Hi,

Recently, I've begun to have strong feelings for a really close female friend that I've known for years - I'd go as far as to say that she's one of my best friends. But now that I feel more strongly about her, it's going to make things more difficult. To begin with, she already has a boyfriend, making it hard to mention anything to her. Along with this, she thinks that I have feelings for someone else, which I don't. Finally, I live in another country to her - not far away as I still get to see her reasonably often. I just don't know what to do now, any ideas please?

Danielepew agony auntYes. I asssume the fact that she lives in a different country is unimportant. But, well, bear in mind that she's taken, and find someone else.

You're not old enough to have learned this, but there is no need to make your life more difficult than it should be. If she's taken, don't make a move. Good principle to live by, and not just morally, but also in terms of convenience. Your convenience.
