I, uh, I don't know if I'd call it love!

[He chuckles nervously.]

It's just that I think she's really pretty, and I care about her a lot.

[deus_ex_phs]

Ahh.

[There's a smile in Kunsel's voice now.]

Well, I think my advice still applies. You can still care about her, even if it doesn't look like it'll ever be more than that. Maybe it will help if you tell yourself it's a different kind of caring. As a friend, for instance, or a partner, or whatever your relationship with her is.

[armoured]

I know we're friends, and I'll never stop being her friend no matter what else happens. I just wish I could stop caring about her this way too, because I know she's never going to look at me like that.

[The woes of teenage heartbreak.]

[deus_ex_phs]

I'm not sure what else I can say besides give it time. More time. It's not something you can fix overnight. Sometimes it might take years, and maybe never go away at all. But it'll get better someday. That's all I can tell you.

[armoured]

It's okay, it helps to have talked about it at all. Thanks, Kunsel, and I hope you find a girlfriend too.

[deus_ex_phs]

Same to you, Al. And you can always talk to me, anytime.
