I have to agree with wreeves on this one. It’s really important to take yourself out of the equation at times like this. It might feel counter-intuitive, but it really does work

Find a place you can volunteer at for even a few hours a week over the course of this summer - an animal shelter, a homeless shelter, read to sick kids - whatever. Even if you don’t like it it will teach you something about yourself, but odds are you WILL like it.

You should also exercise as much as possible - it’s the best way to cheer yourself up!

You should also buy the album “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel. It’s an album everyone your age should listen to. If you don’t like it the first time, keep listening. It’s a ******* amazing album.

Yeah, he definitely likes you!

If you don’t like him back then I’d say just try and be sensitive (to some extent) and hopefully he’ll get over it.

I think that you shouldn’t rush into anything. It’s important to plan out a big change like this. The Blanchard’s 5 step DREAM program really has helped me make two big changes recently, one personal and one professional. You may not have time to look at it now and think about it, but even if you do decide to do this big change quickly I think when you get to NYC you might wanna spend some time on their website: http://livewhatyoulove.com/ they offer a lot of positive and practical advice about making your life a happy (or happier) one. Good luck to you, please keep us posted!
