"Will he hurt me?"

Scared driving instructor doesn't return my crush

I'm in love with my driving instructor and have been since the first time our eyes met across an erect gear stick. He's tall, dark and extremely careful behind the wheel.

It has been three years since I passed my driving test but I have been too afraid to tell him in case he stops giving me lessons. I've turned down four other men because I'm holding out for this guy. I think he might be the love of my life.

I am almost certain that he's in love with me too; all the signs are there: he smiles when we speak, he befriended me on Facebook and asked me out on a date. However I am so afraid of rejection that I said no.

Do you think that was a mistake?
