CRUSH! ..i'm in a pickle :(

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>the school year ended a couple of weeks ago. all of last week i was on a school trip on the other side of the country. theres this boy, he was on the trip, we'll call him peter. we've had our lockers next to eachother for the last three years and we're pretty good friends. i've liked him a lot all of this last year. i'm pretty sure he likes me back, because according to some witnesses he was staring at me during the trip (which would normally be creepy, but it isn't in this situation). there have been a lot of little instances like that. anyway, i'll get to the point here. i was gonna tell him i liked him on the trip, but i didn't know how, so i didn't. i made a REALLY, REALLY dumb choice though .. i told all my friends that i liked him. so that pretty much guarantees that he'll find out. ever since the trip ended, i've been more obsessed with him than ever before. i can't stop playing "never tear us apart" by INXS. it's pathetic. i could call him, but i've never done that before and i'm not the type of girl who talks to boys on the phone all the time. also, we'll be going to different schools next year. my stomach turns upside down thinking that i'll never see him again!!!! agh.</p>

<p>WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?</p>

<p>Keep your mouth shut stop blabbing to your friends they will screw it up. And let things develop. You sound like you're 12.</p>

<p>yeah, that sucks, telling your friends = not a good idea!! But..I would try to confront him, I mean, you might as well. The "friend" route will have all the disadvantages but none of the advantages of JUST SAYING IT! </p>

<p>Also, if this ever happens again, try to be a little wary of people telling you he's "staring", etc...my friend ALWAYS mistook little signals like that (she sat next to the homework board during a class, and thought all the guys were in love...she lives in a dreamworld :P)...also, I've seen it happen where people say stuff like that as a joke, like, "<em>_, _</em>'s been looking at youuu..awwwww"</p>

<p>hey...well since im one of the "friends" in this situation...i have to say that im not as bad as mj93 is saying about us...the other people are...i promise im not lying and she knows it. ive kept my mouth shut. haha. well anyways what i say is that you should tell him before somebody else does. i mean, whats the worst that could happen? if he doesnt like you back then you can move on and you wont have to deal with it anymore because your going to different schools. but anyways...</p>

<p>i want everyone to know that mj93 is an amazing person and i love her lots!</p>

5

<p>Um...chill...if he's going to different schools it won't matter when school's over.</p>

6

<p>yeah i agree with TritiumKnight. you need to chill. no offence =]] haha.</p>

<p>OH my gosh I know how you feel, you should call him up because if you don't tell him how you feel it will continue to eat you up inside, trust me , I know, I felt loads better after telling the person how I felt. You need to casually bring it up</p>

8

<p>id tell you to man up but i dunno what the equivalent of that is for girls</p>

<p>thanks for all the responses, you guys.</p>

<p>question:</p>

<p>i'm leaving for a month long camp tomorrow, and i'm thinking of sending him a letter. bad/good idea?</p>

10

<p>good idea!! you can get your feelings out without actually having to say it to his face.</p>

11

<p>Do you wish to keep in touch with this "Peter", even though you guys aren't going to the same school? Tell ne, does he live close to you?</p>

12

<p>long distance relationships don't work, just so you know. i'm speaking from watching my sibling have a very painful one. </p>

<p>good luck! :)</p>

13

<p>"Do you wish to keep in touch with this "Peter", even though you guys aren't going to the same school? Tell ne, does he live close to you?"</p>

<p>we both live in the twin cities and we have the same group of friends. this summer, we'll probably be hanging out at the same pool, etc.</p>

14

<p>Sending a letter sounds extremely lame. Just call or text or something.</p>

15

<p>yea, call him up and ask him if he wants to hang out. if you're one of those people who cant call for some reason i never understood, myspace/facebook/whateverelseexists him.
see what happens when it's just you two</p>

<p>what eugenia said is good. but mj93 doesnt have a myspace anymore...and i dont believe she has a facebook. [[ im her friend so i know this ]] but i think that mj93 should get a myspace again.</p>
