Search Results: forget about a girl

Or do you know such cases where someone would try to forget about someone they like just because he doesn’t fit a certain ideal. I always believed this only happened in high school but I recently heard of it in my circle of friends where a guy would not pursue a girl because she is not „popular“ enough even though everyone knew he had a thing for her. Why do adults (I’m talking 25+) still act so childish and refuse to pursue someone they are into?

So I have explained the before in my past posts, I went to this breakfast thing at our local public high school. We go to private school. About halfway through dinner my crush his sister and her friend decided to show up. His sister and her friend went up to me and said, why don’t you go talk to him he is right there. Of course I was embarrassed, but they got him to go to this hallway. He started running around the halls and he doesn’t know this place at all. He came back eventually and his sister and her friend left to go back to the lunchroom. These girls who are a few years younger than us came and got into all of this. One of them talked to him for a minute but he wouldn’t talk to her unless I was gone, so I went around the corner. The girls left and we talked a little bit. He eventually said I know you like me but I can’t see us together. Ik it sounds bad but there’s more. So he left the hallway and I guess he talked to his sis for a sec. His sister, her friend, and those girls came into the hallway. His sister said forget everything he just said wait on him he will come around. He really does like you he talks about you all the time. He says how your pretty etc. He never says anything bad about you. The reason he said that was because he can’t date or like anyone because of his grades rn. The girl who talked to him earlier said that he said he likes me and stuff too. I’m really confused what should I do.
