What Are Boyfriend /Girlfriend Relationships All About? 55


If she turns you down, she turns you down. It might hurt, but at least you won’t have to
spend any more time wondering how she feels. Then again, maybe she’ll say yes! I wish you
luck!

He only likes me as a friend


Hey Terra,


I’ve been crazy about this guy for a while. I’ve even told him how I feel, but he says he only
likes me as a friend. I like him so much more than that. What can I do to get him to change
his mind?

Dear Love Struck,


It sounds like you’ve already donewhat you can do. You’ve told this guy how you feel, and
he’s told you the kind of relationship he wants with you for now. I know that it hurts to get
rejected, especially when your feelings for someone are strong. Is there anyone you can talk
to about this? Do you have ways to make yourself feel better? Get some exercise, spend time
with friends, or focus on school and after-school activities. Maybe, in time, this guy’s feelings
for you will change, but it’s best not to sit around waiting for that to happen. You’ve got better
things to do with your time!


In friendship,
Terra
