hi, i have recently found this guy that i really liked from when i was about 7 and we sort of grew up together, i was always quite shy and he knew i liked him when we were about thirteen but said that he only liked me as a friend. i am now twenty and he is twenty two and i have recently found him on myspace, but im am afraid to contact him as he may still remain uninterested, but of course i have grown up alot since i was younger and alot more outgoing, i dont know wheather to contact him as i am simply afraid of rejection. what do you think i should do?

nologo agony auntLooks like this: you wanna go back in time.

There is some kinda emptyness in your life.

"Back to basics" means that something is wrong for you now.

"i was always quite shy and he knew i liked him" - the Past.

Present is here: "recently found him on myspace, but im am afraid to contact him as he may still remain uninterested".

Now you should contact him anyway - this will either prove that you are right or bring some changes into your life.

Farris agony auntI agree with CD. Contact him with the intention of friendship. That way there'll be no disappointment, or pressure. Sometimes lifestyles change so much that you'll find that you have absolutely nothing in common anymore.

Just send him a message saying hi and ask him what he's been up to. Just be friendly and act as if you don't remember ever fancying him (Doing so could make you feel embarrassed or awkward when talking to him).

Good luck & Best wishes!

cd206 agony auntYou say you've grown up a lot. That means you've quite likely changed too. As has he. Maybe you'll get in touch and realise you don't like the grown up him, or maybe he'll realise he likes the grown up you. What I would say is that if you choose to get in touch with him, don't do it because you want to be with him, do it because you want to be friends. If you go into it expecting a relationship then you might well be rejected whereas if you're friends rejection isn't an issue. Think about it carefully and don't come on too strong.
