An Invisible Wall

[Extreme586]

Have any of you felt like there was a person you really liked, and have known for a very very long time, yet you never really even had the chance to officially meet them? It's the kind of situation I'm dealing with right now. I really like this guy and it seems like he showed some interest in me, yet we haven't even ever really had a conversation between the two of us. I've known him for 5 years now and we are juniors in high school. We had a class together last year but now I'm lucky if I pass him while walking to my classes! There's no hi's or hello's when we go by each other, it's just that glance that we hold for a few seconds occasionally and it's driving me crazy. It's like I like him, and he knows it, and I think he likes me, yet neither of us will breach that invisible wall that has been slowly building between us for years.

I love him and his personality, so this isn't just some kind of conceited attraction that just popped up, it's been growing over the years as I've come to adore him and really care for him. Yet we won't break the ice because neither of us is sure how to. Please give me advice on what I can do! :(

well sounds like you should just stick as friends if your so worried about the problems that will follow. maybe its just better that way... umm you could try and talk to him and see how he feels who knows maybe the feelings are mutual
you never know unless you ask. talk about it. discuss it.... and hopefully it should make things easier

I guess Im just scared to ask him. Strangely its not so much the fear of rejection, but more so the fear of someone in my life knowing Im gay. I feel really vulnerable giving that knowledge to him even though I trust him with it. Like I said theres that invisible wall there, we dont really talk to each other or hang out even though we are friends.

Yes, half the people in my grade and in the grade below mine. I don't think I'll have a chance to meet them any time soon.

OMG its like i posted this. I am in the EXACT same situatuon my friend. The only thing that is different is we have know eachother for more than 1 maybe 2 years. I can't give any advice really since I'm in the same predicament. All i can do you is wish you good luck! I can tell you soemthign like "Make a move!" but I'd be a hypocrit because I would be far too scared to do the same.

OK well i was in the same situation for like 2 yrs... talk to him on Facebook,text him what ever... then you invite him over to a party or something and talk to him... then after a while ask him his feel or what he is thinking at that moment...
then you go into a good detailed talk... then that is when you ask the question... worked for me.:cool:
