For some background, I like this girl named Sarah. I am 19 now, and I just finished my first year of college. Sarah and I went to HS together and we are both back at home for the summer. On and off throughout HS, I had a crush on Sarah, but I hardly talked to her, so I never said anything before I went to school. However, we are both part of a large group of friends that hang out nearly every evening, and we have began to talk a lot more.
Since I felt I should tell someone about my interest in Sarah, I told one of her best friends, Kim. Kim is also a good friend of mine (yes, that was a stupid idea) and I thought it was safe to tell her. I just wanted to gauge interest and see if they could tell me if it was a good idea to pursue Sarah or not. Long story short, it wasn't. Kim told me, indirectly, that it wasn't a good idea because she was in the "talking" stage with another guy. I decided to just kinda give up and swallow my feelings because it wasn't going to happen. Also, hoping Kim wouldn't mention anything to Sarah, I thought it was fine to forget it all . . . Well, Kim told Sarah that I liked her, as you can probably imagine.
I spoke with Kim today and she told me that she had informed Sarah of my interests. She said Sarah was very cool about and she wants me to come and tell her in person. Kim says Sarah wants to tell me her feelings. I am not sure why she wants to give me the rejection feelings that I am already aware of. Is that what this is? I feel that I already know whats going to happen, and to save me the face-to-face rejection I am going to face, I would rather not go talk to her about that. Also, the past few days, she has been trying to plan a week long road trip with Kim and I. She seems quite excited about that, but it is a group event, so whatever.
Thanks for the help!!
