writes:I need help on a situation with a friend..So i've been really close friends with a guy that i've known for about a year and a half. It's not really a normal situation though i guess, he's 37 and he used to be a neighbour of mine..i'm 17, and i did used to have a 'crush' on him but as of now, i completely just see him as a friend! I've helped him get through quite alot of crap within the past year and he's never failed to tell me anything that's wrong. We're probably as close as friends can get, and normally whenever he's down and i ask him to talk about it, he does! But recently, over the past couple of week he's been completely ignoring me, whenever i see him we normally stop and talk for ages, but recently he's just blanking me. He's a really close family friend, but as weird as it sounds..i'm way more closer to him than my parents, but my mum saw him and she said how i've been saying that i think something is wrong because he hasn't spoke to me...and apparently, he just told my mum everything that's going wrong in his life and that he's been super down...so i guess my question is, why after all this time of him trusting me has he just decided to stop talking to me about his problems and almost act angry with me? I know it sounds odd that i care so much because of the age difference, but he's just a really close friend and i care about him.Someone help out? Why is he ignoring me? thanks alot!

 I hate to say this but at 37 he's figured out that 17 is not interesting
I am sure he was cultivating you for a sex toy... and when all you offered was friendship he got bored.
While I am a huge supporter of age gap relationships when my partner was 17 and I was 30 I would not have given him the time of day... now that he's 38 and i'm nearly 52 we are just fine.
at 17 you should look at people within 3 or 3 years of your age to befriend...

 Ok tough love - think I'm getting a reputation for it.
Your a gorgeous 17 year old, and he's possibly a very hot guy at 37, but that's 20 years your senior
I hate to be mean but he's ignoring you because you are way too young and actually as much as you hate to hear it it's not good for him to talk to you.
