The Love Doctor

Dear Love Doctor,

I am 9 years old and I think this girl at school likes me. She is always making excuses to be near me. Everytime I look there she is. I don’t like girls. They can never be friends with boys. I have a lot of friends. She is trying to take them away. I will be hanging out with a friend, she shows up and my friend decides he has to leave. How do I get her to leave me alone?

Signed,

Girl in the way

Dear Girl,

I see your problem, and I can tell you that its not serious. The girl likes you. She wants to be with you. At your age, boys aren’t really into girls and it can seem like they are trying to sabotage your friendships. They are just competing with them for time with you. You could talk to her and let her know your feelings. She might just back off. Another alternative would be for you to ask her to allow some time with you alone, while still maintain your time with your friends. One day soon, you will find that you like girls (or boys!) and then the world will make sense. In the meantime try to see her as a possible friend rather than an evil person. Sometime girls are a boy’s best friend!


Hope this helps,

The Love Doctor
