| I've known this guy for nearly three years now and recently we've become closer friends. Nothing more, although recently I've realised I really like him. I thought there might be a relationship developing, from the way he is around me, and the fact we text everyday, several times a day. But, I found out I was wrong. On one of the days I didnt see him, he saw his ex with another guy. This totally weirded him out, and he started talking to me about it. He got on a bus, and was texting me, and totally freaking out about it. I tried to calm him down, which is hard by text! He did, and a few mins later he mentioned the fact there was a cute girl on the bus and that was making him more relaxed and distracting him. He's under-confident, and slightly depressed, so I thought it might be the best thing for him to speak to a girl and boost his mood; and maybe even ask her out. Even if it meant having to hide my feelings for him even more carefully. He told m e he'd been trying to pluck up the courage to ask her out for ages. Anyway, that day he bottled it, and the next, and the next. Until he finally told me that he'd been getting mixed messages from his ex, and he'd been putting off asking out this "bus girl" incase he'd get another chance with his ex. He told me that he still loved his ex, and basically described her as a kind of angel. All the while I kept on supporting him, and saying that he should do what he wants to do, and that maybe she's not worth all the heartache, and that he should get it sorted before it messed with his head any more. Everytime i say something like "maybe she's not good for you if shes making you this sad" he says that because i dont know his ex i cant judge it. So, I was (and still am at the mo) trying to convince him to go either ask out this "bus girl" or to find out the truth from his ex, all the while my head is going overdrive, as i realise the more he says he's hurt, and sad, the more i want to protect him and love him, and make sure he never goes through anything like this again. I dont think I can tell him I like him because he'd run a mile, and he needs someone to talk to (apparantly I'm the only person he's talking to about it) . Any suggestions on what I can do or say? |
