So i told him I really like him.....

So I've secretly fancy him for 8 months now. We are in the same maths set, and at the beginning my only impression of him was just '' wow he's so good-looking!'', nothing else. Because my maths is pretty bad and his free lessons match with mine I always ended up asking him maths in the library, and I think that's when we slowly became friends:smile:
I can only use ''cool'' to describe him at first. He doesn't smile or talk much, and is always very focused on what he's doing. I don't know when i began to like him, but in front of him I just can't help myself from being cheerful and say ''hi'' warmly to him ( every1 in my school says I am a really shy girl:redface: ) .
Gradually , after numerous attempts, using every single opportunities to talk to him/ask him hw/sit with him in the library/help him when he's stuck , he began to talk+smile more to me, when he sees me in the library he would come and sit with me, and now we are always walking together (like when changing lesson....) I just felt that all my efforts have been paid off.
I can't describe how much I like this guy right now. When we look at each other's eyes and smile, it's the happiest thing in the world:redface:
So last friday I took out all my courages to tell him how much I like him ( on a piece of paper lol). I actually ran away after giving him that piece of paper coz i was so so so nervous. I gave him my mobile no. and asked him to text me back. I waited and waited and waited, and he is not even on msn anymore.
I really want to know what he's thinking now. I won't see him till Tuesday,and this weekend seems so long. I sort of know he doesn't fancy me in the same way or extent as me, but I really hope he could give me a chance, he just han't realised how much I've done or change for him over this year.
For some time I've been thinking (or day-dreaming more accurately) that he is fancying me as well, becoz we are always together@school, and it seems like apart from me he never talks to other girls.

What should I do. If he starts to ignore me on Tuesday I think my heart will break completely. I know telling him is a big gamble right at the start, I knew it..... why is he avoiding me now, why doesn't he just text me back and say he doesn't like me? What should I do on Tuesday? I really need some support + help ! Thx

Maybe he's waiting to tell you face to face that he likes you?

It's better than saying that in a text.

Stick around next time.
Good luck.
I did the exact same thing by text on wednesday!! :biggrin:

He texted me back the next morning telling me that he wasn't sure how he felt, then he texted me last night saying that he really fancied me too!

Result :biggrin:

btw - I know that I'm so tacky for texting him, but I'm a coward and could never say it to his face
in a worse case scenario, at least you did something and didnt spend all your life wondering what if

its good to see that some girls have some guts for a change
good luck!

In a similar situation I had some girl leave me hanging the whole of a half term holiday.

Ah, he's probably nervous. I don't know the guy, so admittedly he could be cruel and callous and not texting you back because he doesn't care and wants to be horrible. But, it's far more likely that he's a bit unsure of himself, a bit undecided about how he feels, and he's afraid of saying anything one way or the other. People rarely do the easiest and most straightforward thing, you know. :smile:

As for Tuesday, be yourself. In every way. Make a huge, huge effort to greet him normally and behave exactly as you would any other day, even if you're shaking inside. Let him say whatever he's going to say without any prompting, and take it from there.

Very best of luck.
hello there,,
i think u worry too much about your crush! in my opinion you shouldnt write that note but get the courage and talk to him. i find it easier to say sth than giving it written to be honest! however try to act normally when you next see him. if he responds back to your feelings it will be wonderful. if he shows that he ignores you then dont waste time trying to persuade him to like you. probably he does like you but was kind of surprised because im sure he didnt expect that from a shy girl like you although you spend time together. wear your best smile and prepare yourself that whatever happens you are still going to be cool =]

Yeah Defo. :badger:

It was the infamous female change of mind coupled with male clumsiness that did it for me.

First let me echo what that Metropolis said- you told him how you felt instead of letting things pass by. That's a very difficult thing to do, and highly commendable.

This may seem like a very stupid thing to say, but perhaps he has no money on his phone? Although if he's quiet (as you say he is), then he's also probably a very shy person like you are. Imagine how you'd feel in this position. He's probably spent the past day trying to think what to say to you. His emotions will be all over the place. Give it time, and if he hasn't got back to you by the time the weekend is over then he's not a very nice person. I can pretty much guarantee that he will get to you though (that is, if there isn't a problem with his phone), as no one in the right mind would leave someone hanging like this. It'll all be okay, i'm sure...
If someone wrote they liked me on a piece of paper and then ran away after giving to me I'd think they were joking.

I think he wants for you to speak to him face to face.
I know you'll probably be hung up over it completely but just try and keep your mind off it as best as possible. Perhaps he wants to speak to you in person... a lot of people do hate texting as it's hard to say what you want.

Well done on your bravery!! Very few girls can do that, and I respect those who do :smile:

Thanks everyone, I didn't expect so many replies in one hour... I am really touched (not joking )
And yea I still cannot believe I've told him! Its just totally against my character, maybe it shows that I actually really like this guy, to an extend I've changed myself so much.

On the other hand, although I don't wanna try to make myself sound negative, I am 1000% not sure about ''perhaps he's just waiting to talk to you face to face''. I know texting is not a good way to sort things out, but he got my MSN ( and we do sometimes chat on it, longest being 7 hours, but ALL about work :frown: !) If I were him, and i do like this girl, I would wait for her on msn.

So I think the possiblities are
1) He is a horrible guy and doens't care about anyhing but his work
2) He doesn't like me and doesn't know how to reject me

I really do hope he's just being unsure, but I know I am just day-dreaming lol
My fd told me don't think too much, just be fds with him.
But......I know we can never be normal friends anymore, perhaps he will never hang around with me. I sort of know what's going to happen on Tuesday --pure embrassment between me and him.
He won't understand being with him has became my every day life
. When he smiles, I feel nothing but happiness. When he sometimes ignore me and being ''cold'' to me for no reason, my mind would just go blank, and go back home shutting myself in the room, crying and thinking ''why are you so horrible to me, i am always always so good to you....''

But thing is, at least I won't regret about what I've done. He might start to ignore me from now on, or if he wants to I can pretend i never met him before :frown: I only want him to be happy, coz, I really like him, sincerely.

Romantic banter 4tw.
This is a nice thread. I actually really hope it does work out well for you and I'm not even a very nice person.

same here really. I don't think I could take someone who did that seriously. I would think their friends dared them to do it or something.
Put yourself in his shoes. There's a good chance he's worrying like crazy because he dosn't want to phone you, then find out you were playing with his emotions (which you weren't, but it could easily be seen as that).

Can't you try to get his number off a friend and phone him or something?

I think I will continue to update this thread untill Tuesday, I don't think I can survive without supports from you :smile:

I feel so bad this morning, partly because he hasn't got back to me, but mostly because I am thinking what if his mind is now all over the place and couldn't do his work due to me? I am such a selfish girl, I know he's working so hard to het his 3As, I really shound't disrupt him when his first exam is only a week away. I rather hope he is indeed a horrible person and doens't care about me now!
I have no idea how a guy thinks (so please help me!) , would you feel kind of annoyed when a girl you doesn't fancy at all fancy you? I have no intention to cause any troubles to him :frown:
