What's he saying


Question Posted Thursday August 10 2006, 9:36 am

15/f
Ok, so i liked a guy same old story. blah. well i wrote him a letter because he was leaving the next day and i couldn't say it in person. well he wrote me back. Here's the letter

my name here,

Thanks for the letter. It takes guys to come out and say something like you said. have you ever read Proverbs 27:5? "Open rebuke is better than secret love." I guess that it is best to just come out with stuff like that. To be honest, when I was a freshman, I had a crush on ___ who was a senior. So I've been in the same boat. I do like the fact that you are different from most girls. You have a good testimony. Don't blow it, build on it..... (some stuff about hanging around with some people)

Well, "Have a good summer" (making fun of something i said in my letter) and enjoy your THREE more years of school.

(his name here) SO is it a good rejection letter, and open ended letter, or what? He's home now and im nervous about talking to him.

i think hes just trying to say that u guys would be better off as friends.. thats probably the nicest way a guy could put a "lets just be friends", most guys are like UM NO LETS JUST BE FRIENDS, I DONT LIKE YOU LIKE THAT.. but he actually took the time to write that to you. so yeah talk to him obv hes not mad or anything =)

I'm thinking it's a nice rejection letter. I'm also thinking this guy is a bit of a patronising eejit, sorry! Obviously i'm only judging from this one letter but that Bible quote is kinda harsh and telling you "don't blow" your "good testimony" just sounds very preachy and impersonal to me. Frankly he sounds like a guy I know and I can just hear that irritating tone...

ANYWAY, the best way to deal with this i think is to just carry on as normally as possible- the more you act confident and calm about it the easier it will e and sooner it will be forgotten about. If you don't talk to him this will be the last memory he holds of you! Thinking of it like that will probably promt you to communicate somehow!

Seriously, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, you gave it a shot, he pretty politely declined and there's really no reason you still can't have a friendship if you're ok with that. Good luck x

I'd say its a nice rejection letter.

Just be yourself around him. Don't let the things he said get to you. Theyr are always other guys out there so keep your eyes open. Just try not to bring the letter up around him and act normal.

hope i helped =]

i wouldnt say it was rejection i just think that it was just a friendly letter saying that he has had the same thing so hes not saying no but hes not saying yes. if you are a freshman than that is a pretty big age difference. but dont act any different around him. just be yourself & act like nothing ever happened. he'll come around hopefully.

I would say it is, [rejection letter]
because he made fun of stuff you said,
and said "So I've been in the same boat"..
You know?
And dont be nervous around him,
just act normal,
because if you act weird he will too..<3
