I have myself dug into a hole, I need advice!

[WeAreOneRepublic]

Hi everyone, so my current situation is as stands;

I like this chick and I have a good mate(Y) who talks to her and he comes to me one evening and says the she used to like me. I am somewhat happy about this info and tell my 5 other best mates in our group and they are supportive.

Skip forward about 4-5 days. I normally have my facebook open heaps, too much I think, the one time I close it to do study my mate who told me this sends me a message saying to not tell anyone(specifically mentioning one of the mates in my group(call him X)). I go reiterate this to my group. X is only other one on and sees this and replies with ".........................." and "mmmmmmmmm" and by now I am getting nervous.

Turns out he already went to this girl about asking her about liking me last year. Now turns out she only told 1 person, Y. Y only told me, and I told the other 5. This is unfolding great isn't it? He did try to cover saying he heard from someone else but I don't know if she is buying it. I'm not sure whether to give Y the heads up about this or not in case it's not necessary.

I really need advice because I am in such a conflicted state at the moment. Our school river cruise is tomorrow in case it makes the situation any worse :)

Any and all advice is welcome, thank you!

So, what you're saying is that that girl now knows that you know she used to like you because X told her that and she's now going to blame Y for telling you that...?

Well, if she didn't mention she wanted to keep it a secret, then I guess there's no problem. The only issue I can see in this is that she might be in love with someone else and she didn't want you to give you fake hopes. Either way, she only said she used to like you, it doesn't mean she still does.

I understand what you mean. Its likely she may go to Y and ask who he told. Y would then come to me and thats when things would go downhill. I can give Y a headsup(a few of my friends say I should) and am doing that now.

I am certain she wants to keep it a secret, hence why would she only tell 1 person. She is not certain/has any idea that I like her and the use of love there might be the wrong word to use. I could tell a whole story on how this and that is happening but she doesn't think anybody has feelings for her, which is false because I do, but this information is not fully relevant in the situation.

Anyway, that's not your problem if she finds out Y told someone else. No, why don't you just approach her and try to start a conversation with her, forget about all those issues with the other guys and just get a bit close to her? If she has liked you before, those feelings might appear again if you two get closer again.

Its more Y I need to be cautious around. And approaching her is a so so at the moment, we dont have any classes this year and have only had a proper conversation with her once and thats probably close to 2 months ago. It's 10pm so starting one now is probably not the best. Best mates on now and I think we will leave the conversing about it to tomorrow with a decent sleep.

And yeah I'm trying to get closer but its harder than I thought

I dug myself a trench along similar lines and have ever since been tunnelling through in the hope of finding the only true opening.
This X,Y, crush thing happened to me and X who happened to be her enemy back then started dating her. They broke off an year after and around that time I had to shift school so that the only place I could meet her was on FB. That was five years ago.
I feel if I could have been around we could have been together. It also doesn’t help that I’ve still not got over her.
So my advice is to try to cultivate your friendship, talk to her whenever you can (ok not each and every moment which would be dreadfully desperate) and hope for the best. :)
