Everything's perfect, BUT...

Hey everyone.
I have fancied this guy on and off for about 2 years now and have never had the guts to say anything. Finally it's all going perfect, we talk everyday and he recently asked me if I wanted to "do something" at the weekend. (now whether he meant it with his friends or without, I don't know, but I'm happy either way lol).

So I've been absolutely over the moon for a few days, but apparently lots of people know, including one particular gossip (I just found out today when he yelled, "Soooo what's this I hear about you liking X?!" at me). I wasn't too worried earlier as most of these people don't know him or talk to him, and the ones that do are good friends and I could trust them with my life.

I do have a feeling he knows anyway, (I have been hinting) but I don't want rumours going round, as I wouldn't him to feel that his every move was being watched. Luckily he's not in my year but the year above, so maybe that might help things a bit. But it's just so annoying as after all this time finally something good is happening and I don't want it over before it's even started :frown:

(I guess I should also mention that one of his best friends has persistently been asking me out for the past 3 years almost and pretends that his teddy bear is me at night, but that could fill up another thread. He also knows I like him.)

My love life's far too complicated and not very successful :frown:


I just wish there was some way I could keep things this perfect wthout everyone asking me. I think I made a mistake telling people except my closest friends.
Any suggestions how I could improve the situation?

Thanks :frown:

well if you do get together and people ask you stuff, just keep it very limited and vague. i personally hate people knowing private stuff of mine that i would like to keep to myself, or only a couple of people.

Don't worry about it, kids at school or whoever will soon have some newer and more interesting gossip that isn't about you!

The people at school are probably not doing it in a harsh way, but a kind of gossipy way. Ive done similar things in the past.

The most important thing is, make sure you meet up with the guy and something does happen so that the roumers are true :biggrin:

I'm sure it wont spoil anything, from what you've said the feeling sounds pretty mutual anyway.

It's mad, the way some people abuse anon., isn't it! I can't see why it should be either.

Everyone gossips, there's nothing you can do about ti really and it shouldn't effect your relationship if they don't know too much about it. Most of the time people gossip because they either know something or they would like to.
