Clueless

'''During Freshman year, Jack and Rachel were really good friends with each other. They’d hang out and talk all the time. Jack thought of her as a sister he could always count on. Rachel, on the other hand, thought of him in a very different way. I’m guessing you guys could figure it out already, but Jack sure as hell couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong here, Jack was (and still is) a very nice guy. He was also a very clueless guy. Rachel would often be sending him signals that she had a crush on him but he’d often just brush them off or straight up avoid them. Rachel was sending so many signals to him, however, he just couldn’t take the hint. After so many attempts to send hints, Rachel eventually became fed up and she ended up heartbroken and avoiding him. Being the clueless innocent boy he was, Jack had no idea what to do. He was too nervous to talk to her about their current situation and Jack didn’t know how to handle the whole thing. A week later, he gained the courage to talk to her and ask her what was wrong. She spilled the beans about her true feelings and he understood all those signals. They ended up becoming friends again and even though she’s not his girlfriend, he still loves and cares for her very much and they have a wholesome friendship'''

Importance of the Story: '''When your friend has a crush on you, it can change the whole dynamic completely. On one hand, you just can’t see yourself as their significant other and on the other, you don’t want to hurt them. It’s a dilemma everyone can relate to. Luckily in this story, Jack was a very understanding guy and even though it took him a long time to realise how much she cared about him, he reached out to her and let her talk about it. '''
