writes: How do I build up trust with a girl I like because we hardly even know each other, but I still care for her. I'm 16 and she is 14, and trust is a big thing to her - as well as me. She said she has to have known someone for a long time to trust them. Does anyone know how long this might be? And how can I build up the trust between us? We have already seen each other before but only when we was out with someone I'm a good friend with, and this person I'm a good friend with is her cousin.

Hey Huni,
No one knows how long its goin to take for her to fully trust you not even her knows that, if you really like her as much as you say you do then you can wait just build up a really good friendship let her know that you are always there wen she needs a friend or a shoulder to cry on n let her know that there is no pressure on her to go out with you. and remember trust can take yrs to build up and minutes to break forever. Good Luck

Nobody can really put a timescale on trust, its something that you build within a realtionship. It could just be thats shes scared to take the plunge for fear of getting hurt. Maybe just bide your time a bit and let her get to know you. If things are meant to happen they will naturally take that path. You cant force someone to trust you they have to make thier own judgement on what they think is right. We all go into a relationship not knowing what it will hold, and we allow the trust to grow in time. Continue to be friends until she is ready for more, when she feels comfortable, unfortunatley no one can say when that will be, its an individual thing and we all feel differently about things like this. See how things go, in time she may well see that she can trust you.
Take care
Good luck
