There's this boy....
Hi! I'm 13 and really like this boy. I have literally liked him since I was 5 years old. We used to be so close, but when I left for a while, we didn't talk when I came back. I really really like him and I know that he used to like me too. We have basically liked each other since we 5. There were some rumours that he liked me a few weeks ago, but I thinks he likes this other girl. She is a friend and likes him. I don't want to hurt anyone, but I really like him. How do I know if he likes me? How can I talk to him without it being awkward?

What he liked in people when he was 5, could have changed since then. I assume he's close to your age. If you were friends, then I see no reason why he could change so much that he wouldn't want you as just a friend now. However since you're puberty age when kids start having attraction to the opposite sex, that changes things a bit if you think you might want him as a romantic interest. In that case, it depends on whether he currently has a girlfriend or not. The only way to find out is to talk to him. I know people your age who are more into texting than talking to people are beginning to have difficulty knowing what to say to others, how to have a conversation. If you rely too much on texting, I suggest that you practice face to face talking in an equal amount to how much you text which may require doing lots less texting.So you need to talk to him. How about: "Hi John, remember me? We used to be friends but then I moved away for a while. Well, I was uncertain whether I should talk to you, to see if we could still be friends. I don't know if you have a girlfriend who might be jealous if I spend time talking to you. To be honest, it feels awkward not talking to you or acknowledging you even though I really know you. I'd like to see if we can both be at least friends again and pick up from where we left off. "
That would be the best thing to finding out if you can be friends again. Do not be afraid to share how scared, uncertain, or worried you are because everyone does at some point and it makes you come across as truthful and genuine, not fake or anything like that, plus facing the fear of talking to him again after a while apart will make your fears disappear after a couple of minutes. Its like facing up to a bully who is all bark but no bite, fear will take off running as you face it and do just that which you are scared to do. Good luck.
