"do you like me?", why you can't just say that Options

[expoised]

everytime i'm stressing out over whether a guy likes me or not, guys always tell me to just go ask him "do you like me?"
and when i'm like "NO!"
they're like "what's the worse that can happen?"
and i'm like "HE'LL SAY NO!!!"

and to tell you the truth, i'd rather spend the rest of the week or month infatuated with this certain guy and playing out whether he likes me or not in my head, rather than hear from him flat out "no". even though he might say yes... if there's a chance that he'd say "no", i wouldn't take it.

and anyways... that's not the worse that can happen!! if he says "no", i'd be embarrassed to death that i asked and i'd probably turn all red and try to brush it off, and in doing so, make myself seem like a complete idiot. it'll probably make me lose all self confidence.

so yeah... why you (or anyone who can relate) CAN'T just go up to a guy and ask him whether he likes you or not.

I can relate.. or well used to lol. I used to be shy and I would never flat out tell a guy.. I would either do it in a letter (after liking them for a few months) or not even tell them at all ahah. People tell me to tell the guy.. I also fear rejection. I guess I'm not willing to accept that they most likely DON'T like me. Usually the guys that I liked in the past never really shared the same feelings as I did. But that was then...
