  • i have no advice, but i do have hugs... *hugs*
  • i think im gona vomit from the stress...
    im freaking cold now..
  • Wow, that's a really difficult situation to be in, to say the least.

    Honestly, I think the best thing you can do is just to tell him what you've been telling him. It's really hard to hear, "I just want to be friends," but if it's honestly how you feel, he needs to accept that. He shouldn't be trying to reason with you, and he can't force you into a relationship if you don't want to be in it. You have very valid reasons to not want to be in one- you like someone else, you feel you're too different, you may not be ready to date, and you don't want to ruin your friendship. I think you were as nice as you could be to him, and nothing you said was hurtful.

    There's really not much else you can do. He's just got to learn the hard way. You're both young. He'll get over it, and hopefull you'll both stay friends in the long run.

    please try to relax, dear. it sounds like both of you care a lot about each other, which is great. and i agree with how you responded to his "reasoning," given your feelings about your friendship. regardless of any other boy, it's about your feelings with this particular one. if you can't return his romantic interest, then it's not fair to him or yourself. he shouldn't be pressuring you into a relationship. if he really "loves" you, then he should know that and be willing to wait for you, if that's what it might take.

    again, please try to relax and remember that both of you are really very young. there's no need to rush things and life doesn't have to be a teen drama/soap opera...ok?

    oh, and *hug*
  • thank you guys
    it helped

    I agree with this. You would hurt him more if you went out with him and your heart wasn't in it.

    You know we're here for you. Feel better and many hugs.

    anyways.. heres out latest conversation..

    im the freakmagnet one

    im about to cry..

    Etheawin: ok one more retarded question and im done.. if you didnt like [insert guy you like's name here] would you go out with me?
    FreakMagnet91: probably not because i value our friendship more than anything, and i have a record of not being very close with people after the dating is over. and i kno u think that wont happen but it most likely will, plus you like being together alot with your girlfriends and im more to myself. i like having my privacy and being alone alot
    Etheawin: damn it
    FreakMagnet91: are u mad
    Etheawin: no just sad
    FreakMagnet91: jake there are so many people
    Etheawin: i know
    Etheawin: but still
    FreakMagnet91: maybe one day
    FreakMagnet91: cause people change
    FreakMagnet91: and with me you never know
    Etheawin: i dont need to know
    Etheawin: i dont care
    Etheawin: brb
    FreakMagnet91: ok
    Etheawin: back to what i was saying..
    FreakMagnet91: what about it
    Etheawin: you know.. ive never loved anyone [outside of family] more than you
    Etheawin: seriously
    Etheawin: and i dont care what it entails or how much you change or anythinhg
    Etheawin: anything*
    FreakMagnet91: jake thats probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me but were to different to date.
    FreakMagnet91: you and i are super close and i dont want that to be ruined at all
    Etheawin: you know i love you more than anything and nothing could make me stop loving you, thats how i know we would still be close.
    Etheawin: -sigh-
    FreakMagnet91: yes but were too different to date.
    FreakMagnet91: the last thing i want to do it hurt you but thats what will most likely happen if we do date.. and i like someone alot right now.
    Etheawin: i know that
    Etheawin: thus the "if you did not like.."
    Etheawin: and what do you mean by "too different to date"?
    Etheawin: and what do you mean by "too different to date"?
    FreakMagnet91: by how you like to be around your girlfriends alot.
    FreakMagnet91: you have alot of love and you need to give it all, and i like to be to myself alot.
    FreakMagnet91: which is why i might not be ready to date at the moment
    Etheawin: i hate life =_=
    FreakMagnet91: no
    FreakMagnet91: no
    Etheawin: well
    FreakMagnet91: jake..
    FreakMagnet91: god im gona cry
    Etheawin: this particular moment in life
    Etheawin: dont cry
    Etheawin: please thats the last thing id ever want you to do
    FreakMagnet91: i just wana be friends.
    FreakMagnet91: friends mean more to me than anything else
    Etheawin: that sucks
    Etheawin: oh well



    awww!!! thats so cute! sad.gif i feel sooooooo bad after reading things like that..
  • lol yea
    hes still like that
    maybe a little less like that..
  • You should never EVER date someone just because you feel bad for saying no. It's hard and it hurts and you care a lot about him, but he'll be hurt more.
