A girl in my tiny 6-student highschool...a crush. I kind of had to let it out, and, like...somehow wanted to sneak this letter to her. The last thing I want is to be creepy, and no, I don't want a damn relationship, just for her to know what goes through my head and why.
Names have been altered.
Suzie Q—
It’s 11:21 PM as I type, and you may be a bit jostled at why I see fit to mess with my keyboard this late. Hey, whatever. I’m trying to pass time, maybe keep myself from snapping.
My dad said today that I should watch what I say to you; after all, you act alongside me in our school play as my character’s fiancée, and the whole thing, or at least those three or four scenes with both of us in them, would suffer a huge blow if you were, like, uncomfortable around me. I have a thing with making people uncomfortable anyway, probably from the lack of restraint I show in conversation (this isn’t to mention laughing way too hard at stupid things, but that’s another topic). He said this after I chatted with/to him about school…then the play…then, out of the topic of the play, I mentioned you.
I told him I couldn’t even look straight at you sometimes—that’s how pretty you are. I wouldn’t want this to turn into a sad attempt at courtship, so I’ll spare the details of why you’re so…beautiful, for absence of a better adjective. (“Beautiful” is pulcher/pulchra/pulchrum in Latin, by the way, in case you ever needed to know and didn’t already.) Then I told him I almost wanted to let you know how I saw you, just—because. I don’t know. It may be clearer to you now of why things have not always been so smooth between me and girls. I just can’t play the distant, unfazed, quiet person—I have to tell everyone everything or I just don’t feel right.
There it is, on paper. I’ve got a crush. Forgive me if it sounds like I’m blowing it out of proportion, though—it’s been a long time since I’ve felt genuine infatuation. Admittedly, I don’t really know you, and I don’t get you sometimes (looking at the caloric content of a box of Pop-Tarts was just too funny to me—sorry for the weird answer I gave when asked why you should gain weight, I was pretty much just teasing you) but you are, to me (and probably every other highschool student), a very interesting person, with your freaky sunglasses and…that odd dance you do sometimes. We’d be bored without you…I would.
Yes, I do think about you all the time. This I will freely admit. It’s mostly in the context of “What would Suzie Q think if she saw me doing this?” or “I hope I don’t go to school and she thinks I’m a pizzaface.” Sometimes, coincidentally just like the character I play, I do wonder what I’ll say to you the two days of the week we’re in the same zipcode. I mean, I get to talk to you exactly one-third less than I get to talk to Mac or Mrs. Potts, nice though they are. Your mom does have one long distance to drive in that monstrous van of hers, though, so it’s, like, good for the environment and stuff that you don’t come on Wednesday.
My guess is that, if you ever wanted some boy to write/type you a long-winded letter, you’d want it to be from one of the more suave-looking guys, like, the kind usually seen with his posse of equally cool people or something. I know a letter from the class dork is the last thing you’d want just after starting at this school, but I typed it anyway. Inconsiderate? I guess. If I were, like, asking anything from you I’d probably want to burn the letter afterward, and knowing that I’m just “letting it out”, hopefully without being a groveling doofus, makes it easier to know that you’re reading this, if you are.
If this is a waste of your free time, I apologize. You’re driving me up the wall without really having to do anything, and so I’m trying to make it easier for me to just fall asleep tonight, instead of fidgeting and thinking too hard. Don’t think of this letter as utterly destroying the relatively non-tense acquaintance we seem to have…I think of it as a classmate letting another classmate in on his mental state. I can’t help it, and you probably can’t help that I can’t help it. If you would, though, just understand that I still have no, should I say—“motives”, even though I did end up hugging you a bit tight during rehersal (what can I say—I draw from my own possible emotions while onstage, plus, I usually hug people that way). I still know that, in the end, you’re just another person, and nothing’s drastically changed in the world if you file a restraining order against me.
This is all just a rant, know that. I hope it doesn’t mess your day up too much.

P.S.: Fine, Berkeley probably isn’t so bad. But Atlanta isn’t either. :D And I sure as hell don’t mean Cobb County when I say that.

holy shit you actually gave that to her? the latin saves your ass.
I'd laugh if she just passed him a note back that says tl;dr.
But seriously, yes... that will probably creep her out.

Dude, how would YOU feel if you got a creepy stalker letter like that? If you care about what she feels towards you at all, DON'T PUT YOUR NAME ON IT. Also, use computer instead of handwriting.

^...You know what, maybe I should have gotten a second opinion, 'cause I didn't really think it was quite as creepy or delusional as you all say. And, if it is, you know...I'd want to know why specifically. I can't just delete it or let it sit on my computer forever, even if she never sees it.
Hm. Wouldn't that make it creepier...? She'd know it was me anyway.

You say you want to get this over with but you do take your time to carefully investigate what others might think of your method as if you actually cared for the outcome of it all.
Let alone admit you wouldn't say no if she really did want to engage in a "deeper" relationship. You seem to be a quite contradictionary person yet you seem so sure you are acting the right way. Make up your mind god damn it. maybe this interesting person of yours might find your ways interesting too

^Well, shoot, I don't want her to avoid me <_< if that's what you mean by caring for the outcome. I just don't care if she doesn't "like" me back, because I don't expect it.

A long-winded letter just isn't a great way to start out, unless you already know she likes weird people like you. It's usually better to be more casual. Ask her to go have sex with you some night, just for fun.
Man oh man, you 4chan people *are* right. I'm sorry I was so creepy...guess creepy letters don't all the time get some.
I rewrote it <_<
Suzie Q—
Last night I typed up an extremely long-winded explanation of myself, or rather, of why I think I’ve got a crush on you. Whoops. Should’ve eased into that. Oh well. :D But I just now realized how few words I needed.
Here’s the gist of it: you’re really, really pretty, to the point where I can barely even look at you without the beauty being way too intense and concentrated for my eyes. I’m not lying to sound better, it’s the truth. Also, you’re really…unusual, in the coolest of ways, and fun to talk to, and you’re nice to me—more than I could hope for from less patient people. And that was only 69 words there.
I went on in my original letter to say that I don’t want to, like, be anyone’s boytoy or whatever the word is now. No. This is no public highschool where people can do that. I just feel how I do about you and haven’t been able to suppress it. For all I know, though, it could be, like, “work” related stress that’s warping you into this all-around beautiful person in my mind. I don’t like to think such things.
So two things I ask of you: don’t get creeped out. Or at least try not to. Please? I’m seriously just letting this out the only way I know how. Also, if you wouldn’t mind—please don’t do anything totally mean, like, show this to your parents. DX

You're hot but i'm too lazy to pursue a relationship with you. Just needed to get it off my chest.

the fact that you're telling her that you like her but that you don't want a relationship is kind of creepy. what is she going to think that means?
does it mean you aren't actually going to do anything with her, just stalk her? what if she decides to get into a relationship with another guy?
if you don't want to have a relationship with her, don't tell her that you like her. there is no way you can make it not be creepy.
(even if you do want to have a relationship with her, coming straight out and confessing that you have a crush on her isn't the best way either, but that's another story.)

"if you don't want to have a relationship with her, don't tell her that you like her. there is no way you can make it not be creepy."
I must agree. You're just putting yourself on the her creeps radar by doing that.

^I really can't have a relationship, though. More than likely we'd get in trouble at our conservative Catholic school for actually "dating", and for all I know, her mother would murder me.

Not neccesarily. I was in a hidden relationship for 2 years until I was old enough to legally date my b/f, and it was really hard on us. We couldn't do anything, unless it was in the next county.
