>>10 If he accepts you, then all's well with the world. If he rejects you with the reason that he isn't interested in you, hen be
glad because he's honest. I've been turned down with the excuse "I'm gay" only to see him prancing for girl after girl throughout the 4 years I've crushed on a schoolmate.
(I later found out that he didn't want to like me at all because I was a subject to bullying.)
Be embarrassed, cry all you want about it, but whatever you do - say it to him in person. Be brave. You're feeling a sentiment for him a lot of girls feel in their lifetime. There's nothing to be ashamed of. And if he wants to cut himself off from your life just because you have feelings for him, then he legit sucks.
