OK so... I'm just wanting to see what peoples oppinions are on this...

So... I'm gonna put up a brief summary of my situation.
Some of you might have read my first posts I had on here and will know this story well.

K well about april last year I went to this talent quest thing in a town 2 hrs away... there was this guy who was the mc (he was a part of a group of young people who go on tour for a year doing God's work through performing arts...) anyways... I kinda just thought "oh he has nice hair..." and that's about all I thought... but like back stage he just kept talking to me and seemed to be cheering whenever I performed or w/e and anyways... the talent quest ended and I'd won a few categories... and he'd congradulated me... and I went home, to hrs away... kinda bummed i didn't get to know him a lil better or get contact details or w/e.

anyways, the youth organisation for my region sent out an email asking if there were any schools that would like this group of young people to perform. and so I talked to my dad (cuz I wasn't @ school anymore... and he's a teacher there...) and he said it would be great if they could come... (secretly I was being sneekysneeky and just wanted to get to know this guy more...) and they said they'd be up the next day and they boarded @ my friends house... and my friend was busy and asked me to come over and host them while they were there for the few days...
(This isn't really breif lol)

um well long story short... I did get to know him more and when they arrived he was all "JOJO!!!!!! Nice to see you again!!!" and he'd always ask me questions, kinda stare at me (I kinda use my periphial vision to see if people are doing something when they think I can't see them...) and in performances he'd sing  and whenever they went into the crowd, he'd sing to me... (that was a little akward...)

anyways... trying to be brief... saw him again later that year caught up a bit... then txt him for a lil while... (oddly whenever we txtd each other he'd reply only 3 times... and basic answers... but I've come to know now that he actually doesn't really do email/txts etc lol.) so... once he didn't reply... for like 6 months... and then I get this txt randomly like a few weeks b4 Im gonna c him again @ an event... anyways, i was reluctant to let him back into my life cuz he hadn't replyd for ages and I took that as an "i'm not interested" yet when he saw me again he ran up to me huggd me and idk it was weird...

A year after we met, he came back to mc the same talent quest and this time he introduced me and only me, with this long speech like "the wonderful amazing... etc" and that was embarassing... but he was being really friendly etc... (Gosh I hope he doesn't read this cuz he'd know I was talking about him :P hehe) and I kinda ignored him and he was being really nice and I still ignored him... we kinda also almost had a "moment" and idk it was too weird for me... but that's cuz I was trying to be true to this other guy I liked (cuz I had moved on thinking he wasn't interested...)
anyways...

we've sorta txtd since then (it's been a few months... i'm trying to not be so... what's the word girls?? so like "OMGosh! he likes me... do I make the first step, does he, what if he takes too long :P " lol. and idk the other guy ended up dating someone else... and I kinda think I've stuffed it up with this guy and cuz I'm stupid in ignoring him, he thinks I'm not interested... which I am... and have been for like over a year now... (btw he lives like 9 hrs away from me... and he's 8 months or something like that... younger than me...)

so... what do you all think I should either do, say whatever...
ATM I'm @ peace about it and letting God take it over... I'm praying and trusting that God does what's best. but what do you think I should or shouldn't do :P
I'm just interested in what yoou'll come up with etc...
(He txtd me the last time 4 times... and VERY long txts and emailed me a few times...)

haha and now the guys are thinking "Do girls really think all this stuff when they like you?" and well, my answer is... "yes we do!"

haha
K I'll stop talking now... nice breif summary :P like 10 paragraphs :P

hmmm seeing as you've known him for a long time but rarely see him I think you should make some sort of move, show him you're interested and don't be too subtle.
You don't have to ask him out or anything but you could be a little more than friendly and figure out a way to see him again. :)

I agree, if you like him, don't be subtle =]

But just to make this more complicated (I'm sorry!!), he might not actually "like" you. Maybe he does this to all his friends, and since he probably didn't know many people at the performance at your dads school, you were an obvious choice to be around. I'm just saying... someone on here once (wisely) said to only assume a guy likes you if he says something about it- otherwise, you're just friends. Which doesn't mean that you can't hint, but that us gals shouldn't assume that a guy likes us unless he actually says something.

LOL i think I was one of the people that wrote "if he doesn't actually say he likes you, just assume your friends" :P yeah that's what I have been doing...

As to James, My friend had an engagement party in a town approx an hr from him, and I had thought, if i was going all that way, I might as well go see him... and so I emailed him about catching up and then a few days later I actually couldn't go down... so I emailed him again saying that we'd have to catch up next time... and he reply'd saying something like "oh sorry i only just got ur email, I've been on the mountains snowboarding... Sucks you can't come, but we'll def have to catch up next time! :D " but yeah...

I could have gone for a road trip down there (our ex youth pastors live there too, and we could go see them too...) but I don't have a car anymore cuz I had a car accident on the weekend... but yeah... (No one was hurt :D ) but I can't drive my car... It's KO'd

oh also... I'm so bad at not being subtle :P hehe. also cuz I dont like ruining friendships if I do make it more obvious... (oh @ the talent quest this year, I did invite him to do movies and bowling with us... if he wasn't busy moving all the equiptment to the bigger venue... but he was busy all day and apologised for not getting back to me that night...)

I feel like he isn't ignoring you, but if he was SERIOUSLY majorly into you, he would have found a way to see you- at least I know that if I really really wanted to hang out with someone, I would do everything in my power to do so. But I don't think he is ignoring you and just because he isn't making a huge effort doesn't mean that he couldn't or doesn't want to see you.

O.K. I had a car crash last weekend... and I thought I'd let him know etc, you know, in case he wanted to know... and he takes a whole flippin week to reply...
IDK I kinda also can't get over his "wigga" ness... like there's a dif between a guy just having a bit of a "gangsta" style and a guy who's white as, thinking he's black... think eminem...
and OMGosh... he tried to Krump... like I know white people who can krump really well, but he's not one of them, and he thought he was "the man" at it... I felt embarrassed for myself...

LOL idk I've been doing alot of reevaluating alot lately and idk... I donno if I can really handle that side of him... and I know that sounds sad but idk... I guess I'm just confused as atm and need to seriously think about stuff lol :P
