My first posting to this place, and boy do I need the help. There should be a book for this sort of thing (there probably is).
It's pretty much the regular. I like this boy, and he likes me back. Except I've liked him since last year, when we had Spanish together. But we never said a word to each other. Then near the end of this year, we became friends. We got pretty close, and were openly flirty with one another.
Nothing was official though, and I was getting a little confused about this whole thing. He had told one of my friends that he liked me back, but he didn't want to screw up our friendship. So, I didn't know what to do. Or what to think. But last night, I finally got the courage to tell him how I feel - it was really hard for me. And then he said it, I knew it was how he felt, but it still hurt. "Let's just be friends." We like each other, but he doesn't want to be anything more than pals, because of a past relationship he had.
So I guess, really, I just don't know how to behave around him now. I don't want to lose his friendship, he's an amazing guy. But, do I stop acting how I was? Do I not flirt because it's established we're just friends? Am I allowed to talk about other boys now? I've never been in a situation like this, so I'm here for help. I think I just need to know the guidelines for this sort of situation.
