How do I break the awkwardness of me and my crush?
Here's my situation:
Sometime in the first week of 7th grade, I was forced by the teacher to sit in the middle of two dudes. It was the worst, I thought. So one afternoon when the teacher dismissed us, my friend came up to me and says that the guy I was sitting with had a crush on me and he told her so. She told me every single detail, how the guy looks at me (I never pay attention to anyone and anything so I never had the chance to notice, I was busy drawing) and how he keeps asking her for advice.
I never really believed her. But when I walked down the halls after that conversation with my friend, I saw the dude she was talking about.
He waved and smiled and came up to me. He, suddenly, tells me that he likes me. I blushed so hard that my face must've been the color of a tomato.
I just stood there never knowing what to do, speechless. He waved goodbye and that hell see me tomorrow.
We've been good friends I guess, but all of the sudden he texts me if I liked him back.
I never answered. I didn't know what to answer. Sure, he's been my crush for a while, but this is huge. The next day had been awkward. Then the other. Then the other. When we do talk, he keeps stuttering, I kept stuttering, everything is just awkward. WHAT DO I DO? PLEZ HELP.
