So, recently, my friend, let's call her Kayla, talked me into starting to go to a youth group with her. It was the first time for the both of us. Then, I decided to invite my best friend, Melody. Well, we started going, and go figure, there was a mighty cute boy. Well, Melody knew this boy, and they talked often. And, Kayla and I were just to shy to talk to him. Then after going a couple times, Kayla had gotten to know him pretty well. They had talked on the phone a couple times, and talked in person. But, I, being the shy one, hadn't gotten around to talking to him in person or even on the phone. Sure, we talked on myspace, and he seemed almost interested in me. Before he and I even started talking, he asked Melody what my name was, and asked if I would come next week. He said I was kinda cute, and he kinda liked me. Eventually we became friends on myspace. And so began the messages. Well, finally, a couple days ago when Kayla and I went to the movies/mall, she called and invited...let's call him Collin. Well, he came, and imagine how awkward that was. Did i mention Kayla and I both liked him? And it had been a couple weeks since he told me he kinda liked me, so I didn't know if that still stood. Not to mention, only a month ago, he got out of a eight month relationship. And he tells me he's trying to be friends with his ex, and whatnot. She even came with him to youth one night. And, she wants him back. But, he told me he wants to move on. And he never says cute things to Kayley like he does to me. Like the other night, he said I was awkward, and I said I hated it, and he said it was kinda cute. And at the movies the other day, he would flirt a lot. But, still, on his top eight on myspace, his ex is number one, and then Kayla is fifth, and I'm sixth. I'm so beyond confused with this kid. I make it so obvious, but he never says a word or seems to show that he knows...

Maybe he hasn't fully gotten over her but he is making an effort on moving on and he's interested in you. It seems like he is still trying to get to know you and talking and the more you guys talk, the more he is attracted to you. & about MySpace.. don't take it personally that you're the 6th one. He might be shy to tell you how he really feels and he might be afraid of rejection. Just keep talking to him more and hang out. Then he will realize that you truly are into him and maybe when he's ready he's ready he'll make a move. Good luck with everything and I hope it works out.
