Well, to say the last, I am interested in this guy. He is a grade lower than me, but that shouldn't matter, right? He's really mature.
Anyways, back when I was 9 and he was 8, we were best friends. We were best friends for 2-3 years. After that, we lost contact with each other.
In 2006, we discovered that we attended the same church, but of course, things are different now, as I am 17 and he is 16.
Obviously, we're all grown up now. And, I think that he is attracted to me, as I am to him. Unfortunately, I can't even talk to him.
The only time I see him is on Wednesday, at biblestudy/choir practice.
I get there early, but he is not there. Then, when everything officially starts, there is a division, meaning, the people in choir go off (that would be me) to practice. So then, I don't see him. Sometimes choir runs over, so I can't go to where everyone else is.
And, my parents are strict, and make me leave biblestudy/choir practice before its even over.
I want to talk to him before he loses interests, but there is literally no time. What should I do?
(also, I've checked myspace, facebook etc--he does not have one. I really don't want this to get out, so I can't ask anyone, because the kids can be really immature sometimes)
Ashumms answered Thursday May 24 2007, 10:35 pm: When he comes in, since you get there early, wave him over to sit by you before choir leaves to practice. If you can't whisper, take a pen with you and a mini notebook and write little notes in that to get things started and get you started talking again.
If you want, before you leave for choir, write your phone number on the paper and also write something like 'so we can actually talk sometime' or 'I'd really like to talk to you sometime'.
You can also put your email address or IM screen name and just write the same thing.
Make sure if you tell him your IM screen name that you also slip in the fact that you will 'be on tonight' or whenever you're usually on.
This way, you can start the flow of conversation and start up your friendship again. You can also be brave and invite him to hang out on Saturday. Ask him to go to the arcade. That way, if you get a little stuck on conversation, since you haven't seen each other in a while, the games will give you something to do between the silences, if there happen to be any.
I hope this works out for you, and if it doesn't, then you can curse me. But I'd appreciate it if you didn't put a curse ON me. [ Ashumms's advice column | Ask Ashumms A Question ]
