I just want him to know that I like him, but I am too shy to tell him.
Question Posted Thursday November 4 2010, 10:46 pm
there is this i guy i like. Im like best friends with his family. I stay over their house alot so i know practically their whole family and they have a huge family. Their family is close. Me and him are the same age and so people always say stuff like maybe you guys like each other. We both just deny it and smile. We are completely different so I think he thinks that i would never like him. My little cousin once was like melanie likes you and i was like no i dont she is just lying and he was like yeah i dont think she would say something like that plus he knows that my little cousin adores him so he believed me but in reality i do like him i like him alike. Im just tired of him not knowing. I dont want him to find another girl. I dont want to tell him because i dont want to make it awkward between the family and me. Even though their family likes me and treats me like im their family. I dont think they ever have thoughts of me and him dating. I dont want the whole family to know anyways. I just want him to know that I like him. Im shy also so i cant just tell him. He does have a picture of me and his sister in his bible. So i think thats kind of a big deal cuz why would he have a pic of me in there. But he isnt living at home he is in another country till next year so im not planning on anything till then and i would be almost graduating. So what should i do? and how should i? Im confused and he is always on my mind and i dont want him too like any other girl. O yeah i cant text him or facebook him because him and his sister share a phone and he doesnt have myspace or facebook or anything like that
Wow, I can really relate to this; actually, i think a lot of people can relate. You're never going to get the answer to your question unless you just admit your feelings. Sure, you COULD wait around for him to maybe, someday tell you that he likes you, but that may never happen. If he hasn't told you in all these years, then it's unlikely that he'll come out with his feelings now.
So I think you idea to be straightforward is a great idea. Wait for him to come back, and when you two are alone together, just tell him. The exact words that you use don't matter. Just make him understand that you don't want this to come between your friendship and that you would appreciate it if he didn't tell his family about it. Telling him will bring a resolution to all your wondering and will also take a huge weight off of your shoulders. Holding in your feelings in is pretty stressful in itself.
Also, maybe this is just me, but whenever I have told a guy how I feel about him and he has told me that he only likes me as a friend, it actually makes it really easy to move on. Sure, it hurts at first, but I also feel really glad and relieved. Part of what keeps us so enthralled with someone is the mystery of whether or not they like us. Once we figure out how they feel we are no longer living in some fantasy land, but in reality. I'm sure you don't want to go on liking him forever and wondering "what if." Take the risk and tell him how you feel. You'll feel much better afterward.
