Dear Colleen,
I have loved this boy since February last year. We had a lot in common so we became friends quickly but he started going out with another girl in April. Nobody had known he loved her; not even his best friend. After a few days he realized I loved him because I was crying a lot and all. Starting then, when I was sad, he always came and said he was sorry and that he didn't mean to hurt me. He said I'm his friend so he cares about me. Then he broke up with the other girl over the summer.
He started acting like he actually loved me. All my friends told me I better confess, so I decided to do it, in November. For several days I sent him love poems.
These days he still doesn't talk to me much but he keeps coming near me, although not as much as before. However when his mate is nearby I've noticed he gets meaner to me. I don't know what to do. What do all these mixed signals mean? Should I ask him to go somewhere with me, just the two of us? Should I confess one more time?

Answer:
Dear 15 in Coffs,
Gee, that was detailed. I don't think it is necessary for you to confess how you feel anymore to him. He knows how you feel. (and if he doesn't he's dumber than a bag of hair) It sounds like he doesn't know how HE feels. Love is a VERY strong word that most people throw around far too lightly. It sounds like he experienced this in his last relationship and doesn't want to go there again for awhile. You all have had plenty of alone time since you told him how you felt and wrote those poems. If he didn't step up to the plate then I doubt asking him to spend some alone time with you will work now. You need to move on. Why waste your love somewhere where it isn't returned? You're very young, darlin. Don't worry. True love will find you.
Sincerely,
Colleen
Dear Colleen,
Hi, I have a new girlfriend that I really like and I want to give her a gift, not something that is to extreme, but something that she will really like. She likes cats, does that help you any?

Dear Marty,
I think its great you want to get her something for her birthday. Maybe a charm bracelet with cute kittens on it? I am sure whatever you get her she will love it since its from you! Good luck!
Sincerely,
Colleen
That's it for now, I'll see you soon,
Colleen
