    There's this guy I've liked for a while. I have no idea if it's a mutual feeling, but I've gotten clues that it could possibly be. Anyway, he lives around 40 minutes away from me and because of that, I tried as hard as I could to quit thinking about him. I'm 16 years old and don't have my license or a job so even thinking of liking someone 40 minutes away is not a good idea for me.

    But because I tried to move on, I felt like meeting someone new would be a good way to forget about the guy. This other guy sent me a request on Facebook and then messaged me. We talked for a while and he started flirting with me. I thought it was mutual, so I started flirting back and we began talking on the phone. I was 100% positive that I liked him for a while. But now that I've started picturing us together as a couple, I don't know if I feel the same. We're complete opposites; everything that I do offends him. I basically can't be myself around him. My friends keep pushing me to give him a chance because he's an extremely responsible person. He's really smart and does the right thing.

    I told him that I wasn't sure how I felt after a while of us talking. But when I saw my friends the night after I said that, they convinced me that he's a good influence on me and that I need to give him a chance. So I ended up texting him and talking about how there could possibly be something between us at some point. The next morning, I thought about it again and realized how unhappy and lonely I was with him.

    So, because of feeling lonely, I started thinking about the other guy again. His friends have been adding me on every social network, which really makes me think that there's a mutual feeling. Thinking about him, I feel happy and like we have a chance. We have common interests and the same sense of humor about a lot of stuff.

    I feel like my problem is pretty clear at this point. I just have no idea how to get out of the situation I've gotten myself into :bang:

    I think that the first guy sounds worth it, even if he's 40 minutes away. If you can hardly stand the other guy, that doesn't sound like a good situation to be in. If the first guy likes you back, if you explain things to him, he'll understand.
