This has gotten a lot worse and I am totally losing my head over it. I don't know what to do. I'm going to cry I think.

Talk to him. That's all you can do.

I can't. He's locked himself in his room. I went in earlier and he had obviously been crying and I panicked out of asking him what had happened and just left.
He is totally shutting me out now and it's making me really worried.

Oh man. Sorry, I'm out of advice. I hate it when nobody has the right answer.
Good luck.

I'm a little late....well a lot late, but i'll just comment anyway. The only real thing you can do, is be available for him to talk to. Let him know that whenever he is ready to talk you'll be there to listen to him. When you get the chance to be alone with him, give him a hug and ask him how he is doing. He'll appreciate the fact that you are there for him, and may open up to you. It'll be good to vent it out and you're a good friend for caring.

um, if you know she prob doesn't "swing" that way, then i wouldn't say anything.

but what if she does, and i just dont know it?
Posted: 8/29/2005, 10:59 pm

It'd be a lot more logical to ask her about it without telling her you have a crush on her. There's no need for awkwardness.

if it was me, and somebody asked me that question, i'd never admit it

i just wanted to know if i should tell her how i feel without making it a big deal..or at least without it BECOMING one

It would become one. That's just common sense.
