My "friend" Ian , doesn't know I like him. He starts a conversation over text .we will have a few sentences and then he ends it by not replying. He calls me all kinds of names like sweetie and Hun. He won't tell me if he likes me , but I already kinda got the idea he does. His sister and I r really great friends too. I want him to text me more and also I would like to get him to tell me how he feels. Do any of u know how to make that happen?

Hi there. You say you text each other fairly often. But do you ever see each other and go out at all? There is nothing quite like face to face contact. Texting is so limited and people abbreviate so as not to waste time. Because of that, it is quite impersonal and you don't get to know much about the other person.

You are 13-15 years of age, which is very young to even be thinking about the future and getting into serious relationships.

How about the pair of you going to see a movie you both like, and then have coffee after and just chat.

You really need to get to know each other more and see how well you get along. Find out what things you both like - sports, music, interests, likes, dislikes. Find some common ground. The only real way to do that, is to actually see each other. Don't leave all your conversations to only texting. It's a bit empty.

If you start seeing each other and hanging out together on a fairly regular basis, you will naturally start to get closer and it will all develop. However, you can't push him to tell you how he feels - that will come in time. If it's meant to happen. It can't be forced. You're both so young at the moment and are probably still going to school. Also, it's probably a first time romantic interest for both of you. That in itself is a pretty special time.

How you feel now about life and everything will dramatically change in the next few years. Just relax into it, and keep it light. But don't make him the focus of your whole existence, and do keep seeing your friends. Don't isolate yourself from everyone else, or you might end up in an emotional mess. You really need to be enjoying yourself and becoming independent. And don't forget to have fun!

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
