A week or two ago, I found out that one of my closest friends has a crush on me. And they are aware and know full well that I am Aro, so they will never act on those feelings.

But I still hate it. I feel so uncomfortable knowing that. Sure, I guess it's flattering but I this had never happened to me before!

Or so I thought.

See, I was freaking out about this my best friend who told me this, and said those exact words. "This has never happened before, why do they like me??" He said that people actually have crushed on me before and I just wasn't aware.

When I asked him how many, he said 5.

Current.

And I? Don't know what to do? Nobody directly came up to me about it yet. And I know it's a silly thing to be freaked out over, and maybe I am overreacting.

"Damn my good looks, and if only I wasn't so charming!"

But I thought I had been able to toe the line between attractive for myself and attractive to others. And now I'm scared of what will happen if one of them asks me out. Terrified even.
