  Relationships  
Question
Dear Dr. M & Liz,
Help! I just made a fool out of myself asking my crush out when he had a girlfriend. He and I used to be best friends until that happened. How should I fix it? HELP ME PLEASE!

—Olivia, 13, Connecticut

Advice
Dear Olivia,
Everyone makes mistakes, so try to forgive yourself for the one you made. Continue to act like the best friend you have always been, and in time, he'll probably be able to go back to his role as your best friend. And if he's interested in being more than a friend, he'll find a way to let you know.
—Dr. M

Dear Olivia,
Things might be awkward at first between the two of you, so I would suggest only spending time with him in groups for a while. Once it's clear that you're just interested in being friends with him, your friendship should return to normal.
—Liz
