Hi everyone,

So I was with this guy for 2 years, until we broke up at the end of last year. We promised before we got together that we would still be best friends, and we are, we have such a laugh. He is perfectly aware that I still like him and would happily get back with him, but he is adament that he doesn't like me and doesn't want to give me false hope, despite him telling me he loves spending time with me. He's really not a fussy person and yet he still doesn't like me. This is really draining my self confidence. It sounds cocky, but I don't really get why he doesn't like me. We're great friends, we have a laugh, we're similar and we act in a way that I would consider a little bit flirty, I'm not disgustingly ugly or fat, so I don't really get it. So basically my question is do I continue trying to get him to like me (not by being fake, but being my best) or do I give up? I just don't want to regret giving up like I regret messing us up. I'm quite a shy person and I can't be myself unless I know someone really well. I'm scared that if I give up on him, my only hope, when I start college nobody will like me or want a relationship with me and I'll be lonely forever. He's pretty much perfect for me. What should I do?

Cole Turner agony auntNever give up! but you have to give your guy space to work out his own ideas. I would say friends at the moment is going to be best .. and just see where it goes from there. Also you need to get some self confidence girl! when you go to college you will be surprised just how much attention from guys you will be getting! believe in yourself and most of all just be yourself!!!
