I know what are going through,I have the same thing.I know it is is to say JUST TELL HIM! but somehow I don't do it myself.I don't know how long I can stand this.
I gotta agree with hotmama here. The pain of rejection might seem scary but I don't think it's anything compared to the pain of knowing you could have had something great with someone but you missed out over something REALLY silly like being too scared to tell him. You can try flirting with him but the bottom line is that some guys just DON'T GET IT unless you tell them.
Here is a little secret about guys. (Ok maybe it's not that secret but whatever, lol.) I know we women are all about subtly and we think we're being REALLY obvious when we look at him and give him that smile or brush against him when we are close enough to do it without being weird, etc. But guys are very cut and dry. Most of them need things spelled out for them. So unless you say, "I like you." They don't get it.
Check this out. (OK granted this guy also has serious confidence issues, but still.) This guy I really liked asked me out. I accepted. We went on our first date. At the end of the date he dropped me off at my house and we ended up making out in his car for like an hour before I finally went inside. Just before I left, he asked me, "So are we going out now?" I tend to be really sarcastic and a major smartass so I said, "Oh gee, I dunno." I thought it was SOOOOOOO obvious that I was being sarcastic and we'd just made out for an hour. DUH. Next day, a mutual friend asks me about the date and I started gushing on and on about how great it was and how much I really liked him and how we were "going out" now. She looked at me and said, "Really? Because he told me that you told him you DIDN'T KNOW when he asked you out." I was FLOORED. I mean I thought it was SOOOOOOOO obvious. Apparently not. Apparently he went home all depressed because in his mind, I had REJECTED him. Anyway, that guy is now my husband. We've been together 9 years and we still laugh about that little misunderstanding between us, lol.
There was this other guy. Total opposite of my husband. Not just confident, I would go so far as to call him "cocky". Big time player. Lots of girls. The whole 9 yards, right? I would flirt ENDLESSLY with this guy all the time and I swear it was so obvious that I liked him. He never really acted on anything so I just figured he wasn't into me "that way". No biggie. Then one day this conversation leads to me just flat out telling him and he was like, "Wow. I had absolutely no idea!" Turned out he had a thing for me too all that time but never realized how I felt. So much for obvious, huh?
I could go on and on with all the examples from my past. It's happened way more times than I would care to admit. Don't assume he knows how you feel, no matter how obvious you've been. Until you tell him FLAT OUT how you feel, you can never be sure that he knows. And really, rejection is not so bad. You get over it. But one thing I always say is that I don't regret much. I don't regret anything I did that I shouldn't have. Only things I regret are things I never did but wish I had.
all through highschool there have been rumors that this guy is gay, people speculate on it all the time. i just got to know him. I think he's funny...

It truly doesn't matter how young or old we are, we as men are typically not any good at expressing how we feel. Perhaps it's because our parents don't teach us how (because obviously our fathers...
