I am currently in grade twelve at high school. In grade eleven, I met this girl. We became excellent friends until the summer began, at which point we fell in love. We were "meant for eachother"... and definently still are. I had the greatest summer of my life with this girl. Anyway, school started again in early September, and since that point, the first day of school, an incredible akwardness came between us that we both noticed immediately. We went from telling each other everything and anything... to a state of a loss of words around each other... to the point where we almost want to avoid one another in response to the unbearable akwardness. We feel nervous around each other, it's terrible. Yet, internally, we both are madly in love with one another... it's so difficult to explain. I love this girl, and she loves me. Now, the akwardness has extended into our evening phone conversations... it's just two hours of long pauses and nonsense talk. I do notice, though, that when we are alone together in intimate situations, such as on weekends, that much of the akwardness disperses, although is not anywhere close to the point it was at in the summer. We spoke about the whole situation tonight, which made it even more akward. Anyway, we've come to a conclusion, we need to find reasoning for the akwardness, and from that point, we can identify a solution. We can't go on this way for much longer, no matter how strong our feelings for each other continue to be. I need your help finding the reason behind all of this... because if it isn't solved, it'll be the death of both of us, or worse yet, the death of the relationship. I beg of you, please help! Our three months is approaching fast (October 1st), and I'd really love for things to be back to normal by that time, thank you!
