Well ok. My confession won’t seem like much compared to the other things on this site but here’s my problem. A few months ago I had a crush on this guy, pretty smart, tall, and handsome (let’s give him the name Jaden), I had gotten over it but not before being head over heels insane for six months. It started one or two months into of the school year when he gave a presentation I had a few questions on (don’t worry, not a professor, just a student like me). After I talked to him I couldn’t stop thinking about him not for a minute. The feelings got a bit more chill with time but I still got that adrenaline rush whenever I saw him. But in May I started dating another guy (I had somewhat gotten over Jaden), let’s call him Nathan, cute guy, slightly shorter than me but I didn’t mind. He didn’t look as bad boy as Jaden did but I was fine with that. One of the reasons I started dating Nathan was because then it would get me closer to his friends who were pretty cool people and somewhat popular. I had just recently broken up with Nathan after solid months together. Jaden is somewhat disliked by Nathan’s group of friends but I feel like I have a lot in common with Jaden. He’s sort of like the type that would be my partner in crime while Nathan is the one holding me back and being afraid. Turns out, Jaden likes me back, it would be possible for us to date but then that would land me in an unfavourable with Nathan’s friends (they’re protective of him, Nathan is relatively immature and sweet for his age considering he’s 16 (two years older than me)). I’m worried I’m missing a good opportunity because of fears that were never rational to begin with. I like Jaden so much that I almost love him. I don’t want this opportunity to be wasted please help 🙁
