"I just can't see him as a boyfriend, only a friend. I like him and do not want him to feel bad. I don't know what to do!_Hello Rachel!\n\n One day, my best friend confessed to me that he liked me a lot and that he would do anything to become my boyfriend.\n\n I was not sure because I didnt feeling anything for him. I gave him a chance and hoped things would get better with time.\n\n Now its been a month and I still don't feel anything towards him. He is very affectionate but I dont reciprocate. I am worried about what other people might say. They are going to judge me. When I see him, I know I should get excited but nothing happens. I just can't see him as a boyfriend, only a friend.\n\n I like him and do not want him to feel bad. I don't know what to do!\n\n Vanessa\n\n_ Dear Vanessa,\n\n Welcome to life as a girl: We dont want people to be mad at us. We want to be nice. We dont want to hurt peoples feelings. The only problem is that we end up helping everyone else at our own expense. We protect others feelings but end up suffering on our own.\n\n So now youre dating this guy who you clearly arent into beyond friends. All to avoid getting judged or hurting him. Thats a huge load to carry, just to protect someones feelings."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
