Do I have a chance with this guy? Is what I did encouraging or weird?

Hello! In high school, I used to write encouraging letters to my crush by putting them in his locker every week. Below is an example of what I write:

“It’s down to only one full week! This is actually way to fast :( I’m very excited for the Banquet, and I hope it would be fun this year. I heard that you would have your reception this Sunday… I hope I would be able to go there… Anyways. It’s down to only four days left! How amazing is that! Are you going to write letters for your friends? I think that would be a good idea to write them something encouraging and something that you’re thankful about them. Well… I don’t know how many letters I would get to write you before you actually graduate, but I hope these letters encourage you and make you feel better as you read them. You are a godly young man, and you are truly a blessing in my life (although we don’t talk a whole lot, because I am ridiculously too shy…) May the Lord bless you and be with you throughout this rough week!!!♥

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,

whose confidence is in him.”

Jeremiah 17:7”

We go to Christian school, so I would write him something encouraging. If he has track meets, then I usually would mention something about it. I finally told him 3-4 years after high school that I was the one writing them. This is his respond, “Hmm, I can’t quite remember what I thought, but I do remember the notes. Thanks for doing that for me! I definitely found them supportive and encouraging throughout my days then”

Do I have a chance of being with this guy? Is what I did weird rather than touching/encouraging?

Those letters you wrote were actually really sweet! It shows you cared about him in a thoughtful way. Not weird at all.

Most guys wouldn't be weirded out by a girl writing encouraging notes, as long as it wasn't too often or overbearing. Sounds like you did it just right.

His response years later seemed really positive too - he remembered them fondly! That's a good sign.

I'd say you definitely have a chance still. You clearly made an impression on him in a good way back then with your kindness.

If you reconnect and start chatting, that history could help you bond. Say you're glad he remembered those notes fondly.

Ask how he's been, find common interests now. Flirt a little! I bet he'd be open to seeing where things could go.

Guys love a girl who shows she cares even from afar. With your history, I say go for it and see where it leads! You never know.

What’s the problem with that it’s encouragement
