Q: Even though he treated me like a casual friend, I’ve fallen in love with my schoolmate whom I met six months ago.
I knew he was only kidding when he said I owed him three kisses after he sought my help with his project.
After I had given him two pecks on the cheek, he wanted the last one to be on the mouth.
I refused and fought him but still he forced it on my lips. I went home angry. He called to apologize but also asked to discontinue our friendship.
When we met in school, he refused to talk. I wanted to patch things up but he was not interested.
— Hurt
A: This boy sounds very much like a potential jerk, doesn’t he? It has turned out good for you, I should think.
You are both too young to handle the situation anyway. You were right to discourage him in his attempt to get more physically intimate with you.
And since he has indicated he is no longer in the friendship with you, it will be best you accept the situation. Write off the experience and move on.
Try to think that it’s not such a big deal. You have a whole lifetime ahead of you to make new friends and develop more meaningful relationships.
You ought to stand firm, never to allow yourself to be forced into something you are not ready for. It applies now and also in the future.
Try not to regret your decision to stop him as it took both strength and courage to do so. You had both.
Put this episode behind you and don’t let it hurt you. You have done nothing wrong. In fact you have done good.
