If you had an intense interest (read: massive crush by a teenager) on someone, and wanted to tell them, could you bring yourself to do it? Yes, this is about me, if you must know.
Ok, here's what it is: (thankfully you people can help with this, being independent parties) There is a guy that I've known for a while. We get along great, talk about all kinds of things, and enjoy each other's company. He's not from here (definite plus) so that gives him a more worldly perspective, and makes him easy to talk to about many things.
We've been kept apart by lots of different things: he's fairly quiet, I'm more gregarious. Distance hurts (he lives away, but still keeps in contact), he feels comfortable calling me whenever, and I do the same. It's more of an easy friendship than anything.
However, I get the impression there just may be more to it. I can't quite put all the pieces together, but he's dropped hints and then just as quickly rescinded them and apologized. I've done the same. It seems very sophomoric, but after the many MANY bad dates/incidences that' I've had, I'm a little gun shy. No, that's not true. I've VERY gun shy.
Neither of us being obviously interested, but intensely interested all at the same time is causing friction - and not the good kind.
What to do? What to do?
I hate this part.
Ah, the agony. Does he read this? Seems like one of you has to make a move and by the sound of it, it's got to be you. :-) Hey, if it doesn't work out, at least the tw of you can keep your friendship and will always have something to laugh about together. If it does work out - even better!
Good luck!
No, he doesn't read this. Yeah, I guess I can make the first move, but I dunno. I don't want to make such a comfortable thing awkward.
But if it does work out....
if you're interested and he's interested, go for it. you might as well. from the way things are going, the frustration with your situation is starting to get a bit tiresome on both sides.
and you don't have to take my word on it. you should listen to céline and barbra's advice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSxt7BNYYZc

good luck!
What do they say? Nothing ventured, nothing gained? (that's what "they" say, personally, I'm a big chicken)
