- Hmmm... I wouldn't exactly call it "boy-disease". It's just a way of
- life. 8-( This does happen to both sexes, despite what some people may think.
- The best thing to do is to go on to someone else. (IMHO)

- In my opinion, one tends to make members of the opposite sex a bit
- uncomfortable when one suddenly confronts the other person about his/her
- feelings for the other person. (gee, I think I suceeded in confusing myself)
- Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that sometimes we confuse friendliness with
- romantic interests. Most people you have a crush/flame/involvement/thing...etc
- with WON'T always feel the same about you. What do you do? YOU MOVE ON...
-
- Don't bother to wallow in your own self pity. The easiest thing in
- the world to do is to get a SO, the hardest thing to do is to find a SO that
- you can truly care about. Just be patient, but more importantly, be yourself.
- There are 5 billion people on this planet; chances are you will find someone
- that meets your criteria. If this guy isn't interested, then SO WHAT? I'm
- sure that there are many other guys you know that are BETTER. Hey, who knows?
- He just might be lurking around in your life... you never know...
- I wish you two the best of luck! 8-)
