DEAR ABBY: I'm 18 and have never had a boyfriend. I really, really like a boy from church, but I don't know how to approach him. He has a job and is in his second year of college.
We're good friends, but he's so busy with work and school that I never see him, not even on Sundays. It's upsetting. I'd really like to be more than friends. What should I do? -- CRUSHING IN INDIANA
DEAR CRUSHING: Because of the schedule he is on, I don't think you have much choice other than to wait until his classes end and he's on holiday or summer break. In the meantime, do not put your life on hold. Stay busy with friends and other activities, and who knows? You may meet somebody else who's also interesting.
