Okay, this is kind of a long story, but I'll do my best to reduce it down.
When we moved to GA, and went to the the congregation near by for the first weekend, I met this totally amazing guy named Craig. He's EVERYTHING anyone could ever want - smart, hard-working, gorgeous, polite, nice, funny, he sings in a deep bass voice, and he's majoring in history, like me! He's fantastic, and of course I fell deeply infatuated with him immediately. I got so excited that there was a guy my age in the church area.
Well, now, there's 8 of us young adults that always hang out together. Craig and I are 19, just for information. Well... Saturday night, we're all hanging out. He is totally focused on another girl in our group, Nikki who is 16. She's gorgeous, and I love her, and she looks up to me as a big sister I think. And she knows I like him.
Nikki would never get with him, even if she liked him, because she knows how I feel for him. But I don't really think she does, Craig isn't her type. But he ADORES her. Wouldn't stop looking at her, talking to her - no one else could get a word in edgewise.
So, here's the most awkward situation I think I've ever faced: I like Craig. Craig is all eyes for Nikki. Nikki may or may not like him, but how can she ever feel what she needs to if I'm saying I like him?
How do I let my attraction to him go? Cause that's really what I need to do. He's WAY out of my league, they would be cute together, and they both are great people who deserve to have someone great.
I can't help but feel hurt and disappointed that he is so enarmored of her and didn't even once consider me, but at the same time I'm wanting to scold myself for even thinking that he would. Guys don't notice me, EVER. And if they do, they think I'm a real cool FRIEND.
So... yeah, awkward to the max. Anyone have any advice on how to let him go, stop liking him, etc.? I can't really avoid hanging out with him... they're church people, our families are close, it's just unavoidable. So that's out of the question. I need something else...
Thanks for reading, and I'm sorry it took so long.
