So, he kind of likes me...

I'm an optimist, which I've found is a rarity for a girl in her late teens but hey, I always try to look and the bright side of life. I've never had a proper boyfriend, which hasn't bothered me because I believe in the 'it'll happen when it happens' mantra however I always assumed if there was a guy who liked me, like... really liked me, I would like him back. Oh how wrong I was! Maybe I should start at the beginning...

I've known the boy for two years now, we get along, always have. He's very over the top though, so I can usually only take him in small, measured doses. He's always shown an interest, I suppose but I thought it was just friendly in all honesty, until this happened...

(After me being a bit clumsy...)

The boy, "you're an idiot you know"

Me, "I know..."

The boy, "you're a beautiful idiot though"

(sweet... it really was)

Since then he's just kept on with his flirting which sometimes just makes me feel REALLY uncomfortable and I never know what to say back and he may have said he kind of loves me. He's sweet enough but I don't think I could date him; I don't know what to do! Hurting his feelings isn't an option in my mind but what else can be done? It was never supposed to happen like this... it was supposed to be like one of those cheesy Taylor Swift songs that I love so much... I'm too much of a romantic, that's my problem. 

Urg! Sorry for the teenage angst! (well not exactly angst but you know...)  Lol but I didn't know what else to write about tonight, it's been a particularly uninspiring day...

What do you all think I should do about my little problem? Please comment even if you don't answer the question! :)

All my Love, A Cat named Cat x
