Should i tell them?
I feel silly doing this but ive run out of options and i refuse to use AI. i apologize for the paragraph
Important piece of info: Im currently a junior and the guy im talking about is a year older. last year around this time i told the guy im interested how i feel about him (im gonna refer to him as M). He didnt tell me if he felt the same way all he said was ‘im not ready for a relationship right now i can barely take care of myself’ which is totally valid but they never said if they felt the same way. So we continued to be friends, but my feelings didnt go away. M is extremely closed off but they were always fine with telling me personal stuff they didnt tell anyone else. once he offered to drive me home after school and it become a regular thing. everyweek tuesday-thursday they take me home. We drive around my neighborhood talking about nothing and everything, he gets extremely mad at me (in a playful way) when he can tell im upset but i wont tell him whats wrong, he told me it didnt matter the time or circumstance if i ever needed anything he would help in anyway he could, he puts off work and homework just to spend more time with me, fucking hell he said i was his favorite notification. I say all this because i thought my feelings would go away by now, but they havent and i cant tell if he feels the same way. Im afraid if i dont tell him hell graduate and ill regret not ever telling him, but at the same time its kind of embarrassing being like ‘yea all those times you drove me home and hung out with me i actually still had feelings for you they never went away lol’. I really do want to tell them but i dont want to ruin our friendship, and on top of that theyre going through a rough patch with school and work and i dont want to add more stress on them. he graduates in about 2 weeks, i dont know what to do, i need an outside perspective. Thanks for any advice you have.
