There is this guy I liked at school, I'm 15 and in all honesty not that ready for relationships but he was the only one out of all the guys I've liked in my life that I actually wanted to be with. He's 17. So I started to get to know him in class about a month ago but then he disappeared for 4 weeks. So I missed out on 4 weeks of talking to him and getting to know him better. Then he came back but left again because (we're in an alternative school) he had finished his courses and he didn't have anything to do until exam week. Today he came in for exams like the rest of us and left before I had even a chance to say hi.

I have him added on facebook but he rarely gets on, like once probably every 5 months. I've only spoken to him once on there, which was last night, and it made me ecstatic. But now it's summer, we're going to two different schools in the fall, and there is no way to talk to him without it being awkward. He wouldn't hang out with me, he's 2 years older and I'm not much for company. In a way I feel like it's his fault for skipping a whole month of school, but in a way I feel like it's mine for not trying hard enough. I feel like I should try and start messaging him but he rarely gets on the computer so it wouldn't be very effective. I guess I gotta just let it go, right?

P.S. What really made it worse was everyone at school said we should go out, said we would make the cutest couple and everyone was convinced he liked me and acted nicer and different (in the good way) around me. For a while I thought he liked me too but I think if he really did he would have come to school and would have said hi to me today. Talking to me on facebook outta no where while there were other kids who were on from our school to ask me about the exams seemed like progress but I'm pretty sure I was just reading too much into it.

I have my fb page set to appear offline because I don't like to be innundated with people wanting to chat to me when I'm busy; maybe he does that?

Send him a fb message it will go to his email address to let him know you sent a message and he may well respond.

But nothing ventured nothing gained...

Good luck with it...

We cannot know what might have been but it sounds like, because the difference in age seems too large at the moment, that it probably wouldn't have been much different if you'd had a longer period of time?

I would keep trying to chat with him a bit on fb and spend the summer doing some interesting things you want to do and see how it goes. Sounds like he was a good guy to chat with, give you some experience and confidence to try again with someone else at school next year.

why not go ahead and message him? he may get it sent to his email or he may not, but you have nothing to lose by trying. i think it's better to give it a shot then always wonder if anything could have come of it. i had a friend when younger and we were both too shy to really pursue the other and we missed out. i wish i had been a little more forward as he would have been a great first boyfriend.
