Blast from the past...

Hi, well here's the thing. In primary school, I was friends with this boy called Daniel but he was in the year above me. We were still in the same class though and we still went to art club together + we used to always mess about, flicking paint at each other and that. We got on quite well and if always used to think I was 'cool' lol ! But because he was a year old older than me, he left our school to go to secondary school a year earlier than me so we never talked for about a year until I went off to secondary school . When I got there, we said 'Hi' to each other when we see each other and that and he helped me out on my first few weeks at a new school. But after that, we didn't speak. That was nearly 3 years ago. We're friends and that on MSN and Facebook (and we comment on each other's statuses LOADS), and I was just thinking before about the part and that and I realised I like him. But I need to get talking to him first before anything can happen and it's really hard to do coz I'm frightened that he's gonna think "Whoa, we haven't spoke for ages and now she's decided to spring up out of nowhere!" But I really want to make this work! What should I do?

Awhh, that's a bit cute
My best advice i could give would be to slowly start getting to know him again, start small conversations on msn or something, you'll have to work your way up. Talk to him about a memory you's had when you's were younger at school, and maybe tell him you miss those times. But enjoy it because getting to know someone more is one of the best feelings
Sorry if i didn't help much!

I agree with the other answer about starting slowly... he may be wanting to get to know you better, too, and doesn't know how to do that. It should be pretty easy to read the signs if he's interested in a relationship beyond friendship or not. And good luck!

Mayling has given great advice.. start with a little bit more than basic status comments.. and work your way up...

I'm curious to hear how it's gone. I'm with the others: a slow start.

Starting slow is the best option. You do not want to scare him off. That might be scary for him. Just go slow and it can work for you.
