I consider myself a cute, intelligent and fun-loving girl. I have known ‘G’ for many years and I consider him one of my closest friends. I am a normally outgoing girl but the idea of telling him that I fancy him makes me break out in hives and freeze up like Peeves just dropped cold water on me or something. I feel like maybe it would be better for both of us if I just told him how I feel about him. I know it certainly wouldn’t hurt my ability to concentrate in class which is fleeting at best these days!
Every time I start to open my mouth to tell him how I feel it comes out as a joke about us being together in the future and while he plays along it really isn’t all that funny. I really don’t want to write him a letter about it either because that seems sort of fourth year. I’m sort of running a deadline here. Mucking around much longer isn’t going to cut it. There is a war going on and one or both of us could get killed tomorrow and I really don’t want to die a virgin. I wish I knew how to make him take me seriously as a love interest instead of just the girl who is a friend. I mean, I’m happy I’m his friend but I would be more than down with getting some benefits out of it.
An additional problem is that his best friend ‘G2’ is always around. I think fondly of ‘G2’ but it makes the potential for any sort of move happening non-existent. I don’t see ‘G’ doing anything in front of his best friend and I probably wouldn’t do anything either. My question is how I can I get ‘G2’ to bugger off so I can have some uninterrupted alone time with ‘G’? Also, how do I go about encouraging ‘G’ to make a move on me short of a love potion? Would it make me a tacky whore if I made the first move?
