brother to me and never even suggested anything inappropriate, and I got a bit of a crush on him.He continuously supports me and since I have turned 16 he has started flirting subtly, although nothing that ever alarmed me - I am very aware of the dangers of 'older men' (I've had to be as I generally get on better with adults, and boys over girls), but he openly talks to my family and boyfriend, and they understand he's a caring and genuine man.He came up to the city I live in to see his family for Christmas and we met up and spent the whole day together - he was a complete gentleman and we got on like best friends. At the end of the day I gave him a peck on the lips (as I do with all my close male friends), but as he kissed me I could tell he was going for more than a 'peck'. The reason I'm asking is that I dont know what to do - there is a 17 year age gap and he lives on the other side of England, not to mention the fact that I have a boyfriend (my friend is single). But the connection we have is ridiculously strong. I told him how I felt the other day and his response was "you're one of my closest friends, and you're beautiful, let me know in a few years if you're still interested" - although deep down I know that if I wanted something I could have it now. I think he's battling with himself slightly.. I'm confused as to what to do and how to feel..any advice?Girl, 16, Manchester, UK

reader, anonymous, writes (27 December 2011): I once had a girlfriend who kissed her close male friends on the lips... She is now an ex because of this. My friends and her friends met at a mutual friends engagement party and I witnessed the kissing of close friends for the first time. My friends along with everybody else were shocked at what they saw. Needless to say the relationship ended soon after. Stop kidding your friends and save your kisses for your boyfriend. Nobody wants to share bodily parts with anyone else!
