In The Middle
Dear Guidance Guy,
I have two friends. One is a boy and the other a girl. They both secretly like each other. I know they are in love with each other because they both told me seperately they like the other.
Here's the problem: Both their parents won't let them date until they are 16 and I can't get them to tell the other one that they like each other. I know I shouldn't force them, but It's really annoying how they don't tell the other when they both know they like each other. The biggest problem of all though, is that I like the boy (I'm a girl).
Sincerely,
Stuck In The Middle and In Love With It Too

Dear Stuck,
If your two friends are too shy to talk to each other about their feelings, they aren't ready to date. And nothing you do or say to them is going to change that. Only time will.
If the problem is that you're annoyed by them both talking about this to you, you can change the subject or just tell them you don't think it's a good idea for you to be in the middle. Since you like the boy also, it must not be a lot of fun to hear from your female friend how much she likes him.
And if you like him enough to do something about it, let him know how you feel. You don't have to put your feelings on hold because your friend isn't ready to let him know how much she likes him.
Thanks for your letter,
The Guidance Guy
