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.

falliingxagain answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 11:53 pm: If you really feel so strongly about this boy then I think you need to tell him. If he's going to be upset with you over feelings that you cannot help - he was never worth those feelings in the first place. Maybe you could write him a letter to tell him, or on Instant Messenger tell him. But don't get your friends to do it, and make sure you're comfortable when you do it. Just because some guys were upset with you over your feelings does not mean that every guy will be. Life is all about chances, and in this situation it could turn out very, very good if you just take a chance. Good luck! [ falliingxagain's advice column | Ask falliingxagain A Question ]

dasweetness2603 answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 10:27 pm: Hey Sweety..Sup? Well hey look on the bright side @ least you've moved on from the guy you liked before/ that's a start. O.k I think that you should try flirting w. him and talking to him before you let him know that you like him. The best way to get to a guy is becoming friends w. him first. If you're already friends w. him than you should ask him if he wants to hang out sometime> if you have a pool invite him to go swimming/ something casual; that will get his attention is really hood. Hang out w. him a couple of times and than just let him know how you feel once you've spent quality time together. If he rejects you there'll be plenty of fish in the sea so don't worry just go fishing.lol. If he likes you back than there you go..have fun and be safe wink wink..Hope I helped Xo> Rate me`` [ dasweetness2603's advice column | Ask dasweetness2603 A Question ]
not_your_star34 answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 10:06 pm: I've been through a situation JUST LIKE that one. The reason the guy I liked hated me was because I seemed to like him too much, and we barely knew each other.
So, get to know him first. Try to become his friend. Strike up a conversation about something, like, "I like your band shirt... where'd you get it?" or something like that.
Also, if you get to know him and he's mean or something, you'll be glad you got to know him first!
And if you get to know him and you like him as a friend, you can still be his friend.
rikatree2375 answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 9:51 pm: You made a good point about this guy. You dont know him very well. Try talking to him a lot more and get to know him. Develop a really good friendship but dont let you liking him scare him off. Sometimes guys get intimidated if they know somebody likes them. Take things slow and eventually drop hints that u really like him. I'm sure if all that goes well that he wont hate you at all!!! And i doubt that guys hate you because they know you like them. It just scares them to tell ya the truth. But take things slow and dont worry!!! I'm sure it'll work out!!!
orphans answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 9:51 pm: omg i know someone just like that!!! (wink wink) if u keep it up you wont like the results... try to become friends first maybe? or dont come on TOO strong.
TheCynic answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 9:49 pm: 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! [ TheCynic's advice column | Ask TheCynic A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 9:47 pm: dont tell him you like him right away. it'll probably juss scare him off. talk to him, become friends, juss hang out and stuff and slowly go into detail on how you feel. who knows! maybe he feels the exact same way.

ADViCEx4xY0U answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 9:44 pm: I would try talking to him & getting to know him better. Eventually, you should hint around about who you like & ask him who he likes. Thats what I always do. He might even like you & maybe hes too shy to say it or he doesn't know how to say it. I hope everything works out!

HEYxBEAUTIFUL answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 9:44 pm: I think you should talk to him and tell him how you feel but make sure you tell him you don't want it to affect you and his friendship. If he hates you for that then thats his fault.
