Question - (16 April 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 17 April 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay here goes, I'm 16 in a couple of weeks, I am in love with a 20 year old. I'm from the UK so it's perfectly legal when i turn 16. Anyway about 6 months ago i told him i liked him and he just kinda didnt really say he didnt like me but he didnt want to date me - he's also a friend of my step-brother.

anyway i've tried moving on, i think about him everyday and where it went wrong- cause he was being very friendly.

I started seeing this guy who's my own age- my mum and friends pushed me into it but i had initial attraction to him. After a couple of dates with this new guy he told me he loves me, i'm freaking out. I cant say the L word unless i mean it! this new guy has asked me out several times over the last 5 years so he would be extremely crushed- though the other day i warned him and told him about the 20 yea old.

I feel terrible, i never wanted him to fall in love with me so quickly, not when i've been trying really hard to love him back. I told him i liked him a few weeks ago when we first started seeing each other, i feel if i break it off now, i'll crush him like i was crushed, but i cant lie to him, i cant tell him i love him if i dont!

sorry this is long please help!

Believe me, it's better to end it now, rather than later when he really will feel pain. End it now, move on.

The answer is: be honest. If he finds out the truth afterwards he will feel even worse. No point in doing that. Be 100%. No other solution

no guy likes living or feeling something that aint true.

as a guy i suggest u tell him. Yes, u might crush him initially but if you dont he will live thinking everything is great while in reality it isnt.

save him time & hurt by telling him before his feelings for you evolve & become bigger & deeper. :)
