But I Do Like Him! How Can I Get Him Back?

I broke up with this guy at the end of the year thinking we weren't going to see each other! I found out when school started again that I really miss him, and also found out I still liked him (A LOT)!!! His sister is my sister's best friend, and she told me that he still likes me, too, but he doesn't want to get hurt again! So, the question is, how do I show him that I really like him, and that I won't hurt him again? - Savannah, 12, USA

"Hey, Savannah!" Hi! Sounds like you have a major BF problem. Well, now that you know he likes you but doesn't want to get hurt by you, all you have to do is convince him that you won't hurt him again.

First thing you need to do is sit down and think; you don't want to rush into a relationship again right after one or both of you have been hurt. Think about the reason you broke up. Was it just because you wouldn't see each other or is there something a little more?

Think about how much you like him and how much you liked him when you didn't see him. Did you like him more when you found out he liked you too? If you think you have liked him the whole time pretty much, then you may be ready to try your relationship again.

Do you think you'll break up with him again at the end of the year if you might not see each other again? If you might, you might not wont to try the realtionship. Not to be rude or anything, but I wouldn't want you to hurt him again and risk losing him forever.

First talk to him, then try to become friends, so no matter what you can still be friends. Then talk to him about it, and tell him exactly how you feel about him and the whole situation. Once he hears your side, he might want to try and be your BF again. But remember, don't rush!
