Teza answered Sunday January 15 2006, 3:06 am: Popular?? I see. Why does someone have to be popular to get other people to accept your decision? You can't help it if you like someone or not and you shouldn't have to. I know it's hard not to care about what people think but you really shouldn't. Sometimes people like to act like those people they see on tv and act like those popular people at school who doesn't want to hang out with someone because they like someone who isn't popular. You know what I mean? Anyways, I think he might like you but is also afraid to tell you the truth because he is afraid or rejection and I think you're the same way. You should defenetly tell him. If you're one of those popular chicks, he might feel okward and think "Why would someone like her ever like me?" My advice to you is to tell him how you feel and stop giving him hints because it might be teasing him or he just doesn't get it. If he doesn't like you, what will you loose? Nothing. Just keep flirting with him and be really nice and who cares about what those other people say because they're being very immature. Do what makes YOU happy not what will please others.

DirtySchmageggie answered Sunday January 15 2006, 1:37 am: just tell him before it gets too awkward to even talk to him anymore. if your friends really are "cool" then they will accept him and hopefully see in him what you see. if they don't accept him then they clearly aren't worth hanging out with at all.

Alpha345 answered Sunday January 15 2006, 1:14 am: I've been in your situation before.
Only in mine, social acceptance for liking the person (in my case, a girl) was not an issue. But I got to know a friend of mine over the summer and it got to the point where I considered her my best friend. We would talk alot and I got really caring of her. To the point where I was constantly looking to talk to her or see her, just to talk with her and see her again. The only thing was, she had promised herself she wasn't going to date anyone. While I realized this and accepted it, I tried to just blow off how much I cared for her. But...it got the point where I couldn't take not telling her about how much I cared for her and around October I finally broke myself down and told her everything. I was afraid if I did we wouldn't be friends anymore, and she would stop talking to me. It was the opposite and we are still good friends. Not like we were before (we both are usually very busy, so can't talk as much) but we are still good friends.
What does that long rant mean? It means you need to tell him. And find out what he thinks and feels about it. Tell him if he doesn't feel the same way, that you still want to be good friends. The longer you wait to say something, the more stressed and confused your going to get. Trust me on that, I know.
I hope this helps and you find what to do!

P.S. Don't worry if he is popular or not. You can tell the people who think that to screw off. You make your own decisions, don't let them be influenced by what is "cool" and what is not. [ Alpha345's advice column | Ask Alpha345 A Question ]
