I really like this one guy that I met about 2 years ago in school and I've liked him ever since. He was in my class and we were pretty close. Summer vacation started and I didn't see him as much anymore until school started this year. Everything changed... I mean, we used to talk a lot! We used to grab onto each others hands, play with each others hair... and we used to talk nonstop during classes... but now he doesn't even look at me! We pass each other in the hallways and he just ignores me. My friends tell me that I'm wasting my time waiting for his responses and that I should just forget about him, but I cant! What should I do? Why is he acting like this?

Well.. I think.. You should just go up to him and talk regularly like you use to, then you could get back being friends with him again like you said you use to, and you could end up being with him. You won't ever know until you try.

When I was a teenager, I use to act like that if...

.. What happened really never mattered to me.
.. I got a new boy that will be jealous.
.. I feel embarrassed for getting close.
.. I don't wan't to do any more business with the person.
.. I heard something bad he told behind my back.

If you want, say hi and joking ask "Don't worry I'm not gonna ask for a kiss or an autograph. Just a wave or a hi will do." If he still doesn't respond and change his behaviour towards you, then forget it.
