I am 20 years old and fell in love with a girl from my college. We were great friends two years ago. I recently told her about my feelings for her and, since then, she hasn't been behaving properly with me. I also told her to forget everything I said and asked if we could just be good friends, but she is still awkward around me and tries to ignore me. What should I do? I can't stop thinking of her.

Give her time. The awkwardness is common, especially if she doesn't reciprocate your feelings and is trying to find a way to deal with what you said. If you were once good friends, the only thing to do is be as friendly as possible when she is around, even if she avoids you, until she finds a way to put this behind her and renew the friendship you once had. You can only hope she values this relationship as much as you do. As for it ever going beyond just friendship, you don't need me to point out that it takes two people for a relationship to work. If she doesn't feel the same way you do, you will simply have to find a way to deal with it. The good thing is, you're 20. You may not remember her name a few years from now. A lot of us have been there.
My Facebook account was recently hacked and I think my ex-boyfriend had something to do with it. I have no proof though. What should I do?
Without proof, obviously, this is just speculation. If the person who hacked into your account damaged you in some way by posting something detrimental to your reputation, this is a crime and you can approach the cyber cell of your local
police station.
Should I date someone simply because my friends think we look good together?
No. Relationships aren't based on how good the selfies look when posted on Facebook.
