A few months or so ago I made a topic like this about a guy that started playing handball with me at lunch. Well, since then he has become a valued friend of mine, my closest guy friend.
But there is a BIG problem. He likes me. How do I know, you ask? Where do I begin!? Early term 3 when I barely knew him, he sat infront of me and one day he turned around and tried to pull me shoe off. I have no idea why. Ages ago when I first starting playing handball with him, his friend told me he liked me. I didn't take much notice of it back then though. Then he started hanging out with me in every subject he had with me (English, Maths, HPE). In HPE, I am basically the only one who he talks to apart from his friend.
For the last few weeks when he plays handball with me, he has been putting his bag on top of mine, which is freaky.
Other key points are that he always looks at me, smiles at me ALL THE TIME, he hates when I'm away and if I'm not playing handball, he doesn't either. And he always picks on me.
Just recently, a new kid came into our English class and we were asked to introduce ourselves and what we like doing. And of course he has to say something stupid. He says "I am ___ and I like to laugh at Jessica!" It was fairly funny though.
I muck around with him all the time, when he kicks me, I kick him back. I smile at him, but in a friend kind of way. I like being around him and sure, I like him, but as a friend.
Sometimes I feel like I am leading him on and gesturing that I like him, but I don't.
I feel as if I need to tell him I don't like him, but I would absolutely hate it if I hurt him because I seriously care for him. He is one of my best friends, boy or girl.
I would hate it if our friendship was ruined because of this.
PLEASE HELP!
