I started liking a guy when I heard him play piano, and I hardly ever see him.......HELP!?

  • So, I like this guy, and the only reason I know him is through piano. We have the same teacher- when I was in 5th grade, he would take lessons after me, so I knew who he was. He was in 6th grade. At that time, I didn't really think much of him. But, a few fridays ago, I had a piano recital and he went on before me. This was an advanced recital, and my first one. I was super nervous for a ton of reasons. Well, he went before me, and he play Debussy's Prelude to Suite Bergamasque. It was the best interpretation of this piece I have ever heard. I have heard him play before, but this time, he was so graceful, expressive, flowing, and relaxed....it immediately calmed me down. I got lost in another world. Before all of that, we were in the green room with the other performers, and there was a trumpet player who was really good sitting next to the guy I like. I kept looking at the trumpter player, and every time, the guy I like would look at me, with just a blank, bored face. Anyways, when he was done playing, he looked at me and bowed and smiled. Well, anyways, when I got home and was taking a shower, I kept thinking aabout how good he was, and how the piece fit him so well. So I fell for him when I heard him play- I had never heard anyone play so well. We go to completely different schools. I have never talked to him at all. He is a year older than me, but that doesn't really make a difference. Usually, our teacher likes having him and I play at the same recital ( since we are her 2 favorite students or something), so I have been pushing myself harder and harder to get better, and learn my pieces so I can see him sooner ( he is a fast learner!). So, this whole thing of hardly ever seeing him is killing me......should I tell him how I feel the next time I see him? Btw I have never had a boyfriend. Or, at my next recital I could have my friend talk him into asking me out at the end of the recital, and telling him how I feel. I heaven't been able to stop thinking about him ever since I heard him play.... What should I do?

  • Answer:

    Don't tell him you have feelings for him, or he might get scared off. Tell him that you love his playing, which will please him more than you can imagine because he loves to play the piano, and when someone gets a compliment for something they love and are good that, it is a good feeling. Tell him that you really enjoy listening to him. After you start talking to him, see if you can play piano together with him sometime. You said yourself he smiled at you, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind hanging out with you. But you need to show him in an appropriate way you like him before you jump to playing the piano with him. Playing piano with him will be fun and enjoyable since you both love piano and play it, and it will allow you to get closer to him. Good luck, and best wishes. @Petr b- Who they are and what they are have completely nothing to do with the question. If someone has something in COMMON with someone else, you are loving them for who they are and what they do, not just what they are.

There is a reason women and men toss their hotel keys to performers on stage: they have fallen in love with what the performer performed and how they performed it, NOT WITH WHO THE PERFORMER IS. So you fell for The Playing Of Debussy, NOT THE GUY WHO PLAYED IT. And this does belong in singles and dating. I've answered here because the crux of this one is about a mistake I'd prefer no one ever make: Here, from someone who has performed and understood why audience members, strangers really, were coming on to me like mad post-performance: Those who were coming on to me like crazy after a performance had No idea what I was really like - and if you think about it, that is not a Nice reason to be liked, it has nothing to do with you. That is all about what you do -- not you. Do not think that your attraction to the performance is an attraction to the performer. They are two separate things. Most people want to be found attractive for who they are, not what they are. Best regards.

Just to repeat what Petr b stated. I read that Beethoven would get angry because people would want to just hear him play and not care about getting to know him. Forget the piece this guy played and get to know him. You never know...maybe he likes to mistreat girls....would you still like him?
