Armenian Crush?

Question

Back in high school I used to sit next to this Armenian guy. For some reason I was always drawn towards him. He was adorable, not physically but in a pathetic sense. No one really spoke to him much or truly liked him. The only reason why he belonged to a group was simply because he was Armenian. My school was quite ethnically segregated (solely between Hispanics and Armenians), by their own accord. The Armenians were an extremely close-knit group. I can't apply the same closeness to Hispanics, they would tend to mix in with blacks, Filipinos, and others. Things were more open with them. Anyway, the Armenian I liked really stuck out badly in his group. He wasn't cool enough. He just didn't have the goods like the; leather jacket, ghetto chains, designer shoes, slick oily hair, a girlfriend...etc. I used to stand in the distance and watch his "friend's" reactions. It was sad. In English class, each day for me was a pleasure to see him. I loved how his eyebrows would naturally droop down, like a permanent expression of sadness. I loved his clumsiness (his pencil would fall all the time). I loved his bad posture. I loved the fact that he tried hard in class even though he wasn't so bright. And I'd love how he would always sigh. My best friend dubbed him "the sigh guy." (laughs) One day I decided to give him a friendly letter...kind of hinting a "I have a crush on you" thing. The next day in class he returned it. Eversince then he acted weird around me.
Now that high school is over, I sometimes wonder why didn't he say or do anything. Did I freak him out?
Was it because I'm not Armenian? (Persian all the way)

Answer 1

hmmm, I honestly dont know why he acted the way he did - I have not read the letter, so I dont know what you wrote, I am not sure that the reason is that you are Persian, altho we dont know him or his background, maybe his family and him are not ok with it, or it could just be the fact that because he is so not the guy that gets attention he thought that you are making fun or you are just playing with him, and you dont mean what wrote in the letter! his self confidence seem to be very LOW, and once that someone IS actully attracted to him , he just never took it as a real thing and he took is a negative joke :( thats sad! but its not your fault at all ! you took the chance to tell him how you felt and you were pure and didnt mean to hurt or make fun of him! so dont worry, it was his loss of not getting to know a nice girl :)

Answer 2

Hi,

I think it's really cool that you found yourself attracted to this guy. It's seems like the guy had characteristics that you admired, even though he wasn't the social butterfly. I think he might have been kinda uncomfortable with the situation of a girl going up to him. Cause usually it's the other way around. And it seems like he didn't really have much experience with the ladies, so that might have done it too. Plus being Persian is too much different then being Armenian. Similar cultures. Give my Armo brother another chance.

Answer 3

No, that was really nice of you. Maybe he took it the wrong way - or thought you were just messing around with him. It could be because you weren't Armenian, but probably not. He's probably shy around any girl.

Answer 4
