Q: ok, well i really have liked this guy for 2 years, i think i love him. he knew, he hated me for it. lots of horrible stuff happened. now i'm going to a different school next year & i'm almost over him, which is good. i met a guy at this school who i really like [through the drama camp], & i really want him to know how i feel about him & how i can't stop thinking about him, but i don't want to tell him i like him, because he barely knows me. i don't want any of my friends to do it for me because i don't want to cause any tention between us. all the guys i've ever had feelings for have hated me in return & i don't want this to happen again. someone please give me some advice. i'll rate you for it if you want.
If you want a guy not to get creeped out and hate you when you tell him how you feel, I have advice for you!

Be friends with him first. If you don't know him that well, get to know him. Through IM, phone, dating, or just hanging out, however you want to. Then, when you think the time's right, tell him how you feel.

Or take the chicken's way out and ask him if he likes anyone.

ADDITION:

Ask for his screen name. Call him to check up on things for camp, keep it casual. I'm pretty shy too, so I know how hard it is to go up and start randomly talking to people. But sometimes, you have to. Just start talking to him about something. If he wears band t-shirts, just randomly call out that that band is awesome (If you know who they are.. and listen to them..) that's a good way to meet people, I think.

As for the whole sending out a message that you're kind of interested thing, well that's something you want to do. Subtly, but not outright "I like you!" Flirt sometimes, and talk to him! you can do it!

i've been trying to get his screename but i don't even know if he has one. i have his number cause i have this contact list thing for all the people that go there, but i never call people & i'm way too nervous. & that'd make it obvious how i felt. & it's also hard for me to make friends. also i'd never ask him if he liked anyone..cause that'd be an obvious "i'm interested." so yea. but thanks.

Love hurts. That's why I'm here to explain to you exactly what your significant other (or hopefully significant other) means, truthfully and unfortunately painfully.

In other words, I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, unless I really believe it could happen.

If you don't believe me, well, I can give you proof. My way of thinking worked for me and my wonderful boyfriend of three years (I love you Matt!)
