21/f
I have what is akin to a high school crush on this guy. I hadn't seen him in about 4 months, but ran into him the other day at college. We talked and all like old times for an hour. Now the weird thing is, the way I know him is he is a friend of my ex.
My ex and I broke up 4 months ago and it was a nasty breakup. We were together for 3 months. When I ran into this guy the other day, he didn't really talk much about my ex except to say he was a real asshole for what he did to me and he barely sees him anymore.
When I was with my ex, this guy was always way nicer to me and would compliment me and pay attention to me. He would always say weird things like how I was better than his ex gf (who I never met) and how cool I was. I never would've done anything before but now that we're both single, I feel I've got my chance.
However, I'm not sure how he feels about me. So my questions are:
1) Do you think he would be totally opposed to going out with me because he met me through my ex? I know they aren't really friends anymore but some people might feel weird.
2) I'm not very good at making a move and like I said the other day was the first time I've seen this guy in months. If I see him again, what should I do?
Please help.. I'm going crazy.. can't stop thinking about him!
Thanks.

It sounds like maybe this guy is into you, and you don't want to seem desperate. Forget about the ex, its his loss and you don't owe him anything. The next time you see this guy just be friendly, smile a lot, just enjoy having a conversation with him. If you're headed somewhere just ask if he'd like to walk with you, to your next class or whatever. But leave the ball in his court. It sounds old fashion, but every guy likes the chase. If you don't believe me, how many "easy" girls do you know that are in healthy, happy relationships? Take it easy, don't geek out! And enjoy this new crush!

And I'm not good at making moves either, so what i would do is to invite him out to a club/bar whatever and just dance with him and see where things go and see if he tries making a move on you.
Just be really flirty and be yourself. :)
Good luck! [ Ginguhh's advice column | Ask Ginguhh A Question ]
