Infatuated

[Danny.Robertson]

So. Everyone it's story time. Let me take you back. 16 years a go a came out of my mot... NOPE, TOO FAR BACK. How about two weeks? Yeah? Okay, let's carry on. Two weeks ago, I started college, it's on the grounds of my old school so I thought I'd know most people in my classes. In two of my classes there is a guy. And here is where it starts to get interesting. I have know this man (Who we shall call Harry (A) because it's his name and (B)I like that name), for two weeks I have known Harry and over that time, I have became totally infatuated with him. He's tall, he's cute, he's funny, he laughs at my jokes (which is no mean feat for anyone), he's really smart, he helps me with the work i'm behind on, he's generally an all-around nice guy and that's what I like about him. But then there is that one problem. He's male aaaand... so am I aaaaaand what makes it worse is... I am lead to have the serious belief that once again, the guy I like is straight as the edge of a ruler and unfortunately I'm about as gay as a handbag full of rainbows. So once again I'm in a path where if I turn back, I get my heart taken out and if I go on and tell him he cold shun me. Should I say or should I go? (Yeah, I did that on purpose(that last line I mean))

Give subtle hints to him that you are LGBT-friendly (as a LGBTer) and that you like him, but more than as a friend. Subtle hints are enough to make someone get the message, but not enough for the person to think you're doing it on purpose. That is safe, because no harm is done if he won't make the relationship start, and no pressure is put on him by you if he likes you. I've been in situations like you when I get attracted to somebody who is straight and doesn't like me back, so you're not alone in this. Good luck :D

I can even subtly hint to it because my 'friend' went and said to him. I just want to leave and never see him even though it'd hurt too much on top of this.

Then I guess you let go of him. It is a very hard thing to do (had to do it myself), but sometimes logic needs priority over feelings. If it can't go anywhere, don't spend your thoughts on making it go somewhere. The later you wait to let go, the more your feelings develop for him, and the harder it will be.
