eyeswideopen agony auntSounds like he only thinks of you as a friend. I guess your best bet is to just accept that and try to relax and be friendly around him. In time you may actually just feel friendship for him.

finchy agony auntYour just going to have to forget about him, i know its going to be hard but you dont want to do anything that could put his future marrige in jeprody. Think if you were on the receiving end? How would you feel if someone was after your man?

As for acting around him try not to be any differant than you already are he will get curious as to what has changed.

Try to find something that will take your mind off him.

Take care darlin x
