In-love sa kanyang cousin

Dear Dr. Love,

Just call me Trish, 21 years-old, and is now into a stupid situation.

I've never been into a commitment but I tried being in love and be loved in return.

I've been in love with my second cousin. I'd like to believe the feeling is mutual. High school days ko pa lang, nandito na ang feelings na ito. He is two years older than me.

The hope is always there but I hate naman to expect for nothing. He is into various relationships and that really hurts me a lot. I've been seeing him staring at me every now and then but was that enough basis? Woman's instinct would always tell me meron but until now, wala pa rin.

The worst thing is that I just hate to admit that I love him. I am suffering emotionally because I've been consistently denying the feelings but what can I do? Umiiwas na nga ako para makalimutan ko na siya pero I keep longing for him naman.

Tell me what am I suppose to do. Baka kasi mali lang ako ng interpretasyon. Do you think it's about time to forget my feelings for him? How will I do it?

I met another guy thinking makakalimutan ko na siya. Pero hindi pala.

Trish

Dear Trish,

For a woman, it's sweeter when the man of her dreams would propose love. In that way, there is confirmation that the feeling of affection is really mutual.

Body language alone may not be enough to conclude that you are loved. Hindi ko naman mai-advise na magpakita ka ng motibo dahil nakakababa ng dangal ng isang babae.

If you think you've waited long enough to no avail, I guess it's about time to forget him. Hindi imposible yan, siguro medyo mahirap lang.

Sino ba yung isang mahal mo pa? Ibaling mo ang iyong pansin sa kanya and focus on his best qualities para lalong tumingkad ang feelings mo sa kanya.

Dr. Love
