Should I forget him?
I confessed to my crush that I liked him, and he said he liked me too. We were together for one month. But at the beginning of this year he met another girl and now he is her boyfriend. We both talk but I just can’t forget him; it’s just so annoying! Should I try to get him back or should I forget him?

Dear Vaidehi, the relationship you had with that boy is just a “crush”, a sudden emotional attraction which is called infatuation. The proof is that as soon as he got infatuated with another girl he became her boyfriend. After some time he may do the same with other girls. At your tender age it is better to enjoy simple friendships rather than pretending to build permanent relationships for which you are not yet ready. Be aware that you too may get infatuated with some other boy!
