Search Results: finding the right person

I'm an 18 year old high school senior... and around my school, it's no secret that I'm a loner with little to no friends. Ever since freshman year, I've been eating lunch all by myself every single day, and no one really talks to me except for a casual friend with a "hey" or "sup" every once in a while.

Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds. Part of it is because I'm bad at social interaction, but the other part is because I genuinely prefer to be alone. However, even someone who prefers to be alone needs at least some social interaction. Having no one to interact with but the thoughts of your mind can get quite lonely at times throughout a 7 hour day.

However, no one really ever noted it. It's always been an "I mind my own business, they mind their own business" type of thing.

However, in my AP Statistics class there's this girl I have a crush on. For starters, she's extremely pretty. Then getting less superficial, she's a really nice and polite person, and is nice to conversate with. Then into the side things, she's extremely smart, has taken 4 AP classes her freshman year, and 7 all her other years, including her current senior year. Not only that, but she owned them, and got A's and 4's and 5's on all the exams. She's also very involved with the school, being in several clubs and sports. She says that there was no secret to all this, just time management, responsibility, getting started right away, and hard work. She says AP classes and exams aren't that hard.

She's among-st one of the literal smartest people in the school, and lots of people admire her.

She's also really nice to me in specific, smiling and holding the door often, and the other day, she very sweetly told me, "I don't know if you just like to be alone, or if you're having trouble finding a friend, or if it's something else that's more personal, but feel free to talk to me anytime!"

I couldn't believe that she of all people had said that to me.
