writes: I fell in love with a college friend of mine a few years ago, but I never told him. We hung out a lot with other college pals, just as friends. I heard from someone else, though, that he was also very attracted to me but he didn't want to do anything about it because he thought dating a friend would be too weird. That was a few years ago. We've hardly seen one another since (although we live in the same town) and I went to live overseas for two years. Now that I'm back, I've fallen for him all over again (they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder) and I know that he is single again. I really want to tell him how I feel. I know he'd feel awkward dating a friend, but we haven't hung out as friends for a couple of years, so maybe now it'd be different. I'm catching up with him at a party soon, should I tell him? Maybe I can convince him to at least give us a try?

I think you should give it a try. Maybe not tell the whole love story the first time you see each other, but perhaps just ask him out and take it from there. If you've still got mutual feelings then it happen naturally between you. It might have been hard/weird in college when you shared friends and lives to some extent but sounds like a different situation now. Good luck!
