Uhhh... Hi. Well, I was looking for some relationship advice and I stumbled upon your book. So this is my problem; There's this guy in my class, mind you we've just met this year and hit it off pretty well. And this resulted in me liking him, alot. But there are times where he's made sure that we were just friends. So I was disappointed and tried to move on. But then while I was in the process of moving on, he randomly tells me that he has a huge crush on a girl. Me being curious, I get little clues out of him. I so happen to fit these clues, but unfortunately my best friend does too. So well, you're probably thinking it's definitely your best friend since he made it clear that your guys are just friends. But then he does all these things he has never done before, like giving me his last chocolate bar (he's a chocolate addict) and I often see him texting me more often. So maybe some advice?-Anonymous
Seems like a difficult situation to be in, that's for sure. I think the best way to start- if you haven't already- is to ask your best friend if he's been flirting with her or not. If she says no and/or that she's not interested in him, then you're in the clear on that end. The last thing you need is for both of you to be going after the same guy. Trust me: it's not fun. So once you figure that out, it would probably be best if you were just direct with him about it. Let him know that he's being confusing with his actions. It certainly seems like he's giving you two different messages. On one hand, in the past he's made sure that you guys are just friends. On the other, he's doing things for you that he doesn't for others right after admitting that he has a huge crush on a girl. Ask him for clarification on that; see if that girl is you. It's up to you whether or not you add in that you still like him. Personally, I would hold off on making that decision until after he explains. That way, if his crush happens to be someone else, you can play it off and walk away with dignity. I hope this helps and best of luck to you!
