Dear Girl,

I am 16, male, single and I like a girl. Her name is Amelia and she doesn't like me as much as I like her. She tends to go out with the year above me! What should I do about the situation?

Signed In Love.

Dear In Love,

Yes, a common scenario for most of us! I am most curious, however, to know on what have you based your conclusion that Amelia doesn't like [you] as much as [you] like her? If you have based your conclusion on mere inference, bad interpretation of body language, and/or a dose of low self-esteem than I strongly suggest that you talk to Amelia about your feelings for her as soon as practical. If, however, you have directly spoken with her and her response has been negative, then you must accept and respect her present decision, however hard this may be. Try not to take it personally though. Attraction is somewhat an enigma! Yes, it may take time to get over the situation but there are ways around love's misfortunes. Remind yourself of the many positive experiences to look forward to in your life - friends, partying, travel, your career, meeting more girls!!!!! Alternatively, if you are a risk-taker, then you may like to get to know or reacquaint yourself with an older friend/s of Amelia; a means to get closer to her. Be prepared, however, for possible disappointment as the game of love can be cruel. If you choose this latter option, remember selling your soul is not the option. Do not change your values, goals and aspirations for anyone, not even Amelia!
