A Reader Responds:
The girl is young, dealing with new feelings, and really
inexperienced. So she screwed up. Who doesn't? But keep
in mind that she never set out to hurt Hector. She just
didn't know what to do.
She Liked Him A Lot As A Friend
I mean, when Hector professed his love to her, she obviously
wasn't ready for a romantic relationship with him, but liked
him tons as a friend.
Everyone knows that dating can spoil some really great
friendships (not all of them, but...) She didn't handle
the situation well, but there is no good solution for this
one. She couldn't MAKE herself love him enough to date him.
I'm Surprised By Your Hostility
Props for telling her to move on, but I was surprised at
the way you said it. Just remember, the girl's just out
of high school. She's already learning a lesson from the
way Hector treated her, and I think she understands that
she got what she deserves.
Why all the hostility? She's just a kid!
