A female Australia age 30-35, *licatt writes:

I'm in high school at the moment, in my last year, and am interested in a guy I used to know... here's the history:

The boy in question is a year older than me, in the grade above, and late last year he asked me out. I didn't really know him at all except from having seen him around school occasionally, but I said yes and gave him my number. He suggested two outings, but I couldn't make either time, and told him so. Due to being very busy (I had an exchange student staying with me at the time, and was very busy with school work - which has always been my first priority) I never did get to go on that date. A couple of weeks before I left to go overseas at the end of the year, I facebook messaged him (because I wimped out of seeing him in person) and apologised for my conduct and sent him well wishes for the future.

I've grown up a bit, matured emotionally, and now regret having never gotten to know him, but I don't know if there is an appropriate way to get back in contact with him. Do you have any ideas? If you were in his place, would you be receptive to my contact? Or would you think it impertinent?

Or should I just forget it all and find something else to fill me time...?

I think you should get back in touch him, perhaps through Facebook message/text? I think a phone call would surprise him and it may turn out a little awkward. Just start off with a hello, long time no speak kind of thing and then the chemistry should relight if there's anything there. I hope this helps.

Bee Rose agony auntHey hun,

Can I just say your reasons for not seeing him are completely natural to every other girl out there.

I say if you still have feelings for this guy, then what's the harm in getting in contct with him, you will never know unless you try.

He may still have those feelings for you still deep down. All it takes is a 'Hello' to get a flame started. You never know.

Good Luck hun :))
