I have a problem with a boy. I really like this guy and I don't know what to do.

A few months ago I put a letter in his locker that said someone liked him. I gave him a few clues about me but I don't think he ever saw that letter. Then a month later I asked my friend (let's call her Strawberry) to give him a letter telling him that a friend of Strawberry's likes him. I asked her to put my locker number on the note so he could write something back. But he never replied.

And the thing is that I've been crushing on this guy for about 1 1/2 years.

His friend found out that I liked him because he saw me opening my locker.

My problem though is that I don't think he cares that I like him. He likes a girl who is in a relationship with another guy. I just really want him to like me and I don't know what to do because he really, really and I mean really likes that other girl. But I wouldn't blame him because she is really talented and pretty. I also am talented and pretty but I need to work a little bit harder to reach her level.

How do I make him like me?

Okay, I'm just going to be honest here. I personally don't think he likes you. I'm sorry if I'm being too blunt, but you said it yourself. He clearly likes that other girl he can't have, which is a classic thing to happen, may I add. You can't have him, he can't have her. Ironic, isn't it?

On the other hand, you said you placed a letter into his locker but you don't think he ever saw that. That's pretty much impossible unless someone broke into his locker and stole it before he could ever see it. Or he simply decided to ignore it. Which I honestly think might be the case here.

Okay, moving on to the second letter your friend gave to him. I think he never replied because he didn't know how to reply. He was most likely once again ignoring the letter so he could avoid an unwanted conversation with your friend.

Plus, if his friend saw your locker number and realized that you were the one that sent those letters, then he must've told your crush about it. And your crush should've said something right? If he was truly, honestly interested in you, he would've at least done something himself. Especially since you're already in love with him, honestly the only thing he needed to do was walk up to you. I mean he literally got the easiest job and he didn't do anything about it.

And that's not good. I'm just not sure he's worth pursuing.

I'm not sure what to say here. Rock might be right about this, but I still think there are some things you can try in order to make him like you.

For instance, you can try to be more, I don't know, flirtatious, if you will. Spend more time with him and use your body language to "make your point". Let him know you like him without actually telling him that.

If you're not comfortable doing these things, then you can also try "getting under his skin".

By spending more time with him, a stronger connection will form between you two and he will automatically feel like he needs you. Like he wants you. And therefore, he might even start developing some feelings for you without even fully realizing it.

I know it sounds confusing, but I've tried this before and trust me, it works. It's a thing that occurs when you have a strong emotional connection with someone.

Of course, I'm not sure it works in all the cases, but I think it's definitely worth a try.
