I used to fancy some guy. I then found my boyfriend, and we're happy together, etc etc. The "Some Guy" was our mutual friend. I even wrote a bizarre story about me, him, and some other of our friends... That stayed a secret, only my boyfriend knows. I keep getting hints that the "Some Guy" (SG) fancied me. I encouraged him, not seriously, but I do flirt with quite a lot of people. Only just now I found out he doesn't like me in that way at all.
And I'm devastated.
Even if he did, I wouldn't date him. But I'd be pleased. My self confidence is poor. I need to know what's wrong with me.
I feel like burning the story... I just hurt in a strange place.... I feel like im going to cry.
Doesn't help that everyone was telling me he did, and... I'm selfish, and I wanted him to, I wanted to know me flirting with him could make him happy.
... I sound like I'm really lame.
(Im female and in my mid teens.)
I do love him. A lot. But as a friend.... sigh, maybe there's something there.
He can be so cruel. I said i was disappointed, and he laughed. I.... help... help....

LiLMAMAx answered Sunday June 29 2008, 9:20 pm: I understand what you're saying. It always makes a girl feel better & more self confident when someone besides the same boys or their own boyfriend likes them or thinks highly about them. All of us girls think the same way. But to some people you might not be attractive or anything but you have to think about all the other guys in the world that will cross your path that will think your the best thing in the world. Everyones opinions are different and you can't beat yourself up over one guys opinion. Don't worry about it, just because one guy doesn't like you doesn't mean your ugly or unattractive. It could mean that your not his type, or your too good of a friend. ♥ [ LiLMAMAx's advice column | Ask LiLMAMAx A Question ]
InsaneChildz answered Sunday June 29 2008, 3:02 pm: I understand excately what your saying. Your 100% happy with you and your boyfriend and you wouldn't break up with him for the (SG) but it still makes you feel good inside knowing that somebody (besides your bf/gf) likes you in that special way. It makes you feel amazing and that your special, because everyone likes being liked. But then when that (SG) moves on to someone else, or turns out he doesn't like you then it hurts. That great feeling you felt inside is gone and replaced with sadness.
Theres nothing you can really do about it though. Try not to let this get in the way of your friendship, you will need some time away from him, but don't make it too long.
In the end you still have your boy friend whom your happy with. Good Luck!
