To explain: since I generally need to rant (typing in my phone here :D):
My school’s Homecoming was today! Amazing! I spent the entire week debating whether I should go or not, only to decide to go (and get peer-pressured into it) thirty minutes before it started.
So, I go. Thirty minutes, I’m chatting with friends, being nonchalant, pretending like I’m looking for somebody, when guess what — my crush turns up.
Obviously the perfect moment to ask. Guess what? I didn’t do it. He even gave me a flower — although I think it was more like a “hey, give this to someone else” thing — what do yall think?
Then, I sort of milled around. Caught him a few more times, even alone once, didn’t say anything.
We even went out and played frisbee at 10 PM (which is surprisingly fun) and guess what? Just us two, there? I don’t care about the fact that he’s a sophomore and I’m a freshman. I don’t care what people will say or think.
But what I (GP)ing hate is that I didn’t take the chance — because I was unsure that I was good enough for him.
Any insight, all? I’m probably not going to see it until Monday. What would you say I do? I’m in a pretty dark place because of this and I just need some advice.
On another note, how do I tell my parents? They’re very supportive of me and would love it but I just can’t bring it up for some reason.
I’m sorry, guys. I’m a weird piece of (GP). Feel free not to respond. I just needed to get that out.
Weslockes, I only just saw this, sorry. I want to say, I've been there. Like, almost exactly there. And I did what you did, and felt what I imagine you felt.
Except for me it was...what, coming on a year ago? I told myself "It's fine. I'll tell him later." I put it off, said I could maybe try again later. But turns out, I'd blown my chance. I decided not to tell him until later...until one of the last days of school that school year. And he skipped the whole last week. I never did get to tell him, and it weighs on me every time I think about him or see him in the hallway. It hurts a lot, and I have no way of just talking to him one-on-one anymore.
I don't want you to go through that. Tell him. If you are worried about being forward, try getting his number or his Insta or something first. And freshman-sophomore's not a bad age gap. Don't worry about it too much.
And I want to say, that you are good enough. Even if it is sometimes a little difficult to believe. I know it is for me. But you are good enough. Just think for a bit. You and he played frisbee at night and had fun! He does not think you're not good enough. If he thought so he wouldn't have played, and he definitely wouldn't have had fun.
Nobody gives a (gp) about freshman/sophomore, my lovely girlfriend is a sophomore, im a freshman, and i know a couple other freshman/sophomore pairs
I say just go for it
it’s scary as (gp) but it’s worth it
potato is right, you’re good enough for him
and if he doesn’t think so?
he’s not worth your effort
lol thx Selia
…I didn’t realize this would come back up. Working on it :D
Wbu, tho? How go things?
But like also he’s popular and talkative and pretty and all and…well, I can run fast and write well. That’s ’bout It. We’re decent friends, and he’s gay, but…idk.
Doesn't make a difference. Hearkening back to my example, I'm the quiet person in the corner who is nice to people and doesn't curse and am a skinny-as-all-get-out bookworm with no hope in any exercise-related situation. But he was a very popular, very outgoing, very funny, very athletic, and very attractive individual. I am none of those things. But that didn't stop me from going for it and taking the shot. Plenty of other stuff stopped me but it wasn't that :)
Alright. I’ll try. We sound pretty similar IRL tho just I do all the nerdy sports
And again, thank you both. I’m merely wallowing in my pain and not doing something I could, and you guys are helping me so much. Thanks :)
Wes, respectfully
boys are stupid. Even the gay ones. Most of the time, you literally need to scream “IM GAY” in their faces for them to notice anything.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Less that we’re stupid, more that it’s that the game of “Are they being nice or flirting” is a gamble rarely in our favor, so most of the time we assume no, they don’t like us

O sorrow, I have ended, you see, by respecting you, because I am certain you will never leave me.
Ah! I realize it: your beauty lies in the force of your being. You are like those who never left the sad fireside corner of my poor black heart.
O my sorrow, you are better than a well-beloved: because I know that on the day of my final agony, you will be there, lying in my sheets, O sorrow, so that you might once again attempt to enter my heart.
only thing is he’s a freshman and I’m in 8th I think…
ya’ll is it gay that he watches/reads dandadan and bluebox (please say yes ToT)
Dandadan is a fusion of romance and shonen, so no. Blue box is just well written romance with people who have a healthy relationship (male fantasy No. 1) so also no. Sorry homie. Your crush just has good taste.
