How to approach him

This is kind of complicated but I'll try to make this brief, I like this guy and I kissed him last year, but I don't know him all that well, yet it seemed there was a 'connection' between us. However, he was going to uni shortly after so that was that basically, but I couldn't get him out of my head and he's back now for the holidays. I saw him the other night but didn't dare speak to him :redface: because we really never speak. However, one of my friends saw him in town and told him I liked him and he remembered me and said something like I hope so/I wish. The problem is I still really like him and want to know how to approach him. Facebook seems the best way as it's difficult to know when I'm going to see him again, but how should I go about it? Or should I forget about it as, if he was that interested, he would have approached me?

Hope this all makes sense, I just need some advice really, how to approach him and how you would react to being approached if you were him? I'm really bad at this type of situation. I'm anon just in case he happens to use this site! Also I think this post was deleted, what's wrong with it :confused: Thanks

Right. Well, what's he gonna do, smack you with a shovel? Worst thing that can happen is he's not interested and he walks away. Why should the man have to do all the running? If you're interested, you go and approach him - who knows what will happen? And if you don't see him regularly, then Facebook is ok - it's a bit impersonal, but it's an efficient and effective means of communication. So, yeah. Go do something and stop sitting waiting for him. He might be sitting there thinking exactly the same as you.

^ lol I was thinking that, may have to do that if I chicken out!

generalebriety, I know you're right, think I'm just scared of getting rejected. I don't know how to go about it though, like whether I just send my number, or if I tell him I like him but, like you said, kind of impersonal over facebook! I'm not used to this kind of situation I guess, as a girl, you do typically wait for the guy to do the running, though I know there's no reason why the girl shouldn't do it.

Next time you are in the same area, make eye contact and smile (you are showing your interest

It works like a charm

However when he comes over please do not proceed to ignore him

So its been a year since you haven't seen him right, a lot of things might have happened at uni, maybe hes got a gf there he might not want you to know about? Are you ready for a relationship knowing he's about to leave to uni again in sept/oct?

If you absolutely must contact him through Facebook, ask if he wants to meet up and go do something some time. Then go to the cinema and afterwards, suggest going and eating some ****e in McDonald's or whatever. And just get talking. :p:
