So there’s this guy…

And we have kind of a complicated history, bit I really like him. I used to be BFFs with this girl on his street (it’s a dead end so everyone knows everyone) and so that’s how I met him (when I was in 1st grade). As we grew up, we all got to know each other better and better, but we never really got to the point to be classified as ‘buddies’. Our moms and younger siblings are though, and they talk all the time and we even invite them on vacation with us sometimes, but him and I never really ‘hung out’ (we still talked sometimes though). Then in 7th grade, I developed a crush on him, but things were already complicated. He liked my friend (his neighbor), then visa versa, but things between them never worked out. We drifted apart for a while, without really talking much as we entered high school (we were never in many classes together) until Junior year. He was in my history class with a few of my other friends, and we kinda formed this ‘friend group’ where we would all work together on projects and class work (when the teacher said we could). It was great, but it was obvious that he liked this one girl in our group, and that she liked him back. So instead of watching them fawn over each other while I get more and more jealous (he was too good for her, she was kind of self-centered), I set them up last May and tried to put an end to my suuuuuper-long crush (No luck). That was that, I thought, but they just broke up last month (no surprise), so now my interest is peaking again. I’m just looking for some advice on how to act towards him to maybe get him to notice me and possibly become interested in me, because I really like him, but don’t know how he feels…sometimes I think he likes me, but other times I don’t. He’s a Sagittarius, so it makes sense that he keeps his feelings (and most other things) to himself, but I just don’t know what to do.

He’s funny and has basically all the things I’m looking for in a guy, PLUS we have sooo much in common. I’d love to get closer to him before making a move, but I just get so nervous and I start acting all weird around him and it’s so awkward and embarrassing for me. >.< Can anyone help me?

I know this is a cliche answer, but just be yourself! Just tell him how you feel. Whether it's a note like: do you like me? check yes or no. or just telling him in person.

Okay, literally don't act all giddy, and shy, and awkward.. Guys hate that. The only thing to really do around him is truly be yourself, make yourself stand out to him, don't try to be someone you're not, have a heart to heart with him, and ask him little things. You truly need to hangout more often, and text every other day or so, if he sees you're trying to put in effort he may get the hint that you have a thing for him. STOP setting him up with other girls, that's sending his mind in a direction that you don't like him whatsoever. Best of luck :)

Okay, so you already know you have a lot in common. Good. Strike up a conversation about something that interests both of you, and make sure it's something you know quite a bit about! For example, before I was dating my boyfriend, I knew we both liked Doctor Who. So after a new episode aired, I discussed it with him. He thought I was cool and ended up asking for my number. (He was being friendly, but he figured out I liked him when I blushed and got kinda flustered. So a little awkwardness is okay, since it can save you the trouble of stating your feelings outright. >u<)
It's okay to be nervous! As you get to know each other, you'll gradually become more and more comfortable. Be his friend, but flirt a bit at the same time. That way he'll know you're interested, but he'll also know that he can be himself with you.
