Can six years be forgotten?
I have liked the same boy for six years. As we get older, I learn more and more about him. We have grown up in the same small town, we went to the same school, we run in the same crowds. For a year, he was in a long term relationship with a girl who turned out to be too demanding. I always thought I would be jealous if he were in a relationship and I would do anything to sabotage it. However, I was okay with it - I think it was because he was happy. I recently had a conversation with one of our mutual male friends. I was explaining how hard it is to like him because I have wanted him for so long but he shows no interest in anything other than small talk. It may be because he is afraid of another relationship. My friend told me that I should find someone else because he is a typical "meathead jock." He said that I am too cool to waste energy on him. I really want to listen to his advice but six years is a long time. I don't know if I can ever lose the feelings I have for him even knowing how he really is. He hates confrontations and working things out. He puts all his energy into athletics while maintaining average academic marks. He is the baby of the family. Can I ever forget him?
