Hey, guys... So I have a bit of an issue... Today, a guy who told me he had a crush on me about a year ago (and we'd never even spoken... I didn't even know his name...) gave me a note saying this:
Sooo, this is kinda reminiscent of last year, right? Well I've been wanting to tell you in person for the longest time, but just never found the time or I couldn't find a way to bring it up I guess.
But basically, I appreciate you tolerating me as a friend and being willing to talk to me even though I'm weird sometimes. And also I think you already kinda know this, I've pretty much had crush on you since the beginning of junior year in study hall. I don't really know why, its just that you stood out to me more than anyone else, and I've kinda always found you attractive. so that's what the notes were about last year, since I couldn't talk to you or anything, and that's why my friends always tried so hard to get me to talk to you. I just wanted to get this out because it's been half a year since we started talking, and I feel like talking for 60 seconds from class to class isn't really enough time to talk about a lot. Which is why I wanted to try and set up a hang out kind of thing, so we could get to know each other more, and I also planned on asking if you needed help in Pre-Calc and that I would be able to help if you wanted, because I don't want you to get in any more trouble, and I again thought it was another chance for us to do something outside of school. But since you said you're not even allowed to go to a library because you're grounded, I decided it was just a lost cause.
I know you liked another guy who "doesn't like short girls," which I don't know what planet he's living on, but he's pretty d*** stupid if he just sees your height and not what an awesome person you are.
Anyways, I just wanted to get this out before it's late, cause you never know if you don't try, right? And I honestly do like you more than a friend, but if you're not into me that way, I hope you can look past that and we can still be friends, because I don't want this messing up our friendship. I gave you this on the last day of the week so I could wait until Monday to hear your response, because apparently I like torturing myself with anxiety. But if you're willing to try, I'd like to be more than friends, so it's up to you, and I hope you have a half-decent weekend given your circumstances, and I hope I didn't complicate your weekend or anything.
P.S. Hope my handwriting ain't that bad
The issue is that I honestly don't like him like that, and I told him this the first time he said he liked me. He's a great friend, but as he mentioned, I like someone else, even if that isn't going anywhere. Another thing that isn't that big of a deal is, I feel like he kind of put down the guy I like? I understand that he likes me, but still...
And I'm not a very confrontational person, so any advice on how I could approach this would be amazing
And he intended to give me the note on Thursday (my school had Friday off), but he missed school, so he gave it to me today.
Any help is very much appreciated, and thank you for reading this!!
