so this guy and i have been super close since freshman year.(now juniors) idk why but ive always felt like hes had a soft spot for me (not to sound cocky). hes super shy and doesnt have experience with girls so i didnt think much of it and we just continued to be friends. ive liked many boys since weve been close friends and he knows that but now im really falling for him. hes said things like if we werent such close friends id ask u out and always called me beautiful but since ive liked him hes been backing away. idk what to do or how to get him back!!! my friend asked him if he had feelings for me and then he asked me why she said that and i just said idk. i like him sooooooo much but then again i feel like i dont deserve him. hes also the most insecure person ik and i always try helping him. does anyone have advice? or things to say to him?
