mickeymoose, hate to hear you're having some trouble...i've been having relationship troubles (mainly not being able to get a guy that i actually want) for the past 5 years. some have gotten me down worse than others, but i keep on truckin'. most of the times it's ME expressing my interest in the guys, which i hate, but i figure if i wait around for the guy to say anything, most likely nothing will be said, so i'm forced to get the guts to say something. most recently, the 20th to be exact, i expressed my interest in a guy that i've known for years and have found attractive for years, but have seen in a somewhat different light since about summer. he was shocked, and said he didn't really know what to say, so i asked him if he agreed with my feelings, disagreed with them, or was just too shocked to know and he says 'i don't really know. i don't think so.' immediately after, i felt really stupid for saying anything, but figured that it was something i had to do. we still seem to be friends, so my telling him hasn't seemed to affect much, which is good. i still like him. but you know what? we're both young..i'm a senior, he's a junior, both in HS. so maybe neither of us is ready for something serious. but to be honest, i'm tired of worrying with guys and relationships and all that...i have 2 months to be with my friends before we graduate, so that's what i'm gonna do. i'm not even going to attempt to hook up with a guy for a good, long time....course, i'll be heading to college this fall with a whole new group of guys, so Lord only knows what'll happen with that! point is, just try not to worry about it...what's really helped me is focusing on me. i focus on making myself happy and doing what i want to do and my goals in life. others may disagree, but i believe that YOU are the only person that can make YOU happy! make yourself the strongest, most confident, and overall best person you can be before trying to find Mrs. Right. i won't lie, it'll still be tough, but at the same time, it'll make things easier to bear. hope that helps! good luck!
