I like this shy guy and he knows I like him too but he's still in love with his ex!

Question - (25 January 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 26 January 2008)
A female Malaysia age 30-35, anonymous writes:

He still loves his ex (more like he feels 'lonely and emo' after the breakup). His ex is in the same class as him, so they hang out a lot and they're still best friends and all even before they were together.

I chat and IM him a lot. I made the first move to add him and stuff cause he's shy and is a nerd (but doesnt look like one)... Then the first time I IM-ed him, he asked me for my number.

Then we started getting close through text and IM. Afterwards he started noticing me in school (he's the kind who doesnt know the person unless the person knows you too). Nowadays, I catch him staring at me. Whenever he passes by, he smiles at me (he doesnt do this to other 'normal girl friends' unless he's their classmates or whatever..)

Before we were friends, I stared at him a lot and he caught me a few times. His best friend knows (so obviously he told my crush) bcus he asked me once.

Does he like me too?

Is he over his ex?

What should I do?

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

1. He's close to me so don't say stuff like 'get to know him' etc.

2. He KNOWS I like him in that way.

AgonyMalika agony auntYou should try asking him out somewhere like to the cinema or soemwhere like that and then gradually he'll want to spend more time with you.

About his ex the advice I'd give on that is for the time being forget about her.

If he's aware that you have a crush but still stares at you and I.m's you then he must have some feelings for you.

Moviefan agony auntWell you will probably have to ask him out in any case, if he is shy chances are even if you like him and he knows it he will not make a move and will wait forever and see if you will make a move. So you be the aggresser, yeah it's not very common but trust me whenever you deal with someone shy this will make things easier. This advice is coming from someone who is shy and lost many chances to date someone because he wouldn't make an advance.

Still shy(and nerdy) just ive learned to be the aggresser when necessary. And just ask him if he is over his ex, and then once you have asked him ask a few of his friends because most of the time they tell the truth even if the person is in denial and is lying to you and himself. I dought he will get upset if you ask.

Good Luck!
