Who I Had a Crush On

When I was a freshman i had a crush on this guy who was a year older. i knew he was straight and i wans't out then but i couldn't stop thinking about him. plus he wasn't weird about gay stuff and said things that made me think he might be ok with me being gay.

What I Did About It

i told my best friend (girl) and she told me to tell him. but i didn't see the point. luckily my friend listened to me talk about him a lot and eventually he changed schools and i go over him.

now i like this guy who is gay, but he has a boyfriend who he's been with forever, so i still dont have a chance.

Advice

  • it's normal to like someone straight but don't expect them to like you back
  • if you don't want to tell the person tell someone who you think will support you.
