<p>So there is this girl who sits near me in AP Calc who I really liked since January, and I knew her and we've talked and chatted regularly since November. We've gotten along fairly well. I'm not looking to start dating her or anything, as I don't really approve of high school relationships in general, not to mention that I'm going away on vacation for most of summer, and be going off to college right after that. And If I tell her, there would be risks, the biggest one is that she would stop talking to me and avoid me. Yet, I just don't feel comfortable not letting her know about this. Is it worth the risk to tell her that I like her, and if so, how should I go about doing it?</p>
<p>If you don’t want to date her, why would you tell her?</p>
<p>Does it really matter that she knows you like her if you won’t be taking it anywhere? If you really do like her enough that you want something with her, don’t have any regrets, tell her. </p>
<p>Go up to her and tell her that you like her and would like to get to know her, then give/ask for her number. Why would she stop talking to you and avoid you? That’s unreasonable.</p>
<p>Sadly, I am one of those girls who start avoiding guys who like them. Do I like that I do it? No, not one bit! But for some reason, I can’t get myself to stop. I have lost some really good guy friends because of that. I think it’s the most awkward thing ever especially when some eye contact goes on, haha! Don’t let that stop you, though. I doubt she’s as immature and stupid as me. Good luck if you do it! :)</p>
<p>The thing that’s holding me back is that I’m 99% sure that she doesn’t like me back. However, I still want to tell her that I like her, since I just want her to know regardless of how she feels about me, and really do not want to keep this to myself. Should I tell her If I’m sure that she won’t like me, and maybe even admit to her that “I know you most likely do not like me, but I still want to you know about this”.</p>
<p>Most definitely do not do that, what you just suggest on doing^^^.</p>
<p>It will make her feel uncomfortable and probably send her into a state of shock. If you believe that she doesn’t have any interest in you, then you will see a shift in her behavior towards you from then on out. If you really don’t care about ruining whatever relationship you have with her now, then go right ahead and brace yourself for the ultimate zomg-w t f -just-happened reaction from her and that unbearably awkward moment of silence. </p>
<p>But if you really do want to somehow signal to her that you like her and without ruining the relationship between you two, drop some hints. Compliment her. Win her heart if you think she’s the one (It’s possible she may fall for you too, ya know?) See how she reacts back. </p>
<p>Good luck to you, friend</p>
<p>IT doesn’t seem to be in the cards for you anytime soon so I’d be hesitate about using the like word. But friends n the other hand might be the best way to start. Who knows next summer it might be in the cards.</p>
