My friend texted my crush, "my friend likes you"? He said, "Who is it?" My friend said, "Well, I can't tell you, but she's a freshman". And he guessed that it was some girl THAT WASN'T ME.We aren't on a speaking level, I just thought he might've liked me (because I'm an idiot). The girl is an Asian like me, and I live in a predominantly Caucasian town so I'm worried that he got the feeling that I like him, and mixed me up with that other Asian girl in a case of the “all-asians-look-alike” syndrome. She’s not even a freshman and we look nothing alike! So if this is the case, I’m very offended. But another friend said that he might’ve guessed her on purpose so that my friend could be like, “no it’s not her, but she IS asian.” So he would know for sures that its me becausehereallydoeslikeme… there’s only two Asian freshmen and I’m the only one that’s friends with my friend. If you read all of this, thankyousomuch!! I know it’s long. Should I keep on liking him? I’m going insane!

Dear anonymous,

You’re in luck because I happen to have an Asian guest blogger on hand to answer all Asian-related questions. He’s Japanese and he also grew up in a smaller town so I think he’s pretty qualified.

After reading your story he said, “There’s no way that this guy is mixing her up with the other Asian girl in town, especially if they look completely different. The “all-Asians-look-alike” thing mostly happens when you’re living in a bigger city that has a ton of Asians.”

At this point he also started doing a lot of sassy, “Oh no he didn’t” finger wagging:

I’m not completely sure why. Then he suggested you could plan an elaborate trick where you pretend to be the other Asian girl in a note and then try to sneakily find out which one of you he actually likes. I’m pretty sure he was joking.

So what should you do? We’re not exactly sure. Maybe try saying “hi” the next time you see him? See how he responds. Then maybe try starting a conversation with him. MAYBE.

Oh, and if you’d like more advice like the kind you got here, my friend says to check out his upcoming website: BetterAskAnAsian.com (also joking? MAYBE)
