Question Posted Thursday November 23 2006, 1:33 pm
Hi, well, I guess I'll start off with that I'm 16 years old and a junior in high school. There's this boy who told me about two months ago that he liked me. Two weeks later, he asked me out and I agreed. The relationship had only lasted a week because he sensed that I wasn't very open with him and almost scared to be in a relationship. Even after it ended, we both still had feelings for each other but just remained friends. Last month, during our homecoming dance, it was very obvious he wanted to get back with me and my friends have even told me that he was trying to kiss me. And since then, I haven't shown any hints that I wanted to get back with him because I am a very shy person when it comes to boys. Yesterday there had been a party we were both invited to. We talked, as usual, but towards the end of the party as he was about to leave, he got up from his seat next to me and hugged one other girl he had shown up with and told her, "I'll talk to you later, like online or something." Of course, this hurt me and got my mind working overtime. Am I overreacting? I know I can't stop him from liking other girls, but I don't want him to think that I don't mind getting back with him. I really want to know what his feelings for me are at this point, but I know because of my shyness there is no chance I'm able to ask him myself. But I've been kicking myself around to be more comfortable about him and I'm slowly making progess. Sooo.. my question is: What's the best why I can find out what his feelings are for me (considering I'm shy)? And how can I send subtle hints that I am still interested in him? Sorry for this long post, I'm pretty bad at this sort of stuff :/ Much thanks!
But if you can't do that, than maybe get your friends to drop hints to him. Have one of them say- "So do you still like *your name*? You know, she really likes you, she's just really shy"
When you two do talk about your relationship, whether he or you bring it up, you need to explain to him that you do really like him, but its hard for you to open up because you're shy, but you will work on it, you just need some time. He will understand, but you really do need to work on opening up, or it will never work.
