Question
(I am 17 she's 16) Because I loved a friend of mine and she didn't tell me that she only wanted to be friends with me so I fell in love her but when I asked a friend of ours to see if maybe she loved me and was shy about it she said that she didn't feel the same way (and she never told me this maybe cause she thought she was protecting me by not telling me the truth) and recently we did start talking again but we keep on arguing and last saturday during homecoming I got kinda jealous seeing her dancing with another guy and I was and am thinking where did I go wrong. I am also stuck between trying to convince her into giving me a chance and just be friends

Answer
Don't try and convince someone to give you the time of day. That's not a real friend, if you ask me.

Let her go, she's obviously not too keen on having you in her life and if that's the case, the only option you have is moving on and getting over it with time. Think about it this way, if you keep annoying her to talk to her and be friends with her, don't you think the outcome will just result in her giving in out of pity?

Think about it.

Good luck with your decision.

Life as a teen can be extremely difficult and everyone can understand where you are coming from. And although you may have the answer already in your mind, it's sometimes easier to hear it from someone else. I can answer anything from is he/she treating you right, is the right person for me, how to deal with break-ups and heartbreaks, and so forth. I can try my best to answer to your question as quick as possible. I can only try so hard to understand what you're saying so please, be clear about what you're trying to get across. As for length of letters, keep them BRIEF and to the point. Don't beat around the bush about what you're trying to ask, if you give me something short I can answer them with a better understanding of the issue.

Experience

I too am a teen and find that these are the hardest years to have a relationship and really learn from them. Sometimes, it can be extremely difficult to see through the feelings that we posses and instead, we make the wrong decisions.
