it's wrong... because YG is supposed to be this family bonding..or what ever people continue to say...
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?!
where they like someone from their YG (or from school etc.)yet their like a best friend to you...and you couldn't dare take the chance to lose him as a friend?
You realize.."alright just be happy with what you have right now..which is a great friendship." But UGH that thought or imagination of what it would be like to be something more than just friends brainwashes you.
WELCOME to MY WORLD... hmm 7-8 months only...i've been like this... Don't get me wrong i attend to church for my unconditional love with God..but yet theres him...my bestfriend someone who never looks bad..someone who just i can't see but only him...it's like i'm left in a room with ONLY him and no one else.
HMMM more about us...well you see..this boy... lets call him darien shall we? :)
Darien well he's kinda shy...meaning he's not that average boy who can just jump up to any girl and talk to her right away...it's always a girl who talks to him first THEN he will start to talk to her..But OK so me and darien...supposdly people from YG has thought that he has liked me...because i'm a rare girl who he talks to A LOT... they say i'm his "no.1 girl best friend"
which i don't mind :) But yet...
i like him...and yet..i always wonder WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME...personally i'm not afraid to admit the fact that no..i am not ugly...i'm perfectly fine. I'm smart straight As all the way. I'm nice friendly funny...i'm a big social clown... So i ask...whats wrong with me...i try to look for reasons as to why he WOULDN'T like me more than a friend... (cocky of me..i know)
so i asked a friend one day and she said "wow..ok i swear darien likes you...or as least has..because online he just would always talk about you..and say oh serena said that too! or serena this and serena that..." So one time my friend asked him..."Do you like ashely?" (ashely is a girl from yg..who also likes him) he said flatly no... then my friend asked "what about serena?" He NEVER said no..all he typed in was She's nice...and he would change the topic...
IS THAT A SIGN?
NOW DAYS...it's been obvious that i like him..
so we went to a retreat...
BEAUTIFUL...
all our cabins next to a lake with about 170 people there in total.. we went canoeing together (me and darien) and...i sat on the swings alone..and he sat with me and we had a swinging contest :P i WON..hahahahhaha
anywho
While we were on the canoes people said "SERENA THIS ISN'T A ROMANTIC GET AWAY!" and they were kidding cause they had a foolish wild grin on their face but those people all knew about my secret with darien.
darien just said..haha sigh*
and it sucks...being stuck on that boat with the dude you like...and being embarassed so i just coughed unconditionally several times and said i was fine (i didn't know what else to do!)
i kept thinking to myself...it done..he knows... becuz funny thing is..when we land the canoe onto shore my friends see my and darien and they yell. "OH MY GOD SERENA I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" and gave me the thumbs up.
i just laughed...and ran to the swings..he joined me and we had fun...
OK now heres the other part
So we had encouragement notes..where we can each write anyone in the retreat a note...and put it in their mail box ...
he wrote me one..he drew us on a canoe and said hope you had a great retreat and goodtimes on teh canoe and swinging :) see ya later!
i was so happy...
and i was even HAPPIER when i found out that none of my girl friends from yg got one from him.
then of course when retreat ended we talked a lot on AIM.
is this a sign? :p
haha i suck at this...
i'm sorry...wat a bother to be reading about my stupid life...but if you just want to be a jolly fellow and leave any advice or comments..feel free to do so...:)
stephanieXsunshine answered Sunday August 24 2008, 2:56 am: Wow, so when I was reading this my exact life situation fit almost perfectly.
I like this guy in my youth group.
He's so amazing and Im constantally thinking about him.
Hes one of my best friends and we talk sooo much.
I started off with intentions of being just friends but fell in love with our friendship along the way.
For a while I was conflicted between being "just friends" or making a move. I decided that I didnt want to live my life wondering "what if..?" So this thursday at youth group I plan on telling him. And even if he does reject me i'll still be his friend. Yeah it may be ackward at first but that ackwardness will eventually fade.
Just go with your gut feeling.
From what you say it seems like he likes you but I cant completely tell because Im not the one whos in your shoes.
And its totally sweet that he left only you a note at camp. =D
[oh and btw my friends do the same thing. Everytime they see us hanging out at church they smile and say things like "awww" or "ooo la la." it's quit embarrassing but i just laugh it off. and so does he.]
I say go for it. What do you have to lose?
xoxo stephaniexsunshine
If what i said hasn't really helped or youre still confused then just pray about it. God will give you the answers. And he def. wouldnt put someone in your life who shouldnt be there or who wont teach you a lesson in the long run. [ stephanieXsunshine's advice column | Ask stephanieXsunshine A Question ]

What has stopped you from ever sharing this with him?
This may not be what you want to hear, but if you want to have a relationship with him you need to say something about how you feel.
How will he know you're even interested if you don't tell him? And don't say that you have acted interested by flirting and such... Guys don't pick up on subtle hints like that.
If you never say, "I like you." then he doesn't know. I can honestly guarantee that.
You obviously are infatuated with him, and he definitely enjoys your company from the sound of your experiences. So I encourage you to do something about it. [ Raldo's advice column | Ask Raldo A Question ]
