15/F--I like this guy, and its the first time I've liked a guy mostly based on his personality and having looks coming second. I'm not a shallow person but when I usally like guys I'm attracted to them physically. But he is a great guy and he has told me before that I was pretty, and that I was a great person all around. I decided to finally do something about wanting to be more than friends, and a friend of mine is going to talk to him tomorrow. I'm happy that he will find out, but also kinda scared because I feel that there might be no chance. When he compliements me, he says it when I feel down about my looks and everything so I feel that its just his way of trying to make me happy. So when he asks me about me liking him, online (we go to different schools) I am going to be at a loss for words. I want to say everything is true, but on the other hand I want to run and hide. I am just so insecure about myself and what he will think of me, its making me crazy. I'm not really asking for specific advice, just comments and words of enncouragment. What should I tell him when he asks me about it? Thanks and I'll rate you a 5 no matter what!

Don't worry about it, just jump ahead and take a chance, it'll probably work out in your favor. [ MeadowLark's advice column | Ask MeadowLark A Question ]

dancinqueen08 answered Tuesday March 1 2005, 11:42 pm: Just be upfront with him. If you are going to have someone talk to him about it, then go through with it all the way. Tell him your feelings and put it all out in the open. He seems like he's a pretty cool kid and I don't see anything TERRIBLE coming from you telling him the truth. You're going to have to tell him the truth eventually, and if you run and hide he'll start to question your friend's honesty. Once again, just dive in with the whole situation. You started it, so you might as well finish it. [ dancinqueen08's advice column | Ask dancinqueen08 A Question ]
apk979 answered Tuesday March 1 2005, 11:27 pm: Just show him what you just typed. It won't be easy but it's 4 the best.If you're into him for more than looks,then he's probably different then other guys.If he tries 2 make you smile when your down it's because he sees your pain and it hurts him 2 see you like that. From the sounds of it he wants you just as much as you want him. Done be in doubt. Doubt is 1 of the worst ways 2 start a relationship. Hope is all you have for now so hang onto it and don't let go. Sure there might be set backs but if you really love him, you'll hang on 4 wat all it's worth and enjoy every bit of it. Hope I helped out [ apk979's advice column | Ask apk979 A Question ]
