Hey,

I have this friend who is 18 (not the cutest guy you’ll meet) and he has told me that he likes me and would like to date, but I turned that down thinking I was too young for a relationship (only being 15) and he was fine with being friends, since then though we go out almost every week for a bite to eat and just to catch up, but more recently it has felt like more of a relationship with him buying me nice jewellery for Christmas and me buying him Cologne for his birthday that is coming up. He has also been away on holiday for the past 3 weeks and I miss his company heaps. I’m not sure what to do, he makes me really happy but is it best to just keep it as friends for the moment?

Thankyou ☺️❤️

I know I am not April but is there a reason to jump into a relationship? If you really miss him and think being in a relationship feels right. Tell him you would like to go on a trail date to see if that is something that you want… Otherwise you guys might just be really good friends, my best friend is a girl. I miss her and everything but I can’t see her as my girlfriend either.

Thankyou Taven03 (:
There isn’t really a reason to jump into a relationship and at the moment I’m happier as friends…..you helped me see that you can have those feelings for friends (of the opposite sex) as you and your friend are and it just be friends and nothing more.

Thanks again ❤️

Trust your instincts. If you feel that 15 is too young to have a boyfriend — you’re probably right. Everyone is different, and you should allow yourself to enjoy his company without anything being defined because of your age.

Thankyou for the advice April
I think 15 is a bit young but who knows what might happen as I get older, we might stay friends or I might be back here asking you for advice again aha (:

And I’ll be here to give you that advice! 🙂

Honestly, this is giving “soft launch relationship without the label” energy. Jewelry for Christmas, cologne for his birthday, weekly food dates, missing him while he’s away… that’s not just friendship, that’s Friendship Plus: Holiday Edition.

That said, AskApril is right your instincts are doing their job. You’re 15, you’re happy, and nothing needs to be rushed or defined right now. Enjoy the laughs, the meals, and the good company without putting pressure on it to become something it doesn’t need to be yet. If it’s real, it’ll still be there later. If not, you still got good memories, cute gifts, and zero regrets.

Basically: no rush, no stress, no titles just vibes. And if future-you needs advice again well, AskApril will be waiting ..
