Eilish agony auntDon't TRY to make somebody like you. If they did, they would be with you not somebody else, so you'll have to accept that. It may be upsetting but just remember there are others out there, and you're still young. If he brings up his girlfriend, just reply with 'yeah' and then change the subject. Try not to get too upset and hurt because of this and don't lose him altogether. Treasure your bond with him, he still cares about you, just not in that way.xxx

A female reader, anonymous, writes (17 February 2011):

You can't make him like you. And even if you could, you shouldn't. As young as you all are, he has a girlfriend, and you should not be interfering and trying to break them up. If they're meant to be, they'll stay together. If not, they will break up, and then maybe you will have a chance. If you're there for him, and support him as a friend, he will appreciate you more in the long run and maybe then he will like you they same way that you like him.

fi_the_tree agony auntIf you are really uncomfortable with him talking to you about him and his gf, then just ask him to not talk about it. If he asks why, be honest with him, tell him it's because you have developed feelings for him, and that you wouldn't be able to give him the best possible advice, as you are not impartial anymore.

Best of luck :)
