Hi, I’m a sixteen year old girl, who is pretty inexperienced in love, but I think I’m in love with my best friend, we’ll call him ‘Chris’. We met a few months ago, but we clicked instantly, and we’re really close. The thing is, he’s really weird, and doesn’t act like most guys. He’s always making jokes, and he’s the funniest person most people at our school have ever met. He’s also really popular, because he’s really good looking. We have almost all of our classes together, and we talk in all of them. We also eat lunch together, and after school he calls me at least seven or eight times and we can talk for hours. He’s told me that I’m the only one who understands him, but I never know if he’s being serious. However, two days ago, he started dating a friend of mine, who we’ll call ‘Abby’, which made me really upset. I don’t understand why he’s dating her, and why he likes her instead of me, however immature that sounds. I actually introduced the two of them. Last week, I went home with him after school and we hung out and talked for hours. He could have invited Abby, but he chose to invite me instead. He was actually being serious for once, and when we were walking around he looked at me, laughed, and said, “You’re actually kinda pretty” out of nowhere. My other friend, who we’ll call “Sally” called Chris last night and asked him why he liked Abby, and he said “I don’t know.” She also asked why he was dating her instead of me, to which he replied, “I can see myself with her when we’re older.” Please help me, I don’t know what to do.
