writes:May I start by saying I'm a hopeless romantic.So I'm madly in love with this friend at school. I get bullied and most people hate me, so when this guy moved to where i live, and it was literally love at first site, i thought 'Yes! This is my chance to get a boyfriend!' So I got to know him, i tried to ask him out a number of times but would always get interrupted by things like a horrible boy saying "***! don't hang around with her! You'll dig your own grave!" But in a more chavvy way. I really liked him, around October i realised it was more than just a small crush i loved him. My crushes never last from September to November, so I was quite excited and thought i'll ask him out!No one to interrupt me! I'm going to do it! But then that night when we were texting i was going to ask him out and he texted me this, word for word"*****, I kinda fancy your sister xxxx"Later on he realised i fancied him, my sister knew from the start, did that stop them deciding to go out even though my sister had no feelings for him at all? No. Now it's February and I've had to sit through four months of agonizing pain. It drives me crazy not being able to be that one to hang out with him on valentines day or be the one to cuddle and kiss him. So I don't really have a specific question. I'm just begging for any advice. Please!!!!

But, I do suspect that you aren't in love with this boy as you claim, but you are very much in love with the suspense and the drama this guy brought into your life. This is what comes through in your writing...and like you first admitted, you do seem like a "hopeless romantic."
However romance isn't the same thing as love. Romance tends to aggrandize and poeticize normal emotions and conflicts, love is when you really do care for a person (beyond having them perform for you in your Valentine's Day play)
I think you'll get over it in time. You've got decades to meet other people who aren't interested in your sister and you might even pen some romance novels.
Good luck.
