Who Was It With? 

This one guy. He's really nice and funny, but I don't know him that well...

When Did You Realize It was Love? 

What Did It Feel Like? 

It felt weird, whenever I see him this voice in my head would say "go say hi!" or "go talk to him!"

What Happened Next? 

I didn't tell anyone, not even my friends. I kept it a secret and they never found out. I want to talk to him but everyone knows I'm a very shy person and don't talk that much. It would we weird if I went up to him all of a sudden and started a conversation. Besides, I don't even know what to say! I have one class with him and we NEVER talk. I would catch myself giving quick glances at him when he's not looking. Once, he dropped something near my locker (his locker's near mine) and I had to give it to him. When I saw him the next day, I began to grow nervous. (he was waiting at my locker) My heart was pounding when I handed it to him! He said "thanks", that's probably the first word he said to me ever since I met him. We didn't talk after that...

Now, I'm less shy and I begin to talk more. We still haven't said a word to each other after that incident. I still like him, but it's not like before. I still give quick glances at him, but not as much.

Then one day, I found out something very surprising. I didn't expect it or knew about it until a few days later.

He's going out with someone. I know that girl and she's in one of my classes. She's really nice and pretty. I was happy for both of them but I was also sad that I didn't get a chance to know him. I wasn't jealous or angry when I found out about it. I was only surprised. It's almost as if I don't like him anymore. Actually, I'm not even sure myself if I like him or not. But that's okay, there's still other guys out there.

Lessons Learned

• talk more, don't be shy
