Woah... He's so different now...


Question Posted Wednesday January 2 2008, 10:39 am

Hi everyone! Thanks in advance for your help :>).

Here's the deal...I used to have a huge crush on this kid, way back in the day...about 6 years ago. Yes, that'd be when I was in 3rd grade! We knew eachother from a summer camp, but he's two years older and I think he always thought I was kind of annoying...I was a little kid, gimme a break. :-P

Aaaanyway...I found him on facebook! and he added me as a friend. So, I've been talking to him on there and he seems really awesome! He's very smart, likes all the same music I like and then some (and someone with my taste in music is hard to come by), and he's really into the outdoors like I am! We have a lot of the same interests. He really seems like the perfect guy for me ... although I don't think he even thinks of me as a friend, because we haven't exactly spoken to eachother in person since ... well... 6 years ago, basically. But he's changed so much! We muttered a few words, nervously, at a cross country meet this fall. And we've talked a little on facebook.

But, I saw him at a track meet....and all my friends were there, and I know he would think they're really annoying (they are, haha), and I didn't take the ample opportunity to go talk to him! (stupid stupid stupid) I mean, how do you talk to someone who you haven't seen in 6 years!!?! Plus, he's a junior and I'm just a freshman...so he might think I'm annoying, although I think and have been told I'm very mature for my age.

So basically, my problem is that I can't talk to him. I'm not usually like this at all! I'm so outgoing usually. But, I think the thing is, he's so much different now, and he told me I was too. I just wanna be his friend, trust me; i'm not asking for a relationship right now with this guy I haven't even talked to yet!

How should I approach talking to him? All my friends tease me about him all the time...and it's quite annoying. I just want to have a normal friendly relationship with him, not all glossed over because of some dumb things my friends say. :-P

Thank you so much for the help - I realllly appreciate it. :>)

Additional info, added Wednesday January 2 2008, 9:52 pm:
We don't go to the same school. We actually go to "rival" schools, haha :-P
So, I never really see him, other than at track meets. And I'm really nervous about it, because he is old enough to be a senior (he's 17...) and I'm only 14. It just seems like he'd think it was weird...but I just wanna start a conversation with him. Thanks again.

Well it is a guy...and sometimes they are hard to talk to. Just tink of hiim as one of your best friends. How ever you start a conversation with them, start the same way with him. See if there is other ways to keep in contact with him. Just message him more and try and get a good coversation going by talking bout little stuff like....how have you been...have you ever gone back to that camp. or what is your fav color..and things like that. Just try and be normal, it is ok if you are nervous, everyone is at one point. If you want to, you can tell him that you miss being apart of his life and that you want to be friends again, like the old days. that sounds kinda chessy but it might work. Just try and talk to him like he is your best friend and forget he is a guy, and that you haven't seen or talked in forever, just catch up and maybe something might evolve out of it. and it is ok of the age difference..no big deal. Good luck

uhh guys LOVE younger girls. especially freshmen. at least thats how it is at myyy school.
you didnt give too much information. like do you go to the same school sa him? then one day when your eating, be like i can eat so much and he'll be like i can eat more, and be like wanna bet? and theres a lunch date. just set yourself up for a way that could lead to you two hanging out.
just cuz your a freshman it doesnt mean he'll think your annoying.
ask him what he did over winterbreak next time you see him in the halls or something =]
