Dear Bearby,
I really like this guy and we kinda talked during the summer but I don’t know if it was as friends or more in a flirty way. My friends say it was flirty. He even sent me a song which was really cute.
He’s a football guy, though, and I don’t fit the basic stereotype of what a football guy likes which is really bringing me down, but I don’t know how to let him go. If I tell him I like him, I would probably look stupid because probably hella people like him! Help- should I tell him or stay quiet?
From,
Flirty Friend
Dear Flirty Friend,
Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of stereotypes! A deeper connection will be based on your true personality, not the “basic standards.” Since you’re already friends with him, it is definitely worth seeing if you can take your friendship to the next level. Try sending him a sweet song back or ask him if he’d like to hangout. You can gauge his reaction then to see if he might be interested. If you’re still not sure, it never hurts to make the first move and shoot your shot! More likely than not, your friend may just be too nervous to make the first move himself. Best of luck!
Love,
Bearby
