Dear boy, you really do have the hots for Esther. Somehow, I don't think that the feeling is reciprocated. Try to put this behind you and have another go at Jez, but this time try not to be so full on. You can show someone love and concern without coming right out and saying,"Hi. I'm Paul and I love you." See how it sounds? Talk to her about normal everyday things. Ask her about her life, views, loves, motivation.... so much more. God be with you.
