Crushes, Boyfriends, and Girlfriends | V4

[Gloxinia]

{ Okay. So.
Ever since school started up, there's this boy that's caught my eye a few times. I have no idea what his name is, so I've fondly dubbed him as Mink.

I need a place to gush. I've never quite felt so shy around someone before!I'm usually so open and so in-your-face and 'odd' (as many people have described me) but when it comes to Mink, I cower away. I clam up and stutter. My normally quick-paced brain comes to a disturbing halt and all I can manage to do is stare blankly at him with wide eyes, slightly parted lips and flushed cheeks.

I've never talked to him before. I've just seen him in the hallways and I've bumped into him on occasion. When I do, I yelp, back up so quickly and scuttle away you'd think I'd just been scalded by him! He's a freshman, too, which only makes him and myself all the more embarrassed.

It feels so odd to gaze at someone from afar. I've done it to some, yes, because I'm an observer, but never quite scrutinized. I love the way his lips curve up into an ever-lasting smile, the flush of his cheeks, the bright green of his eyes... He has a walk about him, one that doesn't exude confidence, but you know he's comfortable in his skin. His hair's literally golden. It shines so nicely, and it looks so soft! I'd love to braid it, but alas, I can't. He's taller than me, too. Round about half a foot.

Ugh, I just wish I could say hi! But I never quite know how to approach him, and if I did know how, I don't know if I actually could. Bah!

Crushes are stupid! }

Hey guys c:
So, I guess none of this really matters anymore, but I'm going to tell you the story of my awkward love life.

Two years ago, I met this guy in my English class on the first day of school. Literally the first time I saw him I swear I must've looked like an idiot because I blushed and stumbled over my feet to get to my seat. I talked to him a little every few days, and he was really super nice. He kind of picked on me a little to the point that I laughed and I'm still not sure if that means that he liked me or not. He seriously was the only thing on my mind in class, and it didn't help that every seat change my teacher would still have us next to each other. I would gush to my friend that he was super cute and she kept encouraging me to talk to him more, but I always got super nervous around him and act stupid and not at all normal. The next school year, I dubbed him as a major crush. My little brother has always been super into baseball, and my dad's a coach, but I always stayed at home and did homework instead of watching his games. When I found out you-know-who's brother was on his team, I decided that I'd come to every game and practice that I could, just to get a glimpse of him.
No matter my fantasies, I always knew that he would never ask me out. He was single, as far as I knew, so at least I thought I had a chance, if he even thought about me at all. The first day of school last year, he was in my English class again. I ended up sitting near him, and would send a glance over to my best friend, deciding that it must be meant to be or something. What were the chances? So, I got up the nerve and sort of talked to him a little more. I still was sure that he wouldn't consider me anything more than an acquantince, much less a crush, but it was worth a shot.
The next few days, it continued on; I would go to English, talk a little, and stare at the ground for the rest of the class, blushing like crazy. It was a week after that when I found out that he had a girlfriend... one of my good friends. I hadn't realized that they had been dating for a week or so. I was seriously crushed; I'm not even sure why. I knew for a fact that he would never ask me out, but it was almost like she had read my mind just to ruin my fantasies.
He was such a sweet boyfriend; he gave her one of his sweatshirts with his last name on the back, a necklace from his vacation trip, and a giant panda plush for valentines day. I was so jealous I didn't know what to think anymore. They ended up breaking up near the middle of the year, but of course I wasn't going to make a move or anything.
He didn't go to the same school as me this year and his brother stopped playing baseball with mine, so I figured that I wouldn't ever see him again.
He was my first serious crush and I still think about him every so often but I'm okay, of course. c:
There's other fish in the sea~ (corny corny)

So yeah. That's my story haha uvu
edit; holy cow that was looong o-o

"Sleep tight, you beautiful thing *kisses cheek*"
*dreamy sigh* Why does he have to be so sweet?

[Lazy9248]

Oh jeez... I hate to say this but I think parents can tell when two people should go out... My English teacher kept trying to get me and a random creep together in 9th grade and sat us by each other all year... He had a major crush on me but I wasn't interested...

