Question Posted Thursday November 18 2004, 7:42 pm
There's this guy that I'ved like for about a year or so now and he's told me that he's liked me to. We've hung out outside of school a lot and everything went great. I really love who I am when I'm with him. He's such an amazing person and I love spending time with him. The only problem is that lately he's been distancing himself from me because he's afraid to get hurt. When he told me that I seemed to distance myself from him so I didn't fall even harder just incase it didn't work out. I still have really strong feelings for him and we talk all the time, I'm just not sure on what I should do. I've told him how I feel. I think I really love him. Should I lay it all out on the table and tell him everything I think about him and the way he makes me feel or should I just give him his space until he figures out what he's feeling?

Dont be afraid of opening up he seems like areally sweet guy,tell him the truth,and most important,tell him not to be scared,that u love him,and that u wouldnt want to hurt him.Give him confidence and after u open up give him time.

tell him you do care about him, and it's not your intention to hurt him.
Also, point out to him that there is a chance here that you might get hurt, too. Thats what a relationship is. It's a risk. f he's not willing to risk getting hurt for what might be absolutely wonderful, is he willing to spend the rest of his life alone... just because he's afraid of a little pain?
Its gonna happen. Everybody gets hurt. Whats important is what happens between the times you are hurt. [ mercedes's advice column | Ask mercedes A Question ]

ShudaBeenAbLonde answered Friday November 19 2004, 3:48 pm: I think you could do both. Tell him exactly how you feel .. and if you have that strong of feelings for him, you'd wait for him until he figures out his feelings for you as well. Waiting might be hard. If he takes too long then maybe being friends is just something that has to happen there. But just flat out tell him everything you feel and have him figure out what he's feeling as well.. Good luck
