…Can’t I tell her how I feel?
I don’t know why I’m writing this, probably just so that someone knows how I feel. Basically, there’s this girl that I love – I’m sure of it. We went out a couple of years ago, and she told me that she loved me then, and I told her the same. It actually seemed serious - I couldn’t believe it. Inevitably we broke up, after 6 months or so together. But since then, the way I feel about her hasn’t changed. We’re still great friends, and we talk a lot at school and on MSN etc, but I’m sort of at that stage when I know that she does not feel the same way. I don’t know why I know it –I just do – and it’s pretty depressing.
What makes this whole situation worse is that one of my best mates really likes her. Now this isn’t really a problem, except that he is not the sort of guy that is likely to admit it. He hasn’t told me, but it’s so obvious it’s unbelievable. He waits for her outside her classes and does everything possible to be near her – whether it’s hanging around at the same place as her at break or standing near her in a queue or something. I’m not that sort of person. As I said, her and I talk a lot, and (I think) we enjoy each other’s company. But, I’m not a dog on a leash; I enjoy doing other things. But all the time, there is this niggling jealousy inside me, almost as if her and I are still together. It really gets to me, when I know it shouldn’t, and this is what makes it so much harder to accept.
Another problem with my situation is that this girl is pretty – VERY pretty (and has a very nice figure too, I was a very lucky guy). This means that lots of other guys find her attractive. Whilst they don’t follow her around like my mate does, they really enjoy touching her legs or chest whenever they get the chance. They give her lots of hugs (in comparison to what they give to the other girls) and just generally try and touch her up. Once again, I’m not like this. I realise how nice she looks, and even compliment her on her appearance every so often. But I’m not going to just go and grope her – I respect her, I love her, so why would I do that?
The problem with all this is that it she seems to really enjoy it. She never pushes someone away or tells him to stop touching her. This really bugs me and it isn’t even my choice whether they touch her or not! This makes me feel like it’s the more direct people that she pays more ‘attention’ too, even though me and her treat each other like real friends; I don’t treat her like a tart. This leads me onto the more important issue of admitting how I still feel…
What do I say exactly? I don’t really think there’s any way of telling her, especially as she normally has 5 guys climbing all over her. I would tell her by phone or something, but I believe in telling someone this sort of thing face to face. I was thinking about just asking her to be my date to the Prom this year for starters, but there are even problems with that. Firstly, she could say that she already has a date (and that always looks really stupid) or she could realise how I feel without me actually telling her. But my confidence is so low at the moment I don’t know if I could even ask her this. Anyway, she probably has loads of offers from the perverts who just want her for the after-party fun and frolics. That would be a nice bonus, I won’t deny that, but I’d just love her to go with me, just as proof that she still cares. Well, if she still does, that is.

Cheers guys, appreciate the pointers.
If she still likes you as a friend, ask her to the prom, you don't need to be going out to go to the prom, and if she knows you still like her as a friend, she'll probably say yes.
No point telling her if you know she doesn't like you. Keep some dignity.
Otherwise, tell her.
Otherwise, tell her.
I will give it anyway; because it’s not going to take me long to say.
Talk to her.
There, I’m done.
Talk to her.

English_Bloke makes me laff.
Heh, thanks a lot :-)
I would give some advice, but I've just been dumped, so what do I know?
