ok so there's this guy in my school, Jarod, he's 1 year ahead of me and we don't really have friends that are in the same friend circle (we have a couple in common but they aren't good enough friends that it would let us be around each other a lot). We see each other in the halls and stuff all the time, we're always staring at each other (yes, him too). We've had a couple conversations here and there but not huge or often. it might seem simple, n just tell me to go up to him but here's where we run into a problem, he's always with his best friend, Jayden, i hate him, he's an asshole to every girl except to the ones he has a crush on. A year ago we ran into some problems, my friend was talking to my crush on snap innocently, they felt absolutely nothing for each other, it wasn't even platonic, they just talked to each other once in a while, but not in person. So Jarod must've brought it up at some point to Jayden or something and Jayden started harassing my friend, following her and teasing her about Jarod, pushing them together in the hallways, audibly whispering to Jarod when we were near by, and it just escalated from there. ANYWAYS, after a month or so of that happening Jarod pretty much ghosted my friend and Jayden stopped harassing her, but they both still gave my friend looks in the hallway for obvious reasons. Ever since then its just been awkward with both of them. i feel like Jayden would do the same to me if i ever approached Jarod or if me and Jarod started talking or dating. This isn't some small crush i've liked him for over a year now and its only gotten worse and worse for me. i have a feeling he likes me too (he's always glancing in my direction, especially when i'm alone). what should i do?
How do I tell a guy I don't really talk to that I have a crush on him?
