We're friends and I want more. So does he, I think, but it's so awkward!

Question - (9 August 2006) 5 Answers - (Newest, 10 August 2006)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

I've known this boy, *James*, for nearly three years now and we've been very flirty in the past but nothing serious. But for the past year I've really fancied James and I dont know how he feels about me because he's always giving me mixed messages.

I told him how I felt a few months ago and everything got really confusing, but then we got back to just being friends and recently he's been texting me.

I went swimming with him but I felt really awkward with him like I couldn't get my words out. I will probably see him in the holidays too but should I let him know how I feel or do anything about it? And how can I act normal around him?! I think he likes me as more than a friend because I catch his eye, and he makes small gestures like I lost my ring and he put it on for me and he's always so nice to me.

What do I do!? I really like him but I can't be myself :(

anon2907 agony auntHey,

can you be sure he's not on holiday somewhere - or just run out of credit on his phone?

Have you texted him? You could ask him if he wants to meet up sometime??? Or just be coy and ask him how his holidays are going???

Just cos he's not texted doesnt't necessarily mean he doesn't like you......

Good luck!

anon2907 agony aunthey,

Well, first of all, I think if he didn't like you one way or another (either as a friends or more) then he wouldn't have come back to being friends with you, so that's a good start!

I think the other poster who said don't fess up your feelings had a good point because it could be too much too soon.

So hang out with him, have fun and enjoy his company and if things happen, it'll happen naturally. He sounds like a sweet and considerate guy, which is really nice!! Maybe avoid swimming, go to the pictures or something where you can talk about the film after and there won't be so much pressure to get the words out!

take care miss-anonymous and Good luck!
