A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Ok so I'm friends with this guy and we used to best friends.

I told him my feelings for him and he said "i like you as a friend. It would be weird to go out with one of my best friends. You're still one of my best friends"

We were still friends after that like nothing awkward.

But he isn't the type of guy to say his feelings and he's like quiet compared to me. I'm quite a loud and chatty girl ha.

But when he's with just me he's so sweet and he's like showing signs of how a guy does when he likes a girl but he's never had a girlfriend before and says he doesn't like me in that way.

But lately I feel like we're getting back to best friends.

My friend says he likes me by the way he acts (there's a lot to write but it'd take forever to type :( ) and that he does like me but he's shy or whatever in expressing his feelings.

I don't know what to do and I know I'm only 15 but I truly do believe he's the one because he's the only one I've had this much hope for.

Every day I just hope for a day he's going to say how he feels like and there's nothing I can say I dislike about him.

He thinks I don't like him in that way anymore but I just want to say to him "look I am crazy over you, you're no Brad Pitt I'm no Kim Kardashian why don't we just try being together and see how it goes, we don't have to tell anyone and if it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out.

If that happens then we'll just act like it never happened and we'll just be best friends. No awkwardness."

but I'm afraid to.

He means so much to me and I now couldn't imagine my life without him. I could actually imagine a life with him, getting married having kids etc.

Felt like this for nearly a year. Sorry if it doesn't seem clear enough I'll elaborate if anyone comments and helps. Thanks a lot :)

A reader, anonymous, writes (6 April 2014):

You said it yourself, doll, you're 15. The 'one' is a bit strong. You said you've felt like this for a year, that's not a life time of love, darling. Sorry to be abrupt but the likelihood of the two of you being eternal soul mates is slim at your ages. You're going to meet hundreds of people in the next few years of your life if you go to college, work, university, on holidays. And you might end up liking one of them.

If you like this guy, tell him once more and then forget about it. If he doesn't tell you he likes you then let it go because you're going to make things awkward, but one more time won't hurt if he thinks it's gone away.

Just say to him "so, I still like you, can you believe it?" and laugh, make a joke out of it and let him carry it on or brush it off. Don't force it, let it come naturally and he'll feel more comfortable about it.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that this is love at your age, but I hope everything works out for you both.
