Hey,

there is this young woman i went to primary school with. I had almost forgotten about her but i had a huge crush on her in school. I found her on facebook and now i dont know what to do or say. I added her she accepted. She still is extremely cute.

Any tipps?

I dont know, i have this crush on someone, i think that i may be right for her and she is the right one for me, but i dont dare to talk to her. So love makes me suffer. This is not the way it should be right!??

Maybe this is my Nr 1 problem. I dont do what i want to because i am scared. This is so pathetic of myself.

Not pathetic. Human. Most people have felt this way at some point. You can post on her page, start a conversation about something she's interested in and see where it goes. Primary school is a long way away and you may find that you're not interested in her at all.

I'm not an expert on facebook, but you could also send her a message saying hi and saying you remember her and are glad to find her on facebook. Then you could tell her a little about what you're doing.

or you could post on her page, or on your page and maybe it will be on her page too-- I guess that depends on her settings-- but if you post a few things that you're interested in or are doing, and then contact her, it might give her an introduction to you before you contact her directly.

If you're friendly-- as in-- open to her, and not worried that she'll think you like her--- really it's better if she does-- because you have a much better chance of getting to know her if she thinks you like her-- (she's unlikely to think you have a major crush on her, unless she's a major narcissist)-- she probably will respond.

It's okay to like someone-- or to have a crush on someone-- you don't have to be ashamed of it-- or pretend not to-- if she doesn't reciprocate it probably means you two aren't that compatible and she just happens to notice it first. It doesn't feel good-- but it happens to everyone-- and more than once to many people. You'll be on good, and certainly large, company-- I promise you. And it's not so awful, after a while. It can take several tries to find someone you fit with-- but it's better to try.

(I know I"m making it sound easy, when I isn't-- but I hear that being as much of an optimist as possible gives us a better chance of getting what we want .)

You have to try not to think of yourself as damaged goods that nobody would want if they knew the true you. Otherwise you'll never have to confidence to approach anyone.

She initially seemed interested but now she doesnt answer. I wrote her yesterday morning. I have been feeling out of it ever since i approached her on facebook.

You might want to take it slow, though. You're just a blast from the past getting in touch, not a friend or loved one. Contact her one a week or couple of weeks and see if she keeps responding then.
