to say or not to say

[Guest]

This is also posted in another forum, but it's not getting much action over there. I'm not sure whether or not to tell a guy in my class that I like him alot and would like to get to know him better. We have been in several classes together and get along wonderfully. I am moving away about a month or two after our upcoming college graduation. It wasn't until recently that I realized just how attracted I was to this guy. It's been a long time since I felt this way about anybody. He makes me laugh and I can't help but smile when I'm around him. He truly is a nice guy.

 

I wish that I had figured out that I liked him much earlier. I had a suspicion that he felt the same way about me months ago, but I convinced myself I was wrong. In retrospect, I realize that he threw out a bunch of signs that I failed to see. The reason that I am hesitating is because I don't know how he would react. He has never said in words how he feels, so I cannot feel totally sure that he feels the same as I. Though, other women tell me that a woman knows when a man is attracted to her. This guy was so nice to me in the past, but I guess I was blind. I don't want to deal with rejection (if that happened). It would be sad. I am only moving a few hours away and am not tied down or committed to any one place.

 

I am moving because I had gotten a bit tired of my current city and wanted a change of scenery. I will still visit and sometimes be around this area due to family. So I don't think location is that big of a problem. A few times it has felt like he wanted to say something to me, about what I don't know. I used to think that he would say something at the end of the semester, but now I don't know. It's too bad, because I really like him and I feel he really likes me. By now I would hope that he knows how I feel about him, but maybe he does not know. Hopefully he will say something, because I don't think that I am brave enough to do that.
