school help: i’m graduating from high school and i really want to end everything on my own terms. - Help.com

i’m graduating from high school and i really want to end everything on my own terms.

there is a guy that i’ve liked all year, i’ve sat near him in a few classes and thought we hit it off pretty well…but he asked another girl to prom. he knew i wanted to go with him, or at least i’m pretty sure he did since i talked to his friend about it and boys don’t really keep things to themselves. anyway i still want to tell him about how i feel, so that i can move on from high school without any “what ifs”. i was thinking of telling him with a letter the day after graduation, so that the awkwardness is kept at a minimum. thoughts?

Don’t write a letter.. If anything that’s more awkward. Most guys I know, myself included would be slightly uncomfortable with receiving a letter like that… It makes words seem more dramatic and meaningful… A letter is good for your boyfriend. But not for a guy who you just want to date, or see.

Tell him how you feel. Face to face, it might be scary, but he will appreciate it more.. And be bold about it. Tell him you like him but also say your not expecting him to reply but you just thought he should know… Then walk away.

If he likes you, he’ll let you know after that.. If he doesn’t it won’t be awkward because you wont have forced him into giving a reply. But he’ll respect you for the way you told him and will probably remember that for his whole life.

Do it tomorrow. The awkwardness is what has kept you from telling him how you feel all along. Guys are always expected to do the heavy lifting when it comes to dates and get hurt and laughed at and turned down… it is not fair.

I think you should ask him out. That’s right. Offer to pay and drive and everything you are taking him on a date. I think you will be amazed at the results. Do it now you don’t have any time left!
