Two Scenarios - March 18th 2010, 02:10 PM

Two scenarios:
If I like a girl, but she's straight, should I never tell her I like her?
And:
If I like a girl, and she's gay, but she'sa junior and I'm just a freshman... is she too much older? Should I tell her I like her?


Hey, I'm Jonah. I like Degrassi, writing, and hanging out with friends. I'm sixteen years old and I am FTM transgender, although these days I identify more as just plain male.
I just wrote up a huge thing about the significance of my username, just to find out it was too long. So if you're curious about it, feel free to ask me.
I used to go on here a lot, but lately I don't go on very much at all. Either way, you should still leave me a message some time, I'm very friendly

Re: Two Scenarios - March 19th 2010, 02:40 AM

i used to be straight and my bi friend told me that she liked me. it was nice to know this because, it answered a lot of questions about her recent bahavior and it made me more careful of her feelings. however everyone is different and she might take it in a negative way. up to you.
i don't think age matters. If it doesn't seem awkward to you, then yeah do tell her.


" One day at a time, this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering. "

i wonder when i'll finally jsut start accepting myself, when i'll stop saying i wish i could be like that person.

i have facebook, and myspace. and you can ask for it. :P

Re: Two Scenarios - March 19th 2010, 01:30 PM

Scenario the first: Honestly, I've gone both routes, and regretted both. There's been a guy I didn't tell because I was /sure/ he was straight, and then found out later that the reason he was hanging out with me so much was because he had a crush on me (though he still identifies as straight). I've also told my best friend that I had a crush on him, and not only been very rudely rejected, but lost a good friend for about 6 months until he could come to terms with my sexuality.

Second Scenario: I'm from Canada, so I'm pretty sure that that's 11th/9th grades, right? I've known two couples that were seniors/freshmen. It depends on how you both feel about it (and, of course, each other), and you'll likely draw a few extra stares because of the age difference, but two years really is just a drop in the pond when you like someone. =]

Re: Two Scenarios - March 20th 2010, 11:15 AM

First: it depends. How close are you to this girl? What do you think she'll say if you tell her? You have to figure out how much you have to lose/gain by telling her (and how much you're willing to risk), and what exactly you're hoping to achieve.
I've been there, not knowing whether to tell someone or not. In the end I did, and kind of regretted it, but different people, different situation, so who knows how it'll go?

Second: I'm not too sure of the age gap there (being from the Land Down Under lol), but I think that if you really like her, you should tell her; and chances are if you're both right for each other, the age won't make a difference. Some people might make a fuss about it, sure, but hey, it's your decision, right?

Good luck, with whatever you choose to do.

To you people from foreign lands (lol), that's an 11th grader and I'm in ninth grade. So I'm fourteen and she's about sixteen.

Re: Two Scenarios - March 20th 2010, 04:58 PM

first one: personally no, i wouldn't tell her. you could try flirting with her and see how she reacts. but i wouldn't outright say 'i like you' cos if she's straight [and definitely straight] then she may be a little weirded out and it might compromise your friendship. as for the second scenario, no i don't think she's too old for you. if you like her, and she's into girls then i don't see why you shouldn't tell her you like her or at least flirt with her and get to know her more. see how it goes!


..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..

Thank you for that.
Well, that age difference doesn't seem so bad to me. I was thinking like thirteen and seventeen or something lol.
But fourteen and sixteen is only two years, which isn't really much when you think about it.

Well you never know for sure if the girl is straight. And age is just a number im some cases. A 2 or 3 year age difference shouldnt be much of a problem
