admitting it freaked him out


Question Posted Friday April 3 2009, 6:28 pm

I told my guy friend from school, who i like, that i liked him today in one of our classes, which was really hard for me to do. He sits behind me but I decided to just text him during class. I told him I had to tell him something but i didn't want him to be weirded out and he sortof seemed confused. So I told him, and said that it was hard for me to say and that i understand if he doesnt feel the same way and that I hope we could still be friends in that case and that I'm sorry if I freak him out. He didn't answer. The bell rang, and since it was double period science we had the break and usually he stays but this time he totally dashed out the door to go talk to our other friend, but i don't think he told her about it. When he came back I was on the phone with my cousin and he was obviously trying to avoid me by being all buddy buddy with his other friend that sits behind him. When we went to get lab books, he passed by me as fast as he could. We're in different lab groups, but he came near my lab table at one point for supplies and whatever and didn't acknowledge me. I did happen to notice him looking my way through this glass cabinet a couple times when he was at his lab table on the other side of the room, and clearly I was upset and pissed that he didn't say anything and he still hasn't said anything. I don't regret telling him but I feel like an idiot now and I'm upset. Does him ignoring me and avoiding me like that mean he wants to have nothing to do with me or does it mean I just took him off guard and he just needs time to respond to me? Should I say something to him at some point this weekend or wait until monday? I'm really upset, I really don't want to ruin our friendship =[

It's hard to tell by people's response everyone is going to respond differently. So no that doesn't mean he doesn't like you. Some guys don't know how to show affection and that could be another reason as to why he decided to just avoid you. He may not know how to tell you he likes you. I would say something to him monday give him time to think things through and gather in his mind what hes going to say. Be clear when you talk to him monday that you don't want this to ruin your friendship at all. That if he doesn't like you back then you guys could go back to being friends like you were.

That move was too forward.

Judging from his response, he either, doesn't feel the same way or he was totally caught off guard and is embarrassed. Unfortunately, he may feel his back is against the wall and the only way of avoiding a bf/gf relationship with you is to stay away from you. That's bad news for the friendship. If he's just embarrassed, he will get over it and, if he feels the same, he will approach you at some point.

This may blow over after he gets past the awkwardness or it may not. It can go either way, but dropping a bomb like that will definitely take someone aback. I wouldn't take it any further. Let him make the next move.

oh I'm sorry!

But hey i really do think you just caught him off guard and he could be a little surprised by what you told him. I don't think he'll text you today but i think saturday you should text him and say "Hi =]" see if he reply's if he doesn't then a couple hours later text him again if he doesn't reply again don't text him anymore that day he could get annoyed you DON'T want that! sunday if you feel comfortable text him again "HI! what are you doing?" or something.
if he doesn't respond then just leave him alone till Monday, at school. Monday don't talk to him just pass by him a lot and smile in his direction then if you want talk to him and smile really confident and say " Hey! what did you do this weekend?" or what ever you want don't discuss the incident just yet save that for when you know its time to ask if you don't see him monday do this same thing in science or what ever class you have with him if you don't get the idea he likes you back and you still want to be friends with him than the best thing to do is pretend that it never happend unless he brings it up just say what you said before about just being friends if he didn't like you.

IF he texts you back though do the same as before don't bring it up! if he like you back and wants to know more about it he'll bring it up in the texts!

i hope i helped you i know how it's like waiting for someone to answer you!

with love
