Becoming obsessed...

Was going to go anonymous on this but I just thought what the hell...I'll keep it short anyway...

Basically it's the same ol' problem - I'm completely in love with someone, and I know I should have said something to him by now (7 months) but the timing's just never been right...and I'm shy...anyway

I can't stop thinking about him, I can't sleep, can't eat properly - I went out with my girly friends today for a boy-free shopping day, and I was just looking around everywhere, just in case I saw him...it must be so bad for my friends cos I just can't stop thinking / talking about him. I know people are gonna tell me to just tell him I like him...but is there any other advice out there?

Awww it's not easy to tell him how you feel, especially if you're shy. However as it seems to be taking up a lot of your time then the best thing is to just tell him, if he's free of course. First you should subtly somehow find out if he's interested to save a lot of heartache, then either pluck up your courage and let him know or get him to ask you out somehow.

do you think he likes you?
You're right, you should tell him. But if you're shy, maybe you could do it another way? Slip a note somewhere he's going to find it. Say it jokingly, see how he reacts, but then come over all serious. Or the best way, strap on a pair and tell him straight!
i am really in love with a particular girl as well and it takes up a lot of my time and i am too shy to do anything about it - please pm me about any ideas that any guys/girls have about what i could do to let her know

I've done quite a few (OK loads) of posts about this before - he's at my school in the year above, and in my orchestra outside of school - we get on so, so well together, and everytime we see each other at school he smiles and says hi - when this happens I think he might like me, just in the way he smiles at me. But at my orchestra we don't really talk cos we're in different friendship groups. But I love him soo much - and I know we would make a great couple as we have so much in common and always have loads to talk about :frown::frown:

ah young love

some ideas:
-get your friend to ask him out for u!

-get drunk and ask him!

-Get drunk, then txt him
if he says yes, your happy
if he says no, you can just say it was your friends messing about

good luck

Personally I would start to become more intimate with them, to see how they react, and perhaps also for you to know him that much better - then if you do ask, it won't be such a shock or you will be able to find it easier to ask him rather than that annoying thought of "How can I just approach and say I like him?"

Just make yourself ask for it... he'll probably be really flattered you did, and you wouldn't think twice about asking a friend for their number so if he doesn't know you like him he won't think twice about it!

To get his phone number you could always get a friend to ask or ask one of his friends that you might happen to know.

Good idea lol. I'll just have to make sure he has mine otherwise he'll be thinking 'Who's this weird girl telling me she likes me?' lol. Cheers dudes, I'm gonna go eat my troubles away....drowning in Ben&Jerry's Cookie Dough sounds good to me :wink: mwah xx

Aww gosh,I was in exactly the same position as you a little while ago.I never told the guy,lol...but I thought 'what if' for months after!

Seriously,you've got to tell him or you will really regret it.If you know him quite well just suggest a 'revision session' together or something,do some studying then offer him some alcohol(while downing lots yourself to give you courage hahaha)....

If you don't know him very well I'd suggest talking to him more.Say hi when you see him,invite him to a party you're going to etc....

I do talk to him at every opportunity I get! Eg at parties and stuff, if he's with his mates and I'm with mine, I will make a point of going over to say hi, and I'll always seek him out for a hug goodbye...if that's not enough hints i dunno what is! I think he's quite shy as well though...and he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend at the mo.
