I have a huge problem. The guy I have been seriously crushing on for the past year is moving away! His name is Will and he is like the sweetest guy ever. He's never had a girlfriend because he's a little bit prude, but he is amazingly smart and athletic. If i told him that I like him I can't even imagine his response. I think he would just turn bright red and walk away or something. But he's been dropping these subtle little hints that he might have feelings for me ever since he told me he's moving away. I know he wouldn't admit to anyone that he liked me...unless maybe he found out that i like him back. Except I don't know for sure if he likes me and I don't want to make a fool out of myself in front of him, but I don't want to regret not telling him later. Please help me!!
livingLIKEloversxx answered Saturday March 18 2006, 11:09 am: wow. i was in your exact same situation last year. & every day, i regret not telling him something. i wonder what wouldve happened if i had told him. i end up just feeling over all terrible because i didnt do anything when he was moving half way around the world. you need closure. if you like him as much as you say, you have to tell him. dont have anyone do it for you, you have to do it for yourself. so this boy is moving away, & chances are, you wont get to see him again. so what could it hurt to tell him something? the best thing that could happen is he says he feels the exact same way back. but no matter what, you cant stop him from leaving. and its going to hurt, even if you do tell him. because in all reality, he'll find someone else wherever he goes, and you'll find someone else, too. but thats the future, right now, you have to tell this boy how much you care. lifes too short to wake up one morning regretting something you didnt do. and you will regret this. because letting someone slip away is like falling off splash mountain at disney world. it hurts, & youll never be the same again once that pain goes away. tell him. maybe he'll say he cares just as much as you do.

You might think it is pointless to tell him because he might be moving, but you've got nothing to lose. For one thing, guys rarely disrespect or think lowly of a girl if they tell them they like him. Really...how many girls just go straight out and say that to begin with? It's not weird. In fact, if girls did that more often, then guys would too - they are just as scared of being rejected, and don't realize that all it would take is to say something.
So let him know and ask him if he likes you back. Make sure that if he is moving you find someway to stay in touch: phone, e-mail, myspace, screen name, etc. You can still be good friends if you keep in touch. If he is as nice as you say he is, then why would he think your weird in the first place. So I say go for it, and make sure you do it yourself. Hope that helped and good luck.
