As everyone has said each person is different. I'm one of the subtle hint droppers, and one of the guys that do just want to talk. I've confessed a few time but to no avail. Always the best friend never the boyfriend, and those two things are probably why.

if they're interested enough they'll just say it.

Ok I hate when people try to go by signs because there is seriously just no way to tell unless he/she says it. I mean, someone being overly friendly or flirty does not mean they like you, some people are just like that.

Quote from Mamsmilk

It might hurt, but that's life.
It's better to be straightforward and give it a shot. A low self-confidence only makes the pain worse, but it's better to feel the pain for a short while instead of living in fear for a long time.

Easy to say, but not so easy to do as a teenager, because you generally need some life experiences behind you for this sentiment to really take root. Most teenagers don't have the level of confidence that you're talking about, and it doesn't grow on trees.

I didn't get that until I was at university.

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

My bad. That is something I take as given.
No, no, no.
I have been a teen too, so I am not one to excuse myself.
Not hard for me at all. Never was. A truism.

I fail to see what is so damn difficult about it.

Um have you ever really liked someone, I mean really really really like someone. The desire and want alone is enough to kill you and then to be rejected. Knowing you will never quench that thirst or soothe that ache. That's what is difficult, at least that's what I think is difficult about it

No one gives a shit what trite garbage you write here.

Well, I don't really have suicidal tendencies and
I tend to reason my emotions before fueling them
any further. And even if I am to be rejected, I won't
give up just yet. People change. A girl I've liked that
has paid no attention to me has later come to me...
though it was too late for her already, as I had no
longer such feelings towards her anymore.

Ok Mamsmilk I guess we are at an impasse

For some reason I don't think you have ever really liked or loved anyone intimately. Not enough to make an impact you at least.

No one gives a shit what trite garbage you write here.

Girls confuse me.. The girl I like used to lead me on all the time and than she'd bring up the boy she likes when the atmosphere is so heart throbbing. Then I'd be so pissed (although I didn't show it), the boy she likes is one of my closest friends.

They do say that people who have never really fallen in love, fall hard once they do. It's just a matter of time. 🙂

I do, but I doubt I can lose my sensibility due to such things.

I did say 'most'. I know that some have a natural confidence, but that's just not true of all.

It makes sense that you don't get it because you've never had to deal with it. That's why you don't understand how it is difficult for those that it is. Everyone is unique.

It took me a while to grasp that concept myself, though I was trying to grasp it for the concept of those who go through depression and those who haven't and can't understand how it truly feels. You don't just 'get over it'. It's essentially the same concept.

Well, it really is circumstantial. :/ There are all kinds of different people and situations, so you can't say for sure.

What bugs me though is when silly teens interpret a glance as "O MAI GAWD, DID YOU SEE THAT?!! S/HE'S SOOO INTO ME!!1!". Annoying. 😐

I think the thing that a lot of people have a difficult time with is distinguishing between someone being nice and someone being interested. Just because someone is nice doesn't mean there's an interest for anything further. I've had that problem in the past - a guy presuming that just because I use common courtesy that there's more there than there actually is.
