I have a crush on him but don't want it to go any further if we are just going to be friends!

Question - (16 October 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 October 2010)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I recently got back in touch with an old friend. We live 2 hrs. apart but he's supposed to me moving closer within the next year. I've only seen him twice in the past two years, but have connected on facebook. At first I thought he was just being friendly, but I'm starting to wonder know if he's interested in more. He usually 'likes' or comments on pretty much everything I say. However, it's usually only a comment or two and once others join in he pretty much disappears. He knows I have a few favorite pastimes and seems to always announce on fb when he has one of these activities planned. We do not message very often but when he did he mentioned something we should talk about when we see each other....even though we have no set plans to 'see each other'. Lastly, my son is VERY into model airplanes and in a conversation about them he offered to take my son to the flight field to see and fly some of the models there. I know he got out of a bad relationship a little over a year ago and I went through a divorce myself at the beginning of the year. I do not want to be blunt and ask him anything and risk scaring him off if he's wanting to take things slow, but I find myself developing a crush on him and don't want it to go any further if he just wants to be friends.

mizz.butterflies agony auntdo not tell him how you feel.dont rush things.

Facebook can make things very awkward.The agony of him messaging you....the feeling you get in your stomach when he types something nice to you. We've all been through that.

MEET SOON. thats how you'll know.

How you do that?

Tell him you're gonna go to X town in 3 days( you said you live 2 hours apart,so the X town is in the middle) for a spa treatment,a doctor appointment or whatever...and add you'd like to meet up for a coffee afterwards. See what he says.

aunt honesty agony auntWell am afraid you just have to be honest with him and tell him how you feel, so that you know one way or another, its better finding out now how he feels than when you are head over heels for him as you will just only get hurt more.

I know that it is a tricky subject to bring up. So maybe you could hit the subject lightly and next time you talk to him casually ask him would he be up for going out on a date and you can take it from there. Dont tell him you have feelings for him or anything as it might be a bit two soon but just tell him you like him and would love a chance to catch up and get to know each other more.
