    Too Late?
    Hi, I liked this girl in my school for almost 2 years now. I'm in my final year of A-Levels and I feel like I'm not ending it in a happy note as I couldn't be brave enough to confess my feelings to her.

    As much as I want to be brave enough to tell her, I'm going to go to a university outside of the country and I won't see her for the next 8 months or so. One side of me thinks I should tell her, but the other tells me there's really no point in this as I'm moving away far enough.

    She's smart, beautiful, and friendly... I've known her for a long time, and I'm just afraid that my actions may destroy our friendship as a whole.

    What should I do? Should I even bother telling her my feelings?


    Thank you for all the responses in advance.

    Hm. Tough one. Do you think it would develop into anything really? If you're going away it could be tough. It could work too. Perhaps just explain you've always liked her but you know with going away things won't necessarily happen. Sorry if this is no help, these situations are tough

    Thank you for your reply! I know it won't really develop into anything... but I think it might put my mind at ease or just help her understand how I feel about her.

    The problem with me is that when I like someone, I like them for a very long time. I don't know if that's a positive trait, but this eventually leads me to "miss my chance". Happened every time. Part of me wants to just confess and get it done and over with, part of me just thinks there's no hope in this whatsoever, and it won't bring any positive outcome... This is so hard to decide!!!

    I am a girl and i think u should give ur feelings a chance and tell her how you feel...you can start a long distance relationship and i dnt think confessing ur feelings will destroy ur friendshiip because ur being honest..and I think it could change the way she feels abt u in a good way... Otherwise u will never know what could have happened...ur going away anyway so if it goes bad then it will be ok...so give it a try.. hope i helped..

    Thanks for your input.

    I found out today that she's been seeing someone and I personally think she's making a bad choice and this is disregarding my affection for her. I just think that in her best interest, she should let go of the lad because he's a complete jerk.

    That dilema now within consideration, should I still tell her?

    Do you just view this guy badly because you want her? Because smetimes when we want something so bad we ignore what is best for that person instead. Of course, I'm not sure of why this guy is a bad choice etc.

    I will be completely honest here. I care alot about her well-being and this person is clearly not right for her. He's very materialistic and he wants to be the only person she'll ever talk to. It's quite... implusive action for a lack of better terms.

    Deep down inside, I may have a bit of lust... but again, this is a girl I've liked for 2 or more years now. It's quite hard for me to adjust to that I guess. I just want the best for her.

    With this in mind, I may just try to talk to her over a cup of coffee or something. I just want her to know how I feel about her. I don't want to look back when I'm miles away from home and regret not saying anything. That'll obviously bring down my overall concentration and direct it away from my studies.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your replies... you guys help alot. I'm very glad to have people giving logical inputs into my personal matter. Thank you once again.
