Ok so I've liked this guy for the past four years (he used to like me in middle school but I hated him back then because he bullied me). I spent all of high school staring at him and he's stare at me and I'd wonder if there was anything to it but he was Mr Popular and I was a geek (but becoming "cooler" over the years) so something like that wouldn't have worked out in the ninth grade.
This all changed when we graduated and I started going to parties. I showed up to a party where he was there. We were all really drunk and he talked to me and my friend for about half an hour after while waiting for a ride and offered to give us a ride but we declined because his friends were drunk.
The next day week our commencement and when I walked in, he looked at me and started walking towards me but I kind of freaked out and ran away.
Last month I went to another party and he was there too. I basically ignored him through the whole party because my friend who was moving away was there but he was still lingering around sometimes and just when we were leaving, he was going inside and he said hi to me and my friend.
So my question is, I've spent about five years hung up on this guy and I'm sick of it. Does it seem like he's interested at all or should I force myself to move on? It's just that everytime I get a chance with him, I panic and I like him -a lot- and I want some kind of closure to high school. I just don't want to still keep chasing him if he doesn't care.

not neccasarily ask, but just ask him if he'd like to go out for coffee or out for lunch. From reading what you wrote, it sounds like he likes you just as much back. Or that he atleast wants to be friends with you. If he made effort to try to talk to you one time, but you ran away, that sonds like he tries to care for you, and that you were on his mind. Dont give up, try and talk to him. You never know what could happen if you dont try.

If you don't ask you'll never know. & if he doesn't, oh well you can move on to the next best thing. But, if he does.. then sweet. To me it sounds like hes interested, if he walks up to you & everything. My friend she always like ignore her boyfriend, because she doesn't think he likes her. Which is stupid, because then why would he be dating her. But, yeah anyways.. so shes been basically pushing him away because she ignores him. So, just go up & talk to him =)
RissiepooH answered Sunday July 23 2006, 10:07 am: well first, the next time he approaches you dont run away. stop and chat a little with him. and sometimes when people are drunk they slip stuff out that they didnt want to be heard (trust me i know from experience) and if he is constantly drinking maybe hes not the best guy but still i dont know him. and if he is an alcoholic maybe if you talk to him more make him seem liek you are interested in him and he knows you dont like alcoholics (if you dont.. i dunno if you have a problem with it) he might change for you. i would just take it a little by little and just talk to him. im in the same situation that you are in now.
