How can I reach my New year resolution?

This year I became Friends w/ someone that started to mean a lot to me. He said he didn't want a gf at the time... any way now that its all over he has a gf and doesn't really talk to me. I know that he'll be around in my activities and common friends we have and i want to at least be able to get along with him in groups of people. But i don't really now how to make things less awkward and get rid of frustration i have with him sometimes.

    It is hard to get rid of that frustration, especially if he is ignorant to it.

    My humble advice to you is just focus on yourself. You're more important. Do things you like to do, treat yourself to nice things, be yourself, move on.

    The frustration you feel could be a result of many things that I won't pretend to know. I personally feel it when I've been denied or made a fool of. Or if I don't think the person is being very intuitive about the way I am feeling. Again, you can't "fix" this, but you can just brush it off and walk on with the "no worries" attitude. Time WILL heal the gross feeling you have inside about it.

    If he means a lot to you, I know some of these things are hard to do, but you've got to prioritize your relationships and do what is emotionally healthy for you anyways.

    I have to say...it seems like he just lied to you when he said he didn't want a girlfriend, he just didn't want you. That's kind of dishonest and cowardly. It hurts sometimes but honesty is best.

    Hope you stay happy. :-)

    That's really sweet of you to want to get to know someone better. I would take it in little baby steps, building up one at a time. First, you would simply say hi in the hallways or when you see him. If you see him in a group, make eye contact and smile. Start with making small comments, like how the weather is, or how much fun you had when you hung out with your friend yesterday, or ask what his favorite type of music is. Even if it's a lame comment, (like the ones I gave you) it will help ease tension and show that you just want to be friends. Once you get to know him better, I'm sure that you'll find he's a pretty good person. If he's not, then just move on. You'll be able to make it from here, and good luck!

    I think you just shouldnt go on to him about the times before that you've had, just approach him and act like you would to any other friend with him, and your friendship should heal up and start to get better, and then if you want to talk about the times you have had before then do it once your relatioship with him is a little less arkward.

    if u don't really like him then u have to find an other boy. if u like him, try offering him help, giving him things that might make him happy or you can just find him and say something to him like i like you
