I like him but I'm afraid to hurt him.


Question Posted Tuesday October 2 2007, 11:10 pm

Tell him that I'm on the verge of certainty and uncertainty on whether or not I like him and I don't want to go either way right now because either way I go, I'll probably end up hurting him or something terrible will happen because it's me & I come along with a 100lbs of trouble and misery. And that I'm just feeling really stupid saying/making you (as in you, Matt) do this for me. And that I'm not accepting or rejecting and that I'm a neutral little wanna be mosher.

Does that sound like a
"Yes, I like you back, but I don't want to hurt you"
"No, I don't like you and I'm making all this crap up."
"I'm neutral. And I can't decide."

???

Well, here's the story. Bob and Betty are really awesome friends. And from what Betty told me, Bob used to be (is still?) madly in love with her. But Bob's parents don't like Betty and Betty doesn't like Bob more than a friend would like a friend. Well, Betty & I were talking about this over summer & we both agreed that either of us could see Andrew as being more than a best friend. Well, I think my feelings for him have changed since then. I mean I get really happy when I think of him and I want to see him 24/7 (he goes to another school so I don't see him at all) but I think that I'm denying that I like him just so that I won't end up hurting him??? Does that make sense? Anyways, Bob told me like 10min ago that he likes me, like really likes me. And I was just like "Eek! what do I do?!?!" And I was just replying with stupid remarks that didn't really respond to his saying "I like you" just to avoid answering him (thank goodness for my ADD-ness) And so before I logged off, I IMed Matt with that little paragraph on top and told him to give that to Andrew as soon as I log off. And I logged off telling Andrew to wait 10seconds.

Not quite sure will happen until later on tonight or tomorrow. Umm, yeah.

Sooooo...what I told Matt to tell Bob ... what does it sound like I'm saying? Like from a guys perspective (and yes, you can be a girl to answer. I couldn't care less)

Thanks!
15/f

PS..if it helps, Bob and Betty are juniors and I'm a sophomore in high school???

Not quite believeable. Telling someone you don't want to be with them out of fear of hurting them HURTS.

OPTION 2:"No, I don't like you and I'm making all this crap up."

Definately not believeable. Why would you put all that effort into lying to someone you don't even like?

OPTION 3:"I'm neutral. And I can't decide."

Sounds about right.
