A Little Cup of Cyanide

So, I have a question for the guys out there who are uber nice and want to answer this. You’ll have to read this post to get the story. Anyway, I had a talk with someone. She suggested I just tell him I like him. The problem is, I’m super shy. So she suggested just starting out by adding him to Facebook and leaving him a message. It’s a start, and it’s not too obvious, because people are adding people on Facebook all the time. So I add him and send him a message. About two seconds after sending the message, I get this sinking feeling, like HOLY FUCK! I was totally obvious. The message was something like “Hey, we talked to you in class a few times, and you seem like an interesting person.” Obvious, right? So just to be sure, I asked one of my guy friends what he thinks. He says it’s blatant flirting to him. So now I’m like oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, this is bad.

It gets worse. This was about two weeks ago. He hasn’t said anything to me. So I have no clue what’s going on. I mean, what if he thinks it’s just me giving him a compliment, and he has no clue I like him? But what if he does know I like him, which is the more likely option? Why isn’t he saying anything? Does he just hate me? So if I go actually tell him I like him is it just going to make me annoying because I keep telling him when he’s obviously not interested? Or is he just super shy like me and can’t respond?

As you can see, I have a dilemma. I need answers. At this point, I think I can tell him, but I don’t know if it’s a good idea now. anybody have suggestions?
