Do I Tell Him How I Feel

Should I tell him how I feel?

I've known him for 4 years, we met at church & I felt an instant connection. Everyone said they could see that we liked each other, but I moved away to another state. I moved back and saw him again, but moved once again. now I'm an adult & I think about him all the time, but I don't know if he feels the same way he did. I can picture my life with this man, but everyone says to just move on. what should I do? I'm confused & would drop everything to be with him. I've never been in love like this. please help!.

Should I just tell him how I feel?

Ok so long story short we've had a long bumpy road ever since I met him back in 2014. I've had really strong feelings for him, and sometimes I can't tell if he's just being nice or he genuinely likes me. We live in different states however we do the same activity and we have tournaments where we see each other 3-4 times a year. Anyways so the most frustrating part of this is like we talk over text and fb but then when we see each other in person we don't, like at most greet each other. And I can't exactly tell you why... it's just kinda awkward/we never have time. But the weird thing is that we have extremely intense eye contact and sometimes because we'll be in the same room sometimes. It's abnormal we just stare at each other for like minutes on end. I feel like I waited way too long to admit it, but I definitely have feelings for him and I don't think he reciprocates it anymore. I want to tell him but I get nervous and frustrated because he doesn't text me back quick enough or seems interested. He's a great kid and I really don't feel comfortable letting go like this because I never told him. He's a senior this year and I'm a year younger so he's graduating. I know nothing will come out of it given the conditions we're in, but I really miss him. I might also see him from time to time next year though. So that's been one of the major things holding me back because I'm scared if I do it will be extremely awkward and I don't want to lose him as a friend in the long run. Help!

Should I tell him how I feel before I leave?

If you make a move, all you're going to do is either make things end on a really awkward note (if he's not into you) or make you regret moving far away and kick yourself for not starting things earlier (if he is). Starting a relationship long-distance almost never works - you and your partner need to have a strong base already before you leave to make it work. Stick to a friendly goodbye - if you come back over the holidays or to visit friends, you'll see him again.

I know this is tough, but imagining "what might have been" is almost always better than reality. Good luck with the move, and there will be plenty of guys at your new school to have fun with. ;)
