A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

There is this guy I like at my school. He knows i like him, but he always says to not talk about it and to move on with the subject. He thinks of us as best friends, but on the other hand he gets too dramatic with things. He always talks to me about the girls he likes and it makes me feel sad. I help him with the girls he likes because i want to be a good friend, but I like him a lot. What should I do?

it takes two to tango and if he is changing the subject and doesn't want to speak about it then maybe the feelings aren't mutual , as hard as it is accept, weve all been there when you like some one and they dont necessarily feel the same, but you need to remember your very good friends and maybe in your guy friends eyes you liking him is complicating your friendship? if you really like him that much then sit him down and tell him egsaclyy how you feel, but also tell him you value his friendship and if he doesnt want to be more than friends you hope you can stay as you are at the moment x

CindyCares agony aunt Change friends. And keep your distance.

If he knows you like him romantically yet he does not miss any occasions to talk to you about his love interests, he is not Mr. Sensitivity and not the best possible friend you can find.

Plus, let's be honest : you are accepting to be " friendzoned " and 99 % this is not because you really value this guy for his quality and personality as a friend, but because you are crushing on him and have the stubborn hope, like every friendzoned has, that if you just hang in there, in time he may see what he has been missing and change his mind and come to see you under a romantic light.

It happens very seldom. I won't say never, but seldom - and in the meantime you are feeling blue, sad, and jealous. Is it worth to feel so bad now in the hope of a vague improbable better future ? Only you can answer to that.
