Relax, enjoy the friendship, can or not?

Q: The reason we became close is that he is different from other guys I know. He is caring, understanding, humourous and a gentleman.

And I have started to develop some feelings for him. For one, I miss him when he is not around.

Even though my friends have commented that we are not compatible, as he is younger, shorter, not good-looking and skinny, I don’t think we ought to judge a person by mere appearance.

I have no intention to start a relationship as my studies come first. But recently I can’t seem able to concentrate and am wondering whether he is the cause of it.

Confused and lonely I am when he is not around.

A: Have you double checked that he feels the same towards you?

Then, first thing you should do is to stop worrying about what others say and make your decision on your own priorities.

Understand that there is such a thing as relax and enjoy the friendship as there is no immediate need to commit yourselves. Who ever had said at your age you ought to commit? No such thing.

At your age romance should be sweet and light-hearted, something that makes you happy. Not sad or worried.
