She almost loves him
Sabrina, 13, from Georgia, asks:
I play around with this boy at my school named Micheal, and I think he may have the idea that I like him. We almost seem to have a lot in common; we always make fun of each other, and make each other laugh. But I think he's not interested in me the way I am in him, just because I'm black, and I (supposedly), have big lips. Practically because I'm ugly. (You could say.) But I really, REALLY like him, almost love him, What should I do?
VictorM's advice:
First off you should give up the idea that you're ugly or that big lips are a problem (lots of women pay lots of money to have full lips, Angelina Jolie being one famous example). What about Kerry Washington? She's gorgeous, including her lips. If you see some of her movies, she doesn't hide them, she flaunts them. And rightly so.
So, even if someone doesn't like your lips, so what? You can't expect everyone to have good taste.
The thing is, Sabrina, that boys your age, for the most part, aren't into the boy-girl thing yet. Boys generally take longer to discover the opposite sex and are somewhat afraid to explore it. So they do a lot of talking but deep down, they aren't ready.
So, be his friend, continue to have fun and laugh with him. Maybe your friendship will turn into love, maybe it won't, but having a friend you love being with is one of the nicest things on the planet. Enjoy it.
