Q: I really like this boy in my grade (not romantically) and I really want to be friends with him. But every time I try and talk to him, he acts all strange! How do I get closer to him? I really only want to be friends.

A: If you believe he is misinterpreting your intentions, you should have a conversation with him. Make sure to clarify that you just want to be his friend. Dialogue is always the most effective way to bring clarity to a situation. However, if he continues to act strange, it might just be because he doesn’t necessarily want to be your friend. If your friendship starts to feel forced, you probably shouldn’t continue to force it.

Hope I could help 🙂
