I am confused.... could I please have some advice?

Ok, So I am a current Sophmore at an all girls private school. I like this boy I went to middle school with from 2 years ago, I know he goes to an all boys boarding school a few hours away. I have not seen him or talked to him since we graduated together. I know that he is on a social networking site but I am not, although I have seen his profile at friends homes.... Anyway, in 8th grade I was sort of shy when he was more outspoken. Well, he was really nice to me, sweet kind of his personality would always be different around me. His friends would somtimes come up to me an say that he liked me... also he would blush alot when we were talking. Basically, he liked me and I liked him, we were just in the 8th grade and being, like normal 13-14 year olds. Well, I still like him but don't know what to do to reconnect with him and not seem weird or like I like him still (if he does not like me). So, how do you suggest I reconnect with him.....???? I am open to anything and sorry for the long, obnoxious story:(

well.. you could connect with some people and see if any of them know his number. or you can search for his number in the phonebook. you could try and join the networking site.
hope that helped

Thank.... but what would I say if I got his # or was his friend on the social networking site. Like that wasn't creeperish ( for lack of better word)???? I don't want one of those "hi, do you remeber me, how are you doing" awkward conversations thatreally don't go anywhere, I know some of his interests... whatdirection do you think I should stear a conversation if I we did reconnect?? Thanks again!!

I'd say you should join the networking site. They're fine as long as you don't put up all of your information. It wouldn't seem weird to add him, I add a lot of people I haven't had a lot of interaction with on those.

Oh to add onto Trobiejr try to get other friends on the site first so it doesn't seem like you only joined to talk to him.

Well first off, if you want to reconnect with him, join the social network he is on. Then start catching up with each other. Oh, also make sure if he is still interested in you. Try not to give off a creepy stalker vibe and start asking him a whole bunch of questions. Remember, make sure if he still likes you, or not.

I agree with all the advice to join the social networking site.
It's a great way to casually reconnect with this guy and see if he still has any interest. If he doesn't you didn't embarrass yourself or waste your time. Win-win situation.
Just 'friend' him, and leave a little message in his inbox. Contrary to what you said, those "remember me?" convos aren't awkward unless you want them to be. And if you're subtle enough in your flirtation with him, he'll find it sexy and exciting that he's reconnecting with an old love interest. Go for it girl! Don't over think it.

The key to reconnecting with him is confidence, if you do it, feeling shy, and/or guilty about it, it will shine through that will put a question in his mind.
But if you act like it's the most normal thing, he won't over-think it either.
Just say a friend told you about that site, and you were looking if anyone you knew was in there, when you casually found him.

then instead of asking, "do you remember me" shyly, do it casually. "Hey do you remember when we use to ..." and put something there. Usually talking about good ol' times is a good conversation.
And after that, just go with the flow.
No need to be nervous, or scared.

Let me know what you think.
