I thought you didn't look my way, or approach me to talk or hang out, or ever hug me or even say hi first, because I meant nothing to you, because you weren't interested in being friends with me.

And then in a flash I realized the exact opposite was the case. That you were experiencing what I've felt so many times. That you didn't look my way (when I was looking) because you were afraid of what I'd see in your eyes, that you never reached out first because you were afraid of coming on too strong- that you were acting that way out of all the insecurities of being in love with someone and not knowing how they feel.

Be bold.

I'll look back at you.

You are never, ever bothering me.

Are you...sure??

Wow. This feels like something my vrush could have written -- or at least I would like to believe she'd write.

Initials?

If you want to believe it's from her, I don't know if I even should tell you my initials. Not to trick you. But if you've been sending some mixed signals and she's made it clear that she at least wants to be friends with you (by sitting with you, hugging you, and so forth) please just tell her the truth about how you feel. I know I'm far from ready to date the friend I wrote this about, but I do want to know the truth about his feelings for certain. It would help me understand.

Go for it. And tell me how it goes. If my friend uses LTC which would be really freaking weird to me, you and I will talk with our names attached soon. Otherwise tell me how it goes.
