This is what i wnat you to do next time hes alone you walk up to him and just be confident throw cares away and stop worrying what people will think. Say you still love him and that your tired of being afraid and would really like to see him that weekend. BE CONFIDNET THERE IS OSMETHING HE SEES IN YOU AND LOVES NOW SEE IT FOR YOURSELF AND LOVE YOUR SELF. As long as your you thats all taht matters, There is no real you You are always you just sometime you finally get the gut to be confident and dsay whats on your mind. stop refering to your self as you and the real you. You are you and never were anyone else. [ Dumbblond1chick's advice column | Ask Dumbblond1chick A Question ]
