Q: What do you do when your best friend likes you?
A:
- Have a talk with them, gently affirming your boundaries.
- If they’re still being pushy, clarify that you’re strictly friends. If they can’t respect that, reevaluate your friendship completely. Should you even hang around this person?
- Remember to be clear but kind.
Q: How do you know if you like someone?
A: Having a crush and liking someone can be two different things. Normally, it happens like this:
- Your heart starts to flutter and you get butterflies when you see them.
- You get nervous and can’t act like a normal person around them.
- You somehow happen to see them everywhere (usually at the worst times possible).
- You think about them extensively, and everything reminds you of them.
Ultimately, everyone reacts differently. But when you like someone, your heart can always tell you the truth about how you really feel.
XOXO,
Mo
