The Student Room Group

I like him but it's so awkward!

Hi, I posted a coupla weeks ago about this - I don't want to sound like a pathetic teenager obsessing about her crush on someone so I'll keep it short - and I do actually want some advice...

I like this guy who's in my friend group - he's smart, funny and really nice, and I have a small inkling that he might (and that's a pretty big 'might') like me too - because he looks at me a lot, and we laugh together, and sometimes it's awkward between us....

But yeah - we have next to nothing in common, apart from that we both play tennis occasionally in a school club. We don't even like the same music, and it's so difficult getting a conversation together without it sounding totally forced and unnatural! Makes me wonder - why do I even like him?! We don't talk that much, normally because we have nothing to say! I'm fairly shy with people I don't know that well, and I won't be the one to ask someone out.

I only ask this because as I said, I think he might like me, and at the moment we're not going anywhere because we don't seem to be able to say anything to each other! Whoops sorry that was longer than intended...anyone got any advice?! Thanks, J x

Wow, you're in almost the exact same situation as me :smile: I say just tell him! I'm telling mine on thursday, but only because I've been going on about him so much to my other friends that if I don't tell him by friday they'll get a lecturer to announce it in class :frown:

It's not really a problem of telling him or not though, because I think the feeling is mutual. I could be wrong of course - either way I'm not gonna tell him, as I'm too shy :redface: it's more the problem of if we did both like each other and eventually got together, we'd never have anything to say!! Anyone ever been like this?

You two are never going to get together if you aren't honest though so really, you don't need to worry about what you are going to say do you?

If you were to get together, then you take it a day at a time and see how it goes. You two will find things to talk about, there will still be lots about each other that you don't know. It's just something that you will need to figure out at the time I guess.

I would like to point out that I wasn't trying to be a bitch, just trying to prove a point.... :wink: So please, don't take it the wrong way.
