Should I wait for him to finally do so? Or should I? I've never had a boyfriend before and really have not much experience with this stuff, any advice?

I went to school with this guy who I absolutely adored and was madly in love with. We were good friends but I completely ruined things by coming on too strong and phoning/texting him all the time. He was giving me mixed signals- telling me we were soulmates one minute and ignoring me the next. This unfortunately made me worse and it got to the stage where I was so obsessed I was basically stalking him! Needless to say, he made it clear he wasn't interested and that was that. All I can say to you is yes, it's hard and yes it's tough when you really like someone; but if it's meant to be, it will be. Don't seem too eager, as it puts guys off big style. Simply text or phone him to say 'hows you' and go from there- especially if you haven't spoken in a while you should be able to tell from his language/tone of voice if he's interested. If he's not, you have to accept it and move on-the harsh reality is, if he was really that interested, he's have made a move before now. You deserve better, good luck!
