    If i wrote a lot i'm sorry. Any advice would be great.

    I took some of your advice and i decided to put my ex behind me and focus on things with Chris. Our feelings are starting to come out more and more each day. We told eachother how much we liked one another and more feelings started coming out from that point on. Here's the problem. Since he found out about my ex and i, he has been confused. They are good friends and because of that, my ex asked him to take care of me. Chris is afraid to like me because he thinks my ex is going to hurt him or stop being friends with him. We both agreed to just be good friends for now, but our feelings keep getting in the way of that. Now everytime we see eachother, we try to say something, but can't because we get nervous. He wants to take me to prom next year, and to see the sun set, but we're just friends and want to TRY and keep it that way. We both agree it's difficult and that we want to be more then just friends. I don't think i can just be friends with him because i feel like we're getting closer and my feelings are going to ruin it. I don't know what to do, or how to tell him. School ends in 3 weeks and i'm afraid that might have an impact on our friendship as well. We won't see eachother as often and we might drift a part. I like him a lot but i don't know what else i can do. He already knows how i feel about him. Pleas help.

    Well...love is love. If it's meant to be then why fight it? You'll never find out anything if you don't try it out!!

    Sit your ex down and talk to him about it. See how he feels. If you want, make the guys sit down and talk with eachother.

    I understand that you don't want things to go bad between the new guy and your ex since they are friends....but....that's why you need to talk to them both. You are only hurting yourselves to save one person...which is great....but...if it can be avoided....why do it? TALK TO THEM!!!

    I don't know if i'll be able to, but i can try. I don't get to see Chris outside of school very often and my ex lives out of the country. Thanks for the advice. I'll try and do what i can.

    If your ex lives out of the country....then what is the big deal? Date the new guy and just have fun with it!!! Seriously....knowing this sooner would of been better...but whatever...lol.

    I wouldn't worry about a boy that lives out of the country. If you are going to let that get in the middle of something that can amazing...then you really need to rethink your decision because if you let him get in the way of this one...then someone is always going to be in the way.

    Just go for it and have a great time.

    Let me just say one thing.

    In your life, you are faced with decisions that only you can make. You can ask us for advice, and sure enough we will help. But there are times you need to do it on your own. ITS YOUR LIFE. YOU LIVE IT. How else are you suppose to experience things, make mistakes and learn from them? Next time you are faced with a problem, try to figure it out on your own, if you can't then you can come seek help.

    Chris is the one who is scared to be in a relationship with me not the other way around. I really do need advice because i can't think and my friends arem't helping and i'm just confused. Finals are coming uo so i'm just going to focus on those because i can't afford to fail. Thanks for all the advice given.
