Back at school we used to flirt all the time and we went to the school dance together but nothing ever happened between us. At school I had this stupid crush on an older guy and he knew about it. After we graduated from high school I saw him at friends' birthdays a few times and each time we ended up talking and flirting just like old times. A few years ago at one of these parties he spent the whole time talking to me and afterwards suggested he give me a call if one of his friends has a get together. I didn’t get the hint that he was probably after my number and again nothing happened. I saw him again the other night at a mutual friend's dinner and it was like old times again, talking and flirting. We didn't get to spend much time alone but when I was about to leave he kissed me on the cheek and gave me a really tight hug (all he ever did before is say bye and maybe wave). During the night he asked me if I go out much and how he doesn’t have anyone to play tennis with (we played together at school). Was that another hint?I don't know if he ever liked me but I have this feeling that he did. Is there a chance he still does? And if he does why would he never have done anything about it? Rejection perhaps, as I never seem to take the hint? He's single and I really like him. What should I do?

I don't really understand why he might be shy but i know why he might be scared of rejection. The reason for this is because he's known you for so long that he will feel really hurt by it. If you do want to start a relationship with him it seems like you have to make the first move by asking him out for a coffee or something. I know it sometimes make your heartbeat fast but give it try.
Best Of Luck!!

I think you really are answering your own question there - without actually stating it. There's a mutual connection between you both, and has been for a long, long time! Just go for it. You like him, and i'm pretty positive that anyone who reads this will agree that he likes you. What do you have to lose?
