writes: I hooked up with one of my (sort of) friends 3 months ago, and then went off to school. I knew he liked me but knowing Id be gone for such a long time, I assumed it would be a one time thing. We kept talking and all, but he initiated most of it. He would say cute things, but I still was oblivious to how obvious he was being until I look back on it now. I dont think I ever really ever reciprocated it. Its a fear/attachment/trust thing, Im terrible at showing my true feelings. But I really, really like him, and have for a while. Actually still surprised it happened - I guess thats another thing, I feel like he is way too good for me. We stopped talking as much, mainly because I stopped being online as much as I got really nervous. I got paranoid in my head that he was over me and into other girls. Anyhow, next week is my spring break. He went away for a week, and I will only have three days when he is home. I guess I'll ask him to hang out the night after he comes back? But its at the point where we could easily carry on as just friends and it wouldnt be a problem at all. Hanging out could really just mean hanging out. I dont want that to happen. I dont know how to show him I really do like him. I dont know what to say or how to act. I dont want to throw myself at him because he might not feel that way anymore. I dont know how to scope it out? I ask because thus far, he has initiated everything (except for once and thats only because I had been drinking). I want to let him know that Im not just going along with it like its nothing. Im almost 20 and I still dont know how to properly do this. Im just too awkward for all this.

Relax, is sounds like he likes you too. So just be natural and smile, look into his eyes and touch him a lot, hands, arm, knee, while standing close to him.
As for what to say, I am a big fan of being honest, say I have been thinking about you a lot recently, and all the cute things you used to say to me...
And see what happens, he should get the hint pretty quick and act on it if he still likes you too.
