CRUSHES

Advice

I Had an Imaginary BF!

I like this guy so I made up a fake BF from my swim team who I came up with over summer last year. I had him dump me through a note and everyone believed it. Now I'm BF-less and the guy I like I'm never going to see again 'cause he lives 30 minutes away. I really wanted to tell him that I liked him but I couldn't 'cause I was too chicken. I told his cousin since she's my friend but I think she told him and everyone else, and I'm going to see the people she told.


To make matters worse, I asked a guy who was an awesome friend of mine if he likes me 'cause he's in 7th grade and I just graduated 8th grade (all my friends thought we'd make a good couple). I'm afraid that I wrecked our friendship and I think my crush heard me ask him. I'm now stuck in a big old tangle and I don't know what to do.


HERE ARE SOME SOLUTIONS I THOUGHT OF:

1. Ask the guy I like out and tell everyone I never really had a BF before.

2. Ask my friend out 'cause I kinda like him even though he doesn't like me.

3. Wait and don't ask out either and keep the fake BF thing a secret.

4. Ask another guy that I like out (totally different guy), even though he has a GF.

5. Or do none of those and tell everyone that my BF was never real and make myself a liar.

I don't know what to do. Can you please help or give me more suggestions to make myself crazy over?

First, you should just come clean about the whole fake BF thing. It might be tough, but it's always better to tell the truth. If ya have trouble doing it, just write everyone a li'l note and explain what went on. You might get teased, but it will die down.


Next, you should realize that you don't absolutely need a BF. You're a great, smart gal all by yourself and you don't need a  What do YOU want the most? Which guy and situation would you be most comfortable with? Write a list of pros and cons for each situation and pick from there. Props for being brave enough to ask him someone out yourself.


Finally, talk to your friend. Explain the situation and apologize.


Love ya,
