I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.

I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

ok soo i use to practically be obsessessed w/ this 1 guy>ryan. he knew that i liked him, i mean it was completely obvious. i never knew quite what he thought of me so i got some guts and asked him to hang out and we hung out once over the summer, nothing happend and then i just moved on completely. so that was over the span of last school yr. so ive gone out w/ a few other guys since and like last month he asked for my # and has been asking me to hang out. i just havnt been able to for awhile, and at first straight up didn't want to but now i guess i just wanna see what happens. i called him last week and we talked for a little while and ryan again asked me to hang out. i was busy tho-again...what can you do? ha
so we dont really talk a whole lot in school b/c we dont have classes together but today at practice ryan and his friends kept lookin back at me as they were going by. i smirked b/c i dont know, i just thot it was kinda funny how obvious they were being.
but do you think he actually likes me? just wanna be sure...and also, i dont really like him that much now so i kinda feel a little bit embarrassed b/c i use to be obsessesd and he knows so idk, its like he always has that on me...not sure if you get that. but at the same time im just like, "why not go for it?"
i dont know, do you think he likes me? and do you think i should give it a try? whats your take on the matter? (link)
The main question I would be asking you is: how do YOU feel about HIM? That seems to be the most important thing.

I wouldn't be too embarassed that he knows you used to be obsessed, as that clearly doesn't seem to be putting him off. He wouldn't have asked you to hang out if he was freaked out.

I don't know how he feels about you, but there have to be SOME sort of feelings - at least friendship - to be calling you, asking you to hang out, and looking at you.

Therefore, it comes back to how YOU feel. If you don't like him in that way, then why bother? If you aren't sure how you feel, there's no harm in making some time to hang out with him and find out. And if you definitely like him, then go for it!

Part of me wonders if you're really that into him - after all, if you really really liked him, would you have made time to see him even when you were busy?

Basically, since it's the very beginning of things, your views are the most important. If the chemistry's not there, better to stop things now.

I wish you the best.
