Question
I am in love with my friend. I have moved on but im still crazy about her. I cant see a picture of her without getting sad because im not with her. She won't give me a chance and i dont know how to convince her to. im only fourteen so i know that your first response will be 'oh this is just some little boy with a crush' but it's different because there literally isnt anything i wouldnt to for her. when im around her i feel everything at once. Im sad, happy, depressed, excited, nervous, anxious, shy, outgoing, and everything in between. What can i do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Answer
Love is a mighty thing, and anyone who says "you are just a boy with a crush" has never experienced the love you are experiencing. You are blessed to feel it so young and I hope you feel it again! You may always love this person, even if you are not together romantically, or as a couple. There is just something that connects you, that you might not be able to explain. Be there for her, enjoy the feelings, and try not to get weird and stalker-like. Keep it friendly if that is what she needs, and enjoy the feelings. Do not lose touch because you may always feel this way.
