We're friends. He's 18, I'm 21. Our friendship started fast and escalated and we spend a ton of time together, and undoubtedly I'm attracted to him. He says he's not into girls like me (he wants the skinny perfect blonde, of course), but then he acts like he is. He'll have conversations with me about very personal, private things he's never said (or probably will say) to other people, and he gets sad if we don't get to hang out for more than a day or two. But, there's nothing specific happening between us. I'm too damn nervous to make a move, in case he's not interested despite the way he acts toward me v. other people... so what do you think he wants? How do I find out, short of an awkward conversation where I just have to ask? He makes me feel like a nervous 12 year old girl.

AMSxO answered Tuesday May 8 2012, 10:37 am: I don't think you should say anything. If he says he's into a certain type then let him be. I think you should maybe go without seeing him for a couple of days, have him miss you...after all you're just friends right? Don't let him know you're always available for him. he could have feelings for you, you never know! My best friend did but never did tell me! I mean it's up to you what you make out of it. But I think you should just let it be since you don't want to ruin a friendship over something that doesn't hold a lot of promise.

second off, if you feel like you can't be without him, i would talk to him about it, no matter how awkward it is. you need to stand up to him, be honest and straight forward. the biggest risk of all is not taking one, and if he ends up not wanting you back, it's his loss, and there are plenty of fish in the sea.
*so, to sum it all up, what i would do, is i would not loose your dignity over a guy who doesn't even deserve you.
*but, if you can't help but needing him, be honest and tell him how you feel.
good luck:)
p.s. it doesn't seem like he makes you feel happy and beautiful. that's the way a guy should make you feel. go and find your true love who treats you right and makes you feel happy:) [ sparkle26's advice column | Ask sparkle26 A Question ]
