The one that never knew he got away
A guy I knew in high school has recently moved near me. I had a gigantic crush on him and told him so a couple times. He never felt the same way, but we were really good friends for a while and hung out a lot.
Anyway, he's all of a sudden back in my area and I can't stop thinking about him! I want to call him and ask him to hang out or something, but that old fear keeps coming back. I still really like him, but I'm terrified of letting him know.
Should I let him go? Call him up, ask him out, and see if we hit it off now that it's eight years later? Is this normal?!
