Dear Auntie Kate:I'm a 14 year old female and I have a problem. Well, I told my 2nd cousin how I feel about him and he has the same feelings for me too but, the only thing is I thought we were going to be more closer but it seems like we're more apart. I want us to be like,well... boyfriend and girlfriend like but,he hasn't even kissed me yet. Even though he had many chances to. Can you please tell me whats up with him and please give me advice on how I could tell him I want more of our relationship?
Name: sad girl
Dear SadGirl,
Welcome to the almost adult world of unrequited love. As you say, it's
sad.
I am afraid dear that perhaps your little cousin just doesn't feel
the way
he says, or perhaps he's responding to social convention and pressure.
Fourteen is a very difficult time for young men, as well as young women.
You know, SG, that if you just hang around and be his cool, best bud
you
might find that as his desires, social and emotional skills develop,
they
develop right into that sweet relationship you want!
Patience dear! Don't be demanding or too forward. Just forward
enough so he
knows you want his attention.
Your naughty
Aunt Kate
