Thanks to all of you who replied. Well, after plenty of soul searching and going out with him as friends a couple of times, I realized that I'd actually talked myself into having feelings for him and what I thought I felt wasn't really there when I saw him. So I was able to get some closure and happily say that I'm pretty much over him and though I never really got around to telling him, I'm almost certain that he wouldn't have felt the same way. I'm sorry if I disappointed any of you but sometimes we have to stop and really listen to what our hearts are telling us, and while for a moment there I actually thought it was telling me that I loved him, taking a step back and looking at things from a different point of view allowed me to really listen and come to the realization that though sometimes I may feel that he's what I want, he's not what I need right know, in fact..I don't think either one of us is what the other one needs, and in the long run, I think I made the right choice...maybe someday we will meet again and something else will come out of it, but not right now, and not this way.

I'm in need of some serious help. About 2 years ago I became close with this guy and through the course of our frienship I realized I had feelings for him but I was too scared and too proud to even admit it to myself. A lot of things happened, and while there were always little things that told me he felt the same way(the way he looked at me, the way he seemed kind of jealous when other guys hit on me, how nice he was to me when I got sick or something, and the hurt look on his face whenever I purposely tried to hurt him by making him think I had no feelings for him),he got a girlfriend and that made me drift away from him out of anger and dissappointment. Time passed, I still felt the same way, he broke up with his girlfriend because he didn't love her, we got close again, and something still tells me that he loves me but is too afraid to say something. He'll be leaving in a little while and my heart is telling me taht I should let him know how I fell otherwise I'll never be free but there's another part of me that is completely terrified of losing him and thinks that if he loves me, he'll make the first move. I really don't know what to do, should I tell him and risk getting my heart broken, or keep it to myself and always wonder what might have been?
