Dear Dish-It: LOVE Quickies (10)

Dish-It's Mailbag!

Dish-it gets so many questions, she doesn’t always have time to answer them all separately! Here are some quickie answers for some of the questions you asked about love, dating and relationships. Check to see if your question is answered here!

Iwas totally in love with this one guy and he was in love with me. But then we broke up and I cried for two weeks. Now we’re friends but I still love him as more than a friend. At the same time, I’m starting to really like my best guy friend, too. My first love says he still has some love for me but doesn’t know about getting back yet. Please help! – jole333

I think you should be patient and wait and see what happens with both guys. No need to do anything or ask anyone out – let one of them decide he wants to be with you and make the first move.

I really like this guy I met at camp. The only problem is he's going into Grade 7 and I’m in Grade 5. My sister told me he thinks about sex and, like all boys, will ask me to do it if we get together. Should I go for him or just leave him alone or be friends? – true2myself

First of all, not all guys are the same. Second, if there’s any concern or fear in your mind that this particular guy is going to ask you to do things you don’t want to do, then leave him alone. Otherwise you’re just setting yourself up for trouble.

There's this guy I really like and he's on my brother's soccer team. He doesn't really chat with me much but he smiles and looks at me a lot. He's a great player and sometimes I cheer him on though it's hard because I want to single him out but it might be awkward because nobody knows I like him. Well my brother had a game today and I watched it. After a game, the team high fives the parents. I went in the line and I saw that he lightly tapped everyone's hand. But when it came to me, he slapped it hard and didn't look back. Does that mean anything? – soccercutie

The only person that can tell you for sure is him. But try reading this articles – maybe there’s some good advice in them you could use: How Do I Know If He Likes Me?

I like this guy from school and I had my best friend (his cousin) ask him out for me but he said no. Should i ask him out again but this time in person? – crushergirl11

No, I’m afraid if he said no that means he doesn’t want to date you.

I like a guy in my class and he likes me. The problem is he’s my friend’s cousin and the two of them always bicker and pretty much hate each other. But he asked me out and, though I don’t want to hurt my friend’s feelings, I really like him. – caught in the middle

Sounds like a case of having to choose love or friendship. Luckily, there’s an article that may help you: Choosing Love Over Friendship.

There’s a guy who says he loves me and wants to marry me, but he’s my BFF’s brother. What do I do? – helovesme

You need to be honest with and talk to your BFF about this situation. Listen to what your BFF has to say and you can go from there.
