Why does everything have to be so complicated?

I have two best guy friends. We all had 7th period together last semester but this semester I got switched out. I still try to walk with them but they don't wait for me. One of them said that they like like me. I was shocked so I kept asking if it was a joke. He said he was serious. The next day I told him I liked him. (We were talking through facebook). It's been like 4 weeks and he tells me he likes this other girl. Where does that leave me? He was acting strange so I kept asking him and he finally told me this. I don't get why he says he likes me and then does nothing about it. Help! My other guy friend is almost clueless about the whole thing but he knows that the other guy likes me.

I'll just type in their first letter so you won't get confused. (E) likes me. (Z) other guy friend.

I walk with Z to 3 classes and see him between 6th and 7th. I also see E but now I am not talking to him to see if he even wants to talk to me anymore. I feel that he only talks if I ask him something first.

I am not the kind of girl that just clings to a guy. I have many guy friends because there just more exciting to be around than girls. I don't even like it when they hug me. I don't get close with guys because I am afraid of getting hurt. And now thanks to my "friend" I feel like a wrecked ship or and emotional hurricane.

If you have any questions that might help you help me please just ask!

Life is complicated when people make it that way. One of the foremost ways of complicating your life is to have expectations for how all of the people around you should act. When they don't act that way, it becomes frustrating. There is another way that will eliminate much of the confusion. Just accept them as they are. They are young and inexperienced guys; probably trying to figure the girls out as much as you're trying to figure them out.

All of you are in training for adulthood. Lasting relationships are a bond between two people who accept each other. You can't just pick out a guy and expect him to dance the way you want. It works much better if you can dance with a number of them until you find the one that dances your way naturally.
