“im just a teen girl, 16 year old, struggling with my mental health, taking sessions from my counsellor, and there is this guy i like, well he likes me back too, but he's older, like 21 right now, and of different religion. we confessed we like each other, but ofcourse we cant do anything bout it if we think about future compliacations. so we decided to stay just friends. we spent a lot of time together and we both loved it. he's so affentionate in person but a total different person over text. it feels as if he dont like me anymore. he just dry texts, its always me who initates the conversation and im tired of it. im jiust so confused bout him. idk what to do, even tho ik we wont have anything together”

Heyy, if you know that the future holds nothing for this situation then just stop putting the efforts your are putting right now. The texts and all. Treat him like a normal friend no special treatment. Also you are 16 right now, you would soon go to college there you will meet a lot of people and in life many more you will meet ahead. He is not the only one in this world and when you know nothing can happen you should let it go. If still it keeps messing your mind just start to talk less with him. Get involved in some sort of activities, keep yourself busy, talk to others, make more friends and when it comes to love you can surely find someone ahead.
