i have a crush on a guy who says he's not my type. should i give it up as a lost cause?

Question

i moved to egypt a while back and i havent found anyone i really like until recently. i started chatting with this guy online (uni forum) and i got along with him quite well plus i found him very attractive. i've been thinking about him more and more and now i cant stop. i wasnt sure if he liked me or not and i was actually thinking about asking him flat out, which isnt something i usually do, b/c i have very low self-confidence. Luckily before i did said anything, we recently talked and it somehow came out that he said i wasnt his type, appearance-wise. i'm also very self-conscious so that really crushed me. now idk what to do. should i keep talking to him, go for a platonic relationship, or should i just forget it? or should i keep trying, in the hopes that he'll eventually like me too? i'm really confused and i dont have anyone to talk to. i'm a mess right now, and i dont want to get hurt anymore

Answer 1

You should ask this guy out if you really like him. The worst the guy could tell you is no. Then all you have to do is get on with your life. There is someone else out there and it might be him and it might not.
