Olivia_likes_jake agony auntI feel the same way. What i did was I went up to my crush (jake) and told him im in love with him. it was weird for a moment or two and after that we started going out because he felt exactly the same way i do.

So my advice is go tell him you love him! If it doesnt work out and they laugh just say it was a dare!

JLoop agony auntHey when i was 15 i had the biggst crush on this guy and we ended up dating cuz my friend set it up and it was a dream come true for me, but he ended up breaking my heart, i did get over him. but at the time i thought he was the perfect man for me, it just shows that sometimes ur wrong avbout love u shouldnt tell him u love him, you should just flirt and let him make the fist move beacuse you'll wonder if he is dating u cuz he really liked u or is it just cuz he knew u liked him and he wanted some guys r seriously assholes so u should be cautious ur still young and love will find u

A female reader, anonymous, writes (24 May 2008):

Yeah, I have the exact same problem. I have been in love with this guy for almost a year now, but I don't know, sometimes it seems like he likes me but a lot of times I just don't think theres any chance that he does. I'm really feeling depressed though, I just want to cry. I think about him NON STOP and I just can't stop no matter how hard I try. I've tried to get over him, but I just can't!!! Any tips??? I would really appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions. I'm a pretty shy person, and I think I'd rather die than tell him how I feel. I don't know what to do. Please help!!! Thank you.

i think that you should follow your heart im in the same kinda prob yeh it makes you depressed but the best thing you can do is talk face to face it may seem hard but its important to do it face to face cause u get everything out u want to say and in txt message you cant reli see what he looks like like if he takes it bad or not dont matter what your friends think you can always make new ones and if they dont support you then there not really good friends and if he is older than you and your parents disagree think carefully like how much do you love each other and how far do you see the relo going

Let the person no how u feel tell him straight dont do it by text do it face to face tell him wat u think and how u feel see how he reacts if he goes ok and nothing more it may mean he isnt interested or that he needs time to think about wat u just said he might say he feels the same just go for it you will no unless you try!!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (10 April 2008):

just let the person know exactly how u feel, tell them that u have something to tell them but ur not exactly sure of how they will react, then tell them that u think u love them and that u would like to know how they feel towards you, also tell them that it might be just a crush, most likely, if they have any feelings, they would be flattered to know that they are liked and u'll never know if they like u back unless you ask

If you like the person, go for it. You'll never know until you try. Apart from what your friends think and your mum, what do you think you should do? If you try it and it doesn't work out, then at least you know what your answer is. Bring up some courage but whatever you do, don't let it get you down1 =) Good luck!

I would suggest that you talk to the person that you like and ask them what they think about you, if it comes back positive then take it a step further and tell them your feelings for them and see how they react, don't rush into things, you might scare them

Maybe just talk it through with the person you like. Explain to them how you feel, but also let them know you are aware of how there is little chance of you getting together. See how they feel about it...good luck!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (12 May 2007):

First of all you have to make sure you are really in love. At 16 we all think we are in love, please don´t be offended as by this, I don´t intend to say that what you feel at the moment isn´t of importance, or that the feeling isn´t very strong, but do you know this person well enough to decide if what you feel is love? Do you know if this person feels the same way, and would therefore be interested in a relationship with you? What are the circumstances that make you think there is very little chance of you being together? Ask yourself all these questions, and get advice from all your friends (there will surely be someone who understands) and good luck.

A female reader, darksecretangel United Kingdom +, writes (12 May 2007):

darksecretangel agony auntHi there

First of all let me say you are not alone, i myself am going through exactly what you are.

Consider why cant you and this person be togeter? is it because of age, culture, gender or anything else.

Tell this person how you feel at least before you consider getting depressed over sed person. Because you never know what they feel. the person might have strong feelings towards you or they might not.

Try telling your mum that you are serious about sed person and that its not a crush its more than that. my advice to you is to write all your feelings in a book, this will help you at least get out some of the sadness you are feeling. One other thing you should never do is get drunk over this person. although it seems great at the time its actually really bad because you just feel really bad the day after with a hangover and mixed emotions.

AdamPayseno agony auntFirst of all.. Ignore your friends.

You know how you feel, they don't have a clue.

Parents have a way of putting young relationships' down and that can be frustrating..

Care to follow up with abit more detail on the situation? Who are you in love with? How did you fall in love? Why is there such a little chance of you being together and how do you personally think you could work on it?

I'll keep an eye out for your reply.
