[quote=Anonymous]^agree with PPs! OP, I grew up with a girl with similar patterns of falling for men who didn't reciprocate and her parents made it 1000x worse by constantly telling her that sometimes men act like they don't like you when they do, that she should hold out hope and wait and see what happens, etc. She didn't have a boyfriend until her mid-twenties because she kept creeping after men who were only interested in being her friend. Not saying that this is a pattern for your daughter (maybe it's the first time it has happened) but now is not the time to coddle her. You don't have to be mean about it but I would be firm in saying "did he do anything to make you feel like he was interested?" And if her answers are he was nice to her and ate her cookies (lol) it's your job as her mother to let her know that she's misinterpreting friendship as something romantic. Better to figure it out now.[/quote]
