How I found out my boyfriend liked me

How I found out my boyfriend liked me



I don't think there are really any morals or lessons to learn from this story but I just wanted to share it.


So we barely spoke in senior school but he would message me on fb now and again (even years after we'd both finished there!) only conversations would be breif and very infrequent. He asked me if I had Skype around November 2014 and we had a couple convo's on there, I did find that a little weird though as he had a girlfriend at the time but then it was only audio call. She dumped him on boxing day and I tried to help cheer him up and give advice on fb, he told me I was a good friend and he was glad he met me. He spoke to me more on fb but I'd stopped skyping him for a bit since I was seeing someone at this point so felt it would be wrong. The guy I had been breifly seeing cheated on me and I felt terrible. I told my classmate and he sent me a nice message trying to help me and offered to speak on Skype. We started skyping and facebooking more and more, talking on cam and he even asked for my number when he went on holiday so we could still chat. He told me I was his best mate. I developed and more of a crush on him, sure I already thought he was cute in school but now I'd got to know him more and he was so caring towards me.. I liked him so much more. But he kept calling me "m8".


One day back in October we were talking on Skype and he mentioned about messaging this girl we knew on fb but her going offline straight afterwards. I asked why he'd messaged her as I thought he found her annoying and he said he did, he just wanted to see what she'd do. I wondered if she would reply if I messaged and he said she probably would "The b****!" I said I'd best not though, and she had messaged me a little while back. He suggested that she liked me, since she was a lesbian. I wanted to test him so said "Nah, nobody likes me m8" this caused him to say


"Someone does m8"


"Yh.. Like who?"


"Idk m8! But someone does. Trust me."


"But who though? There are only 2 boys in my class who I never speak too and I don't really go anywhere besides college. Only person who likes me atm is my ex - And I'm NOT interested!"


"Someone else does m8"


"How do U know?"


"Some people are good at hiding at their crushes m8, like me - I hide mine."


"But what if they like you back but you never find out because they think you don't like them?"


" ...I don't know m8"


The convo went on and he mentioned about how the boys would rate the girls in school. I wanted to test him so asked "Yh, what did I get? 1?"


"Nah I think it was 5 or 4"


"That's low! My self esteems ruined now"


"U got higher than some the other girls - Some were in the minuses!"


"Still low though"


"And you got higher than K (his ex)"


"Well I still hope I've gotten higher since"


"U.. Probably have m8"


"Yh? What am I now then?"


"IDK! Like I said I don't rate people, I just walked away when they did that. Besides, why u asking me for? I'm your mate"


Again the convo went on and he came up with


"Anyway, who did u like in school?"


I wouldn't tell him until he told me who he liked. I was hoping so much he would say me but instead he gave me the name of some other girl so I said one of my other crushes in that school.


The next day I decided I would have to stop with this crush thing. I mean "Why you asking me for? I'm your mate" and saying he liked some other girl in school? How much more proof did I need that he didn't like me that way? I had to stop liking him.


But then he messaged me in the afternoon, it started off fairly normal but then he asked


"You know what we was chatting about yesterday m8?"


"What m8?"


"About the boys rating the girls"


"Oh yeah"


"Remember now?"


"Yes"


"Well, u know when u asked me what u r now?"


"Yh?"


"Do u want me to tell u?"


"Go on then"


"10 m8"


"Rly m8?"


"Yep"


"Aw thanks m8"


"It ok m8, ur nice girl"


"Thx m8, ur nice too"


":) And there was someone else I like in school m8"


"Who m8?"


"I don't want to say m8"


"Pleeeaase?"


"I don't know m8, it be awkward if I told u"


It was obvious by this point it was me so I said I would say one of mine first. I told him I thought he was cute at one point and he said that was the same as his. He asked if I still liked him and I said I did a bit and asked if he still liked me and he said he did too. He also said he didn't want to make it awkward, but I was still cute. He was so shocked about me liking him -


"I am shocked", "I'm still shocked about u like me m8"


"R u still a bit shocked?"


"A bit m8, was u joking m8?"


He even asked me again the next day - "Was u joking about we was chatting about yesterday?", "So u like like or just like?"


He even said he would have stop calling me m8 (and has now!) a few days later he awkwardly asked me out - "Do u think it wld be awkward or weird if we went out?" and I said I didn't think it would be. I remember panicking though about losing him if it went wrong but he promised if it didn't work out, we cld go bk to being friends.


Oh, did I mention the day I found out he liked me was my birthday? I actually had to pinch myself a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming lol! Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed :)
