The thing is, she's the only person I've ever legitimately liked, so that's why it's stuck to me like this.
Do you actually know her, or you say you like her only because of the way she looks ?
Move on, I really doubt your school has only 1 girl that you find attractive and a girl that say's something like that to you is probably a self-centered b*tch and you want to avoid that...
Something that I have learned the hard way last year about beautiful girls is that is to never put them on a pedestal, 2 of the most beautiful girls I have ever known turn out to be an ex striper/escort with multiple stories of diseases/lovers and another is a suicidal prone with a really depressing life, but I really had no clue, she hid it very well (I tried to help that one, but shes to caught up in her cage)
Actually since then, my confidence went up toward women, because people are not always what they try to project
