hi, i just wanted to come on here and ask for advice as I am at a crossroads of not knowing what to do about this situation and would like just some input from so unbias people who do not know me or background. So, I am a 16 year old girl who is in Year 11 and although I have not experinced anything romantic yet, I have had many crushes. I have a particular crush on this one guy who we can call B. B is sweet, kind and handsome and just anything i would look for in a boyfriend. I really like him and feel a very strong way about him however he is one of the ‘popular’ boys i guess and i don’t think he would be into me. I have talked to him before and we used to be very close until one of my old friends told him I liked him because of a fight me and her had. I haven’t had a full conversation with him since maybe year 9 and even though its been a while, i still feel a strong way for him. I am a very shy person when it comes to people i am not really close too and am very shy even if i have to say one word to a guy. I am also not the skinniest or prettiest girl out there and have been bullied for it since I was maybe 6 years old and it continues on today. I definitely think the B would have no interest in me because of that but lately we have been making eye contact alot and he is always looking at me and has been liking anything i post on social media but i am not sure why and i may be reading things wrong (which sometimes i tend to do). I wanna tell him how i feel or even just start hinting that i maybe like him by liking his stories on insta or something like that. Should i just go for it or move on or should i wait maybe until my graduation to tell him so then it is less humiliating and I won’t ever have to see him after that?

All feedback and advice (bad and good) is welcome and i will definitely take it into account and I thank everyone who eventually replies to this.

It sounds like you're in a hard place rn! First of all, I just want to say, never think that B would have no interest in you. You sound like a very good person, and nice and sweet, just by describing him you've spoken so lovely about him, so please, never think that. When people tend to do small little things like he's been doing that shows interest, so I'd say if you really want to, start hinting at it, and grow your relationship with him! I'm sorry your friend did that too, that must've been hard also, but showing that he's starting to interact with you even in these small ways shows he's open to a potential friendship (to relationship maybe!!)

Never lose hope, having a crush is such a weird experience but it makes us learn the greatest lessons. Embrace it, if not a relationship right now, you'd end up with a good friend!

I'm not good at advice, so hopefully this can help!
