dear cupid, ok so there is this guy that I really like he is a grade bigger than me, he used to like me at the beginning of the year (I could tell from the clear hints he was dropping) but he never really told me.

At that time I didn't really like him, and then after about 3 months he just stopped dropping hints but that's when I started realising what a great guy he is, I instantly feel in love with him, his personality, sense of humour and so on.

I want to tell him but I really fear rejection and I am scared since we never talk, and it could make thing awkward, I also fear rejection since I'm a girl. What should I do? I love him but not sure if he likes me at this point.

I really like him and I am not sure if he likes me though. Please help!

I think the reason you like him is because he was paying attention to you by showing you that he like you at first. But you weren't interested in him at first, so since he stopped dropping hints and showing you that he likes you. You may think you love him because you like how he was treating you more than as a friend. I agree with what wise owl,aunty honesty and denizen said about being extra careful. You could get your hopes up for something that can't be turn into more.

You've learned a valuable lesson. He's not shining that light on you anymore. Now you're afraid he'll treat you like you treated him.

So treat people as you wish to be treated. Don't just want people for their attention. Want them because they want to be with you.

aunt honesty agony auntI think you enjoyed the attention you got from him, but now that he has stopped you want it back again so you feel you like him and you want to be with him.

You need to be careful in case he does not feel the same way. You are both young so hormones are flying all over the place. Just talk more to him and show him you are interested. But remember if he does not want to be your boyfriend, then he might make a great friend.

Denizen agony auntI think you should be careful. Your feelings can lead you astray. You didn't like this guy but now you do. You liked being liked, and now he has cooled off you are interested.

You should cast your net around for a new catch.
