Two years ago, I started to develop a crush on one of my friends that I had lost touch with over the years but had recently started talking to again, Michael. Then, Michael developed a crush on my friend Sammy and she liked him back so I decided, why not help them get together? I mean, if Michael's happy then I'm happy, right? So I got them together and I was super happy and proud of myself and they lasted almost a year, all the while I still liked him, but I was okay with him not liking me. Then that June I moved to Tennessee and Michael and I started to text back and forth every day for hours. Sammy eventually broke up with him and afterward, I noticed that I still had a crush on him. Still. We kept texting and over a year later, his texts are becoming less frequent and our conversations are a lot shorter, and I find myself not really knowing what to say to him. I end up texting him first most of the time, and sometimes I'm scared that I'm creeping him out or that he finds it annoying how often I try to contact him. I literally find no guy in Tennessee attractive and I find myself thinking about Michael like, all the time. I feel a little sad that we don't talk as often as we used to, and I haven't found a single guy here even mildly attractive or interesting since I'm always comparing guys to Michael. I fantasize about having a relationship with him and being cute together and whatnot, and I think about him a lot. I seriously doubt that he has any feelings for me and I have like a -200% chance of ever having a relationship with him. He keeps asking when I'm going to visit and he's said that he wants to see me, so at least he misses me, right? So, do I still like him or do I just like the idea of him? Am I obessed with him? Should I just give up on him and settle for being an angry dog-lady? I've always had trouble with getting over people, I get hung up on guys easily. This is really starting to annoy me, like, why can't I just give up on him? Gah.

If you haven't given up yet, maybe it means something. Maybe it doesn't. You are torturing yourself with it. I should know I went through similar scenarios. Just tell him how you feel. I know it is difficult, but at least then he'll know and you'll get those burning feelings out the way. If he is not respectful after hearing you out, he's not worth the feelings you have. But who knows? He could be torturing himself with the same thing! Don't get your hopes up, but make sure to have a little hope. Remind yourself this: The worst thing he can say... is he doesn't feel that way about you, and If that s the case,you can move on and live through your day in mind for YOU instead of him. Put yourself first, that way if he's not putting you first it'll be OK. I hope that helped.

How old are you both? 12? 13? 14? Age does play a huge factor in the advice needed.
