Well, at first I decided to take things slow. That was...what?...two weeks ago? Result: I like him as a friend. Seriously, I am a little disappointed in myself. Shoot--he's the first guy who's sincerly confronted me to ask me out for crying out loud! To my reasoning though, if I can't see him as anything more than a friend what's the use of pretending otherwise?
I told him yesterday how I felt. That was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, especially since I know how it feels to be rejected. (Ugh...NOT fun...) He didn't talk to me for the rest of the day, but thanked me for being honest. Today, however, he decided to confront me about it. And no, he wasn't angry; but he sure did make me feel horrible about myself (and made me miss lunch, dangit! >_< ). In the end though I think we'll still be friends. I just hope he doesn't try bringing this up in the future...especially if I do come across someone that I would absolutely fall for.
