when i was in school i had no idea anyone fancied me. i was so involved with my friends and my interests i didn't pay attention to anyone who might have liked me. at the same time i assumed no boy at my school like me enough to want to be my boyfriend or ask me out. this was ok. i liked boys, plenty of them, yet not enough to want to go out with them. i went on dates here and there and had lots of passing crushes, had male friends and flirted with boys i liked. i was in the arty crowd. i sang and danced and painted murals on the school walls.
after i left school is when i found out i had admirers. people started to tell me things i hadn't realised. this boy or that boy had a crush on me back then. one time i was on a train years after i'd left school and this boy comes up to me saying my name asking me if went to such n such school. yes. he tells me he was in such n such class. do i remember him? turns out he knew me from grade primary school! he remembered me all those years later. i did remember him. i had liked him back then. turns out he had liked me too. we phoned each other a couple of times after that and met up once. nothing came of it.
you're probably going through school thinking no-one likes you or gives a shit. chances are some one does.
