Dear Vanessa and Angela Simmons;

First off i love your shoes i just got a new pair for my b-day!!!

So i was friends with this boy in 7th grade lets call him Jack Jr, so i asked him to go with me in the 8th grade and the relationship was at first rocky then the summer came and we both fell in love(he told me that he loved me and I told him the same).  We ended up going to different schools for high school.  We were doin fine at first then he started actin different, so we broke up after 9 months together.  during the first few months we were still in love and then he got a new gf but that didnt last either.  now it has been almost 5 months since we broke and i am still in love with him, but i dont think he loves or even likes me. we’re still best friends like before but i dont want to ruin that by tryin to get with him if he dont want to I, just want to know but dont want to ruin what we have? what should i do? i know i should ask him but are their anyways to tell if he is still interested?

Our advice: There is no sense wondering. Find out! If you two are still close you should be able to express your feelings without destroying the friendship you have. You have to be sure you will be comfortable with whatever his answer is. It may get a bit fuzzy with being friends with your ex, but it can be a meaningful relationship that endures and even blossoms to something more. At this time, accept him as a friend. Don’t pressure him because it will scare him off as a bf and friend. Play it cool.
