what to doooo?! :(

urrrgghh! i am so confused

Basically, me and this guy have been getting together on and off since september! which is ages i know.
I really like him and i think he feels the same. However, we are both really shy and often have trouble approaching eachother in groups, hence why it's been going on so long.
Recently though, i feel he may be starting to give up and thinks im not that bothered. There was a recent time when i walked by him and didn't say hi and apparently he was really shocked and disappointed (understandably i know!) I texted him to apologise and he didn't reply. I really want to tell him how i feel but i'm really scared i've left it too late and the damage is done as he seems to make less effort than he used to with me. I haven't felt as strongly about someone for ages, or ever in fact and the thought that i have missed my chance makes me so upset.

Basically, i just need some advice on what to do. Bearing in mind i am totally accepting that i've been in the wrong.
Thanks x

You need to grab life by its *******s and go for it. It you never tell him how you really feel then you never know what could have been! You don't want to go through life with regrets so tell him, put it out there and see what happens next. Thers only 2 things that can happen,
1) he feels the same
2) he doesn't feel the same.
Its 50/50, don't be afraid of rejction, it'l only make you stronger and you will have at least learnt a valuble lesson.
If I never just went all out and told my now boyfriend how I felt 15 months ago then Id be sitting here now wondering, 'what if'.

i had a similar experience a few years ago with a guy i liked, as in that i liked him. i was too shy to tell him. i did however regret it.

my best advice is go for it... tell him how you feel.... if the damage has already been done then it wont matter, and if he still likes you, problem solved!!!

Or be old fashioned and write him a (love) letter/email if you find it too difficult to talk about these things face to face with him.

oh my god! im in the exact same position. I agree with the above people that you have to tell him otherwise you'll always be wondering 'waht if, what if...' but its a lot harder than just saying it. But just imagine how good you'll feel afterwards if it all works out.
I should take my own advice really!

what? you've been kinda with this guy since september, yet you're too scared to talk in large groups and you dont say hi when you pass eachother, then he has a hissy fit for it. This all sounds a little odd to me...
Just tell him how much he means and to move on past the bull**** stage:smile:

dont text him back. Just ask him straight out what the problem is, all this from not saying hi, i do this loads, i usually walk, and trust me i am in my won world ( i have nearly got hit by busses numerous time), only when my freinds shout out my name in my ear i take notice, if you wave in fornt of me i dont notice. Anyway the point is, clear the air asap. For a guy, if you ask him something straight out, he hasnt got a chance tot hink of a lie and usually only warps the truth a little
