Should I Give Up?

Okay so yah i have a huge crush on him. But I don't know if I should just give up on him, because if I don't I am just going to end up seriously hurting myself when the reality of things starts to crash in on me. But if i do give up, then that makes me like a quitter and I just, idk

On the other hand im sure that nothing will ever happen between us. I'm, just scared you know. I don't want to be taken for a fool, or for some desperate guy, but at the same time i really don't want 2 let him go . I just really really do like him, but like my mom said. If I really do like him then i should let him go. I don't think i can do that though.

I really do not know what to do.. what do you think i should do?

So anyways the dance is tonight, and if he does go to the dance, i really really REALLY do hope that I could dance, at least one song with him.
