emerald86 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I've known this guy for almost 10 years. We went to the same middle school, and were family friends. Back then I was shy, socially awkward, and didn't have very many friends. He was attractive and popular, and basically every girl I knew I was into him. I did have a crush on him myself, but he never had any idea, and I tried not to think about it. I was very certain that I'd never have a chance with him. One day, at a family gathering, the two of us ended up in the same room and he was very friendly toward me. He rambled on, telling me a whole bunch of stories and all I did was nod and smile because I was too shy to even speak lol. This happened basically every time I was around him. Of course, that was ten years ago. I haven't seen the guy in almost 5 years, so he hasn't crossed my mind--that is, until a few months ago when a friend mentioned him to me. She told me, "I think he might be interested in you." I had no idea why she was saying that, so I didn't think much of it. I don't even think it's true either, because all he knows is what I used to be like 5 years ago--and I wasn't very attractive back then lol. All of a sudden now I'm thinking about what my friend told me. I've known this guy for 10 years and I've never built up the courage to really have a conversation with him--I feel like I should do it at some point, right? I do want to get to know him better, but I don't know how. I never see him in person. The only other option I can think of is facebook--we are facebook friends, but I find that it would pretty weird if I were to message him out of nowhere, especially after years of not seeing each other. I just wish I'd run into him at some public place--that would make this a lot easier! But of course I have no control over that. Do I have any other option? Edited December 3, 2015 by emerald86
casey.lives Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 you're facebook friends... send a game invite or go through his family
carhill Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 IMO, he was a popular guy and that usually equals experience, which he demonstrated at your last personal meeting with apparently engaging and enthralling conversation. If you're FB friends, well, he can easily look you up because, well, popular guys do that when they want something or someone. It's easy. Again, remember that last conversation. I'd leave this aside and consider its shelf life of ten years to be past the use-by date. Entertain the offers of other men. I'm sure there are some if you're out in the world occasionally.

Seems to me like you might be right. As much as I'd like to talk to him now, I just don't see how it would be possible. Guess I messed it up by being too awkward!
