Dear _________,
I’m writing this because I’m not daring enough to say what I have to say in person. I doubt you know that I feel this way. But here I am, laying it all out on the line.
When I see you in class or on campus somewhere I automatically become happy no matter what kind of day I’m having. You make me feel important and special even if you’re just being polite. Over the last few weeks, I’ve come to the realization that I like you. I wasn’t planning on it, but it just sort of happened. It was weird when I started to look at you as more than a friend and became even happier than I already was.
Then one day, you talked about a date you were going on. I never felt more crushed in my life. In my head, you talking about another girl meant you weren’t interested in me. So I put my feelings aside and tried to get over you. Now, there are two weeks left in the semester, and I can’t stop thinking about you. As the days are passing by, I feel myself regretting every time we talk, and I don’t say anything about how I feel.
I can’t read you at all or how you feel, but sometimes, I think it might be possible that someone like you could like someone like me. No matter how cliché that sounds, that is what goes through my head when we are together. You are this driven, kind person and I’ve one of the hardest semesters of my life, and I don’t know where my life is going at this point. When I say this to you, you are always supportive and compassionate. I’ve never experienced that before. I’ve never had someone that doesn’t have to care, care so much.
However, even after all of that I still don’t know how you feel. People always say that if a guy likes you, you will know. That worries the you-know-what out of me because I don’t know!
This might be crazy to you if you’re reading this but now you know. Now you know that every time I see you, I smile. Every time we talk, I get butterflies. Every Friday I wonder if this will be the day you ask me to do something over the weekend or if I should work up the nerve to ask you out.
Well, now you know how I feel. If you don’t feel the same way, even in the slightest, I understand. But I feel so much better getting out there. All I ask is that you try to think about this version of me. Not the friend from class or someone to talk about your dates with, but a potential person you could see yourself going out with. If this doesn’t work then we will just be friends, and I can handle that.
Sincerely,
Someone who likes you but doesn’t know how to tell you
