So I’ve liked this guy in my drama since my freshman year (I’m a junior now) and last June he confessed that he’s been liking me for a while. The problem is none of my friends like him. He’s not a bad person, he’s just like really geeky and not exactly conventionally attractive so all my friends think he’s weird and they’re totally against me being with him (none of them know I’ve been liking him) so they pressured me into rejecting him.
I really feel bad for rejecting him, especially because I do actually like him, have for a long time. I’ve been getting advice from his best friend and his friend is telling me that he still likes me and I should just go for it. I’m not sure how I should approach him about this, but I want to let him know how I really feel!
I was thinking about maybe asking him out, but I’m really not confident enough to just straight up ask him out. Should I set up like a casual group hangout with him (with his friends and the friends of mine that actually approve of him)? Or should I just like heyyy wyd are ya free this weekend?
He also lives like 20 minutes away (driving, like an hour walking) so it’s hard to set up anything cuz he can’t just walk over and my parents won’t drive me anywhere :/
Feel free to ask any questions if you need more information about my lil situation!! I really need some advice smh
UPDATE 10/08: So I just found out this other girl in our class likes him as well and is planning on asking him out soon…. help me out guys I know this is my fault but I don’t want to lose him. Honestly, am I beating a dead horse?
