My best friend is of the opposite gender

Kate_20

My mum said that it is all my fault that I cannot make my best friend of the opposite gender my boyfriend. She said that that is because I shared everything with him in the past (including asking his opinions about if I should be in a relationship with other guys) so that I am not attractive. She does not understand our friendship. She thinks that I am not mature enough to have a boyfriend.

Hey @Kate_20

I am so sorry to hear your mum said this to you

I think friends of the opposite gender can just stay friends!

You don't force love. I think recognising this makes you more mature

Hi @Kate_20

Sorry to hear that. Do want your best friend to be your boyfriend or are you happy to be friends? I agree with @Laura_tigger82 , friends of the opposite gender can happily be friends and that doesn't need to change to live up to other peoples expectations. Also, whether you are ready for a boyfriend or not, that is completely up to you! Everyone has a different timeline and sometimes slow and steady wins the race
