I know it's a standard question, but I just started thinking about it recently and it makes me curious what other people think about it :D

For example: There is this guy I am kinda crushing on. Two or three years ago I found out about him, he went to the same school, but we didn't knew each other because there were two schools in our small town.

In my last year of highschool a classmate told me about him, because we have the same origin. That's nothing special is it? Well, for my schoolmates it was, because I was the only girl in school 1 with that origin and he was the only one in his school. So, I guess she thought it was something special idk. After my last highschool year I started driving to my new school by train and someday I overslept and saw him. I actually never ever saw him before, but I knew that I have seen him somewhere else (you know what I mean?). A few days later my best friend came over to my place and we were scrolling through Facebook and there is this option where you can see people you probably know and I saw him there. Naturally I sended a friends request and he accepted it. I still remember my laugh when I saw that :'D

A year later I saw him again, because I overslept again lol. I wasn't really amazed by him I just thought: "Hey, we are friends on Facebook!". A month later I saw him hanging out with a girl in the city and I remember feeling nothing at all, just knowing that I'm friends with him on Facebook lol.

Finally this year!

A week before the winter holidays I overslept again and I saw him at the train station and idk why, but since that day I started to drive with that train everyday to see him and I think he noticed me. After a month (I think), I finally got the courage to text him. Idk why I did it, I saw him adding a girl from my school on facebook and it felt really weird, so I decided to text him. We actually exchanged a lot of information about us and the following day we even talked with each other (it was very awkward). Since that day we alway greet each other, but nothing really happens after that, because either a friend of his is waiting for him or a friend waits for me. Last week we talked a bit, because we met by coincidence at the train station. It was a nice small talk, but nothing more. We aren't texting, my guess is because we see each other almost everyday, but I'm a little upset by it.

I never thought I would have the courage to text him in the first place, I was really proud of myself and I still am.

I hope I didn't bother anyone with this story, but it was a perfect example for me. I also reconnected with old friends I never thougt I would see again and I'm doing really good in school this year compared to last year. It's just really fascinating for me how those things changed so much and how good they affected my life.

Thanks for reading my rant :D
