Amanda's Advice

Q: Dear Amanda,
There is this guy that I’m totally in love with. He is super cute and really talented. I’ve known him for a while now and admire all there is to him. We seem so right for each other. I write him often because we live far apart. He hasn’t been writing me back and I’m starting to worry that he doesn’t even know I exist anymore. Our first encounter was magical; he even sang me a song. He is family- oriented and very close to his older and younger brothers. I know these siblings of his, and they are just as sweet as he, but none can compare to him. I feel like Joe and I are growing apart; there is even a rumor of his seeing other girls. He is also on the road with Hannah Montana and it is getting harder to keep tabs on him because of the “fame.” Joe Jonas is the love of my life; what is there to do?

A: Dear Cali Mennja,
Well, it definitely sounds like you are a little love struck. Now, the fact that your love is Joe Jonas does make things a little more complicated than most situations because of his growing fame. However, if you have known him for a while now and are close with his siblings too, then that does help. There are thousands of girls who would love to know him and have the encounters with Joe that you have had, and the truth is, there might be others who have had those “moments” with him. The rumors that you have heard could be just that: rumors. If you do not know for certain, then I would simply recommend asking him yourself; and tell him to be completely honest.

I can understand that it must be hard for you to keep in touch in with someone who lives far away and is constantly traveling. Maybe you can try talking more over the phone. Sending a quick text to someone simply to tell them that you are thinking of them can really make their day and help them not to lose sight of how much you care for that person. The fact that he is family-oriented is a positive quality to have and something that is not as common nowadays. Try showing him the ways that you and your family are close, this will be attractive to him, just like it is for you. Relationships are definitely more complicated when one or both of the people is famous, but it is manageable. You just have to learn to be strong and not let what others say affect what you know is true. Don’t forget that even if things don’t work out, you will have plenty of time to find love again. It sounds like you go for the guys who are musical, outgoing, and love their family. There are many guys out there like this, so if Joe isn’t the one for you, be patient because love can find you, too. Just remember this; stay honest with him and stay honest with yourself.
