When you still keep your admiration towards him as a secret, you don’t have any doubts on looking at him, smiling at him, or greeting him—of course because he doesn’t know you like him not only as a friend but more than that. But now he already knows you like him, and even though it’s okay with him, why it’s hard to face him?
Number 1: Because you’re afraid he might think you’re a flirt. Yes—a flirt. Though that’s a very inappropriate thing to think, we can’t deny the fact that it sometimes crosses your mind.
Number 2: Because you’re afraid people will tease both of you. Of course it’s quite embarrassing and all, mostly on your part, since you’re the one who likes the other one.
Number 3: Because you’re afraid he might just ignore you. Okay, this one is like the least possible to happen but hey, who knows?
Number 4: Because you’re afraid he might just break your heart (again) secretly. Say, maybe he’s with his so-called “girlfriends” and yeah, jealousy.
Number 5: Last and not the least, because you’re afraid he’ll just play with you. I know that hurts but still possible.
Overall: Because you’re afraid and yes, I am afraid. Thank you.
