Question
Hi Faith, I have a minor problem. This girl and I really liked each other(both 14) starting about maybe 5-6 weeks ago. We never really got together because she said she was grounded until the end of the summer. Well this past Wednesday I asked her if she would like to go to the movies w/ me and some friends. Then she told me things had changed, that she had a new boyfriend. I was confused, i thought she was grounded. I didn't take it too well, at work and workout I was just dazed most of the time, thinkin "why again"??. Problem is she did this to me before too. But this thing happened and I forgave her and we had  a good time.Her friends tell me that she does this alot, and that when she comes back to tell her no. I dont what to do. If you could give me some advice that would be a great help!!

Answer
hey wyatt,

it sounds to me like this girl isn't taking your feelings very seriously.

i think she really likes that you like her and knows that you'll do pretty much anything to make her happy.

if you really want to be with her, be prepared for her behavior and don't expect her to reciprocate your feelings the way you want. she's simply not ready for what you are offering, i think.

in my opinion, you're a mature young man and i think that you deserve someone who can appreciate you better. i know you like her, but try not to close yourself off to the possibility that there could be another person out there who can see how worth it you are.

good luck!
