We didn't really talk to each other for the first few years, but became close as we had classes and talked to each other more. It was nice. But now we go to separate schools and I find that hard. He would sit at my table and we'd joke around with each other, but now that I don't see him anymore, I feel sad and lost without him.Personally, I think he's different as he's someone I actually cared for compared to my other close friends. I kind of get scared that we're going to go our separate ways and he'll forget all about me. I kind of give "hints" that I like him, like smiley faces (sorry this sounds so cheesy gahhh) and stuff. He's straight, as he told he the girl he likes. He keeps pestering me on who I like too, but I just shrug it off or try to avoid the topic in general.So in the end, is there anything I should do? Or give it time to see what's going to happen?Please help. =/ Reply to this Question

ive been there and think you should find a distraction because you are wasting your time, i did it and am trying not to do it again, u just need to think of the consequences and think how would you feel if a girl knew how you felt and wouldnt leave you alone, it can be complimentary but you dont want to hurt anyone, so look for distractions, remember your friendship and remember it is tough shit! life isnt fair but you can get through this

 You know he's not interested in guys. You said it yourself that he's straight. There is nothing you can do to change that, because sexuality is inborn, not a choice. Just maintain your friendship with him, and don't say anything to him about liking him. A lot of straight people find it too awkward to be platonic friends with a person that admits romantic interest in them when they're not the gender they prefer.
