If you were to discuss your feelings with a guy that you can't see in person because he moved away, then what is the best way to talk to him? I might get too nervous over the phone, then again I can hear his tone of voice but what if he gets distracted? I'd feel better emailing him because I can get everything out, and he can always go back to the email to read it, but I'm not sure if an email would be cheesy, by a guy's standard?

What's the best solution?

I've only ever had bad experiences with email. Without a doubt the best way to talk to someone is in person. If that's not possible then phone is the next best bet.

I'm male and if I received an email from a girl like that, I would completely understand that she was nervous about the way I would react and wouldn't be upset at all. If I was interested in her, I would be glad she said something at all and if I wasn't, it would be easier for me to say no. Then again you don't get a candid response and he could lie back to you. I suppose it depends upon the person you're dealing with.

I would not have a problem with email.

Atleast the guy can re-read it and give a good response without perhaps feeling nervous himself.

ALSO... instant messaging is a good idea.

I like to see things written down a lot because then I can go back and re-read it. Plus, I have a bad memory lol.

Well I want to call him tonight to say hi & to see how he's doing, & to let him know I'm thinking about him. I'm still kinda nervous about starting out the other conversation, but I'll just go with the flow. If he doesn't answer, I'll just leave a message saying hi, nothing more. I'd feel more comfortable telling him my feelings in an email, soo like I said if he doesn't answer tonight then I still want to email him soon about this. But I don't want to be pretentious, anxious or smother him. With that said, when is the best time to email him after I call him tonight? Or if I do talk to him, but neglect to tell him what I've been feeling, when should I email him? Sounds stupid lol but I'm just wondering because like I said, I don't want to sound needy or something.
