I liked a guy like that too..popular, sweet, cute, but athletic. We texted too, and finally told him over text how I feel, because I think of Taylor Swift as like, the Godess of love. One of the things I learned form her music is that if you so clearly know how you feel about something or someone, you shouldn’t be afraid to express it. You need to Speak Now. If he doesn’t like you back, he’ll tell you, and you need to be okay with that. At least you didn’t go right ahead and chase him your entire life, because it takes two to be in a relationship. Right now, it’s only you. If he doesn’t feel the same way, though, at least there’s open air between you and him…at least there are no secrets. You might even become better friends! If he doesn’t like you, don;t get bummed out. That just means one person has been crossed off your list of 3 billion people that could become your husband. It’s just one step closer. At least you know he isn’t right for you. Also, he might really like you and just using your friend as an excuse to talk to you…you never know, Give it a try…just tell him. It’ll feel awkward but I promise, you’ll feel better.