In 10th grade we had no classes together so I got his number and started texting him every night because I missed talking to him... I fell hard on my face... I talk to him all the time and he has never told anyone that he texts me when he pretty much openly tells everyone everything...

Now it's 11th grade... Still don't have any classes with each other but I meet him at his locker every day between hours 5&6... His locker partner and my friends are trying to get us to go out now.. I have a feeling that somehow my English teacher in 9th grade could tell... I don't know, he's not the type of person that will ask me out and I have never gone out with anyone... I'd like to ask him to see a movie with me or something but I have no idea what to do... Any help/advice??? Thanks and feel free to pm me if you would like c:

It's the holidays. No more love life.

*sigh*....'Cute boy' is so far out of my reach.

He taunts me with his presence in the mornings, and again when I see him in the afternoon while boarding our buses.

He taunts me with his alluring appearance.
He taunts me with a voice I've never heard.
He taunts me with his mysterious vibe.

He taunts me with the problems I can relate to.
He taunts me with the anime shirts I see him wear.
He taunts me with his 'flippy emo hair'** XD

He taunts my mind.
He taunts my heart.

And the Universe taunts me, with this beautiful person that I can't have~

** I just said it because it rhymed XD

Oh man, my mind stopped working today.

So in my last class at school today, there's this guy I really find to be a good friend.
In case you didn't know, i'm VERY socially awkward, except when i'm around friends.

I tell him i'm really awkward and he says words that touch my heart "You aren't socially awkward at all, I think you're a nice person."

Hmm... I don't know what to feel, I already have a boyfriend (I think), and this is the first time someone else talked positively about me.

[erythristicbones]

Murgh...I need advice.
So,Friday I decided I really needed to grow a backbone and ask my crush out. I wasn't sure how he would react and I wasn't sure if I should because most people frown upon the girl asking the guy out,so I started asking some of our friends what they thought I should do. Well,two of my more outgoing friends ran off without anwsering me and I didn't realize at the time that they had gone and asked him out for me. They came back and said they had said " [my name] really likes and and wants to know if you'll go out with her." and that he had replied "I don't know."
So after lunch I felt really bad 'cause I thought they had upset him,since he looked upset when I saw him,so I went to apologize. I explained that I had meant to ask him out personally,but that they had ran off before I could stop them.I also explained how I had asked them first how I thought he would react and after I said that he replied "I would say yes." That surprised me and we said a few other thing and then he said "but I don't have any money or a car and I would be afraid it wouldn't feel like a real relationship because we'd only ever see eachother at school or when we go to eachothers houses on the weekends." but then we reached our classes and couldnt talk anymore so we just hugged and left.
Then today we were at one of our friend's birthday party and neither of us likes to swim or get in water so we just sat in the corner and played on our ds's and talked. At one point our friend Breana gave her phone to me and said not to give it to Erin,which I promptly did to be funny. So she took it back and gave it to Ian(my crush) and said "Don't let Erin or your girlfriend have it."

Now skipping to what I need advice on; I don't know if we're dating or not. He said yes,but then after more talking he sounded like he was turning me down because we wouldn't get to see eachother often. And then when Breana made the whole 'girlfriend' comment about me,he didn't react or deny it,but then again,he might not have heard. I want to ask him if we're going out or not,but I don't know if I should. Do you guys think I should ask him,or just wait until he does something or says that we are?

Just wait and let it play out naturally. I get wanting a clear label but it can intimidate some guys to define something so immediately, especially when they're young and maybe not really sure what's going on themselves. Make a point to hang out with him more often and let the DTR come later on.

I just wanted to thank you for this advice,it helped.
I waited and was pretty much confirmed that we weren't dating,which was quite saddening at first xD Then a day or two ago one of our friends said Ian had texted him saying something along the lines of 'he really likes me,but feels he should get a job first because he knows if he doesn't I'll end up paying for everything.' He also said he'd ask me out in January,when he can get a job c: I have a feeling he didn't intend for the friend to tell me,but it's still nice to have a bit of a confirmation that he likes me back.

You could try starting a conversation with him, by complementing his shirts?

My best friend actually did that the other day XD She doesn't like him that way....(or at least she better not!)
She tells me his voice is as gorgeous as he is owo
