Let him go, he doesnt feel the same way
Well first off, he doesn’t like you.
Second, you’re overreacting in front of him.
You may not be close friends again, it will be in his head… forever(lol). My tips are… keep cool and stay cool(lol). Just act like he’s another ugly guy you’re not interested in.
How long was your friendship before he found out that you liked him?
He started avoiding you when he found out but is he still avoiding you? If he is still avoiding you, I would say just let him go. If he were a true friend, he would have found the courage to tell you that he just wanted to be friends and kept BEING friends with you. If he was a friend for a period of time and is trying to patch up your friendship, it depends. If you honestly can’t stand him or it hurts just too much then don’t try to force yourself into anything. It is not your friends’ decision on what you do, it is yours.
If you do want to be friends again and he is receptive, start slow. Start smalltalk again and see what he says. If he is still kind of cold toward you, don’t freak yourself out over trying to figure out just what to say. He should be the one trying to patch it up if he wants your friendship back. Good luck in deciding.
Oooh…
Well, at least you’re not bugging him about it, which is good.
I’m shy too, so I understand how that feels. I would at least try..to talk to him, even just once, to confirm that something is wrong and move on or a brand new chance at love.
So..don’t text him, because he might ignore it if he’s really avoiding you. Catch him in class somehow, you know, and have a little talk. There’s nothing wrong with a friendly talk, right?
If he’s avoiding you over something so trivial like that, then..he’s being a jerk. That’s when you should move on.
:”) but that is up to you.
