I'm really sorry this is long but its a kinda long story and i gave an example. Ahh. okay so there is this guy and i really like him a LOT. he is 3 years older than me and is my best friends older brother. they don't get along at all so i talk to each of them without the other knowing. the thing is i really like her bro now. i talk to him on the internet all the time and text him every once in a while but then when it comes to talking to him face to face i'm an idiot. Like tonight i was at this thing for the school. He was there too and there were a lot of people.. i was alone and he was coming over to talk to me but i had no idea what to say. he was with his friends and gave me the nod and then i attempted to talk to him later when i was with my friends too.. but i seriously do not know what to say. i go blank. my cousins always tell him that i have a crush on him but when he asks me about it i say that their lying.. nobody knows that i like him.. i feel like i can't tell anyone. what do i do?

Well, I know what the feeling is like and trust me, it really does suck. What concerns me is that you're afraid to tell him how you feel, you deny what you've said, even though it's true. I'm guessing that you're afraid as to what his reaction is going to be like. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Will it be neither?
I gave a talk on my column recently and i was scared as to what the reaction of my classmates would be, but i had to know. Telling them would be the only way in which to find out. Trust me, panic attacks aren't fun when you're just about to talk about something personal.
So take a deep breath, relax and don't let your emotions get in the way. Get him alone somewhere and tell him how you feel towards him and see what he says. Make it short otherwise if it's long, you'll never be able to get the words out of your mouth and your emotions will take over.
