This is a post I need to write just to get my thoughts out of my mind, however if anyone has any thoughts or advice on this, I would LOVE a message. Really, really love it lol.
I apologize in advance for this being LOOONG…..but again, I’d love for you to read and comment lol.
So, I became friends with this guy this semester that my friend introduced me to. It started off as us just being like “Hey….person I just met…..” and moved to us occasionally talking on facebook because we played the same game. Then we started talking a lot on facebook. Then we started meeting with some other friends to get food later at night. Then he started coming to an occasional meal. Then he came to hang out once. Then he started coming to lots of meals. Then we started hanging out more………and now we’re like best friends. It literally is the weirdest thing to me if I don’t see him or, at the very least, talk to him every day.
I don’t tend to have many guy friends…unless they’re gay…and when I do we don’t tend to hang out often, and if we do it would like NEVER be alone, ever.
I think I like this guy……….but there are so many issues that come along with this.
1. ………..pretty much everyone I know thinks he’s probably gay.
Honestly, when I first met him I kind of thought he was too. Now I can’t decide. I don’t know if it’s because I have feelings for him that I’m pretending it’s not true, but it really is confusing as to whether or not he’s straight. If you ask him he will tell you he’s straight. He’s had many a person question him about being gay and he swears he’s not. He had some sterotypically gay tendencies….but he also has some stereotypically straight ones. And there are so many things I could go into with this, but the main point is that ……..no one is really sure. And everyone I know is like “He’s gay.” but I’m like “….but is he?”
2. He likes another girl.
Lol, right? Everyone thinks he’s gay. But he talks about this girl he likes. She’s from his hometown and they used to like each other but then ended up dating other people and now he still likes her but doesn’t know if she likes him. And he wants her to come her and for us to all be best friends. And mentally I’m kind of like …………yaayy…………. with an extreme lack of enthusiasm lol.
3. I don’t want to lose him as a friend.
He’s seriously one of the most amazing friends I’ve ever had. Even after such a short amount of time I am sure of this. And I’ve never had a boyfriend before. And I’m 19 and know nothing about dealing with guys because I’ve never been in a relationship ever. And I’d be afraid to tell him because in my head he’s either gay or likes another girl …………yet I still like him. Because I can’t help it.
And I’m just confused. Whenever he mentions this other girl I’m kind of like “Waitwhat?” (not out loud lol) because I’m just like……..I don’t know. I suppose having so few guy friends in my life, I don’t know if this is an average relationship for a straight guy and a straight girl who haven’t known each other for an extremely long amount of time lol. So now I’m going to ramble about it.
-We are together every day.
-We eat meals together.
-He sleeps on my floor because he’s too lazy to go back to his dorm.
-He teases me like crazy, he tries to make me laugh at like all times.
-If I’m sad he does everything he can think of to put a smile on my face.
-On my first day of nazi kindergarten (see other post of mine lol) the second he heard I was upset he was like “I’m coming over” and hugged me as I cried and didn’t study for his tests so that he could make me happy instead and now pretty much wants her killed for making me unhappy.
-He calls me to tell me he’s on his way over or on his way back to his dorm or something stupid and then just stays on the phone talking about random things or nothing.
-When we first started hanging out we never hugged but we’d linger like maybe we should and then wouldn’t. So the first time we hugged was one day when he stomped away mad from me and my friend for some reason or another, I yelled after him that I wanted a hug before he left and he immediately stopped, came back, and hugged me twice before going on his way.
-Now we hug alllllllllllll the time.
-Whenever any of my friends invite him somewhere, he asks if I’m going before confirming. If I don’t want to go he insists that I should attend.
-He tickles me to death all the time. All the time.
-We’ve kind of cuddled. Many times.
-He lays on me all the time.
-Sometimes our hands or legs touch and seem to linger longer than necessary.
-I tend to grab his hands to make him stop tickling me or stop putting his arm in my face or whatever, and sometimes I feel like he keeps doing it just so I’ll do that.
-Or he holds onto my hands.
-He tries to stop me from doing things that he thinks will lead to my unhappiness.
-My roommate/best friend went to get drunk for the first time and I didn’t like it, so he stayed with me all night and helped me take care of her so I didn’t have to deal with it alone.
-Pretty much everyone I know now expects us to be together at like all times and if we aren’t then they’re like “Wait……………………where is he?”
-There are occasional days where he stops to tell me he likes my shirt or that I look cute that day.
-He constantly speaks of the future in a way that’s either teasing “How are you going to survive break without me?” or serious “I don’t know what I’m going to do when you graduate.” (he’s a freshman, I’m a sophomore)
I don’t know, I could keep rambling but this post is really long lol.
I started writing this post like a week ago and never posted it. Now I’m finishing it and probably posting it.
But last night he was talking about girl he likes again and how he’s so excited to see her over thanksgiving break and how he misses her so much and how he still likes her and wonders if she still likes him.
And pretty much I’m just confused.
But I guess we’re just like best friends and I read into things too much and if you’re reading this you might just think I’m crazy.
But as I said, I needed to get this out. And I’d currently rather do it to a bunch of people I don’t really know than to a close friend who has the ability to tease me to death in front of him. xD
I appreciate if you stuck through this whole thing! (that looks shorter here than in microsoft word…) xD
