Some Insight into why she does this

[Jayson L.]

Alright, im a junior in high school. Back when I was a freshman, I really liked this one girl though it took sometime before we actually started talking because im introverted. Anyway, so our friend introduced us but we didnt really talk in real life only on fb. The most we ever said to each other was hi but anytime we happen to be in each others line of sight, we would stare at each other but not say anything. Anyway, I stopped talking to her after sometime partly because I felt it was awk and that my friend had given hints that I liked her. But it wasn't like we talked that much, we prolly had about 5 convos overall, the most memorable one was when we were talking about how to write an essay about what chemistry is? And she told me write about the chemistry in Romeo and Juliet,I understood that as love but assumed she meant something else. Anyway back to the big picture, we stopped talking though it wasn'ta drastic change to either of us. Yet, two years later, we still stare at each other without saying anything. She looks kinda serious when she looks at me but like I said never says anything. I also notice that sometimes if she sees me walking near her, she turns in that general direction to look at me but pretends like she is looking at something else. I still like her a lot but im not really good with girls as I mainly hang out with guys. Nor am I attractive, im just qn average guy though I have a reputation for being really nice but quiet. So can anyone explain why she stares and never does anything? Its kinda my fault too for not doing anything I guess. Ita also important to note that she doesn't specifically try to go where I am to look at me, she only stares when im around her, she doesn't follow me or anything. So please, I'd like some insight into this and advice on what to do. Sorry for the long passage, but if u managed to read it until here, thank you and id appreciate any input you have. I know I should man up and talk to her but like I said im kinda awkward with girls and I dont have any classes with her though I admit that's not an excuse for not talking to her .

Hey don't worry bud, I am gay and I'm awkward around hot girls (yes I can tell lol). She doesn't go where you are because it would be obvious that she is stalking you. For example, I do the same thing with a guy I like. The looking game, walking by each other not saying anything, the whole nine yards. I don't follow him, but i make sure to go a specific way to my classes to pass by him and get to see him. Do you think your girl does this? Probably. Something you and I don't realize is that if we don't make the first move and say something, anything, then maybe this person that we care so much about will be lost to us.

I know what it feels like to talk and have a brief friendship (if even that) with someone you love and then have them drift away from you, so that it feels like your just another face in the hallway. It's to the point where I don't even say hi even if we are passing each other alone, I made it so awkward that he pulled out his phone and pretended to be on it until we passed each other. I am laughing about it right now but back then oh gawd it was awful lol!

The truth is I have something to lose, I am in the closet still as a junior in high school. You don't. You like a girl. It's by no means easy for you I understand but what's the worst that could happen, she says no to doing something with you (movies, etc)?

It seems like nobody has motivated you to move forward and try something that will make you uncomfortable so I am going to be that person.

Here is your official *KICK IN THE ASS*, go for it and I wish you all the luck in the world!

(I'll keep checking in if you have any more questions too.)

Maybe you are both looking at each other wondering the same thing, wondering what the other is thinking and why you keep doing that. Maybe it is time to bite the bullet and deal with the awkwardness?
