Well....ok theres this guy i really like,and have done for the past 2 years. Ive known him for over 9 years,and he`s been there with me through everything. Recently he sent me a text saying he liked me,but i didnt know to belive him or not so i didnt reply(i thought it was one of his friends or something). Now he wont look at me if i pass him in the corridoor,and in class doesnt sit anywhere near me. Any suggestions what to do? x
Just explaining yourself should work just fine. First, ask him if he did send the message and then explain that you thought it was a friend playing a trick. If he does like you, he should be understanding.
Go, talk to him, take all these matters in your own hands. If you don't, then do you think he will? Regardless of me not knowing him, I highly doubt that - because he's a boy, a teenage one more or less, he won't get to the problem first. And if he's avoiding you, then he's childish for doing so. If it's true that he says he likes you, then he'll stand up and listen when you say something. If he doesn't, well...he's not worth it.
If you like him then go talk to him, like everyone else has said. You will regret it if you don't and it is one big misunderstanding. I'm sure he'll listen and if you are still worried that it was his friend then either just risk it or casually ask him if it was him who sent the message. If he's worth it, he'll listen, he'll understand and everythnig will be fine. Otherwise you may loose a good friend as well.
I'm assuming he's been kind of avoiding you lately because he's just feeling odd that you didn't respond. That's assuming the text message was genuinely from him, though. My best recommendation would be to just bring it up kind of nonchalantly, be direct of course but don't make it a big deal, just ask him if he sent it. If he did, awesome. If not, well, too bad I guess. If it's a good time though it might be easiest to just tell him your feelings, being as your crush on him has lasted this long and you've known him for so long I doubt it's any trivial matter, and he deserves at the very least to know how you feel. Good luck. =]
Heya guys,I just want to thank all of you for giving me the....well confidebce i guess to go up and ask him did he send the text. And....yes he did! He said he had really liked me for ages,but was to scared to tell me in case I didnt feel the same. And then he reminded me again just why i have always likes him,by showing me poems and a song he had written about me. To cut a long story short.....I now have a boyfriend :D But really,thank you all,because I would have just avoided him,but you all told me not to. Love you all xxx
Congratulations! :) So happy to hear that everything worked out for you. I was following this thread, you see originally I was going to post advice too, but everyone else had pretty much covered everything I would have said, so there was no need.. Either way, you've sorted it now, so... Well done and congrats again! :)
