First off, I think you are putting too much emphasis on time. You could be with someone for 11 months or 11 years and know them equally. The best way to get closer to someone is obviously through talking. The easiest way to approach this is by doing something you both enjoy or try something new to both of you. This way, there will be plenty to talk about. If you start talking about a topic that is more general and less personal, it is usually easier to then slide into a more serious or personal one. Also, if you love him and he loves you then he will want to hear what you have to say and learn more about you. You just need to relax and not put so much pressure on yourself. You are looking for that comfort level that all couples want...but it develops gradually. In the meantime, have fun and you'll see that it will get easier to open up.

i would say 'see ya later' and go on with my life. i know it must be hard since you have liked him since the 5th grade but if he doesn't want a girlfriend at this moment, don't wait for something that may never come.\n\njust go on with your life and don't be afraid to meet other guys. you never know, you might meet someone who wants to be with you?

Open up to him and talk to him.

I'm 42, going on 43. I can honestly tell you, it could take \nany thing from 4 months to 1 year. It's possible the guy is shy or feels too busy, depending on time and location you see him. Try to get to him by expressing yourself to him, and or by expressing your self to someone close to him (perhaps his mother?).

You are 12... don't grow up too fast. Relationships this early aren't too good because you could get into it and then he could go and break your heart. Love being young because you won't be that young much longer. I agree, be friends love him for who he is not what he looks like. Break it to him if you want to. I think he will understand if you explain that you have liked him for 5 years not just recently because of his looks. That will get you in for sure if you say you thought he was funny and kind and whatever!\n\n\nGood Luck!

The best thing to do is simply face him in person and tell him that you're no longer interested in him and that for the both of your interests to move on to big and better things in life.  Hope this helps you out and may this be a good learning experience for you.  Ciao bella!!!

You should talk to him first about anything thats on your mind than tell him that you really like him and you have been liking him for a while now and that you would really like to go out with him so yall can get to know each other alot better and than maybe yall friendship can go farther into a relationship.

Casually call him up...say "Hey it's been forever, I miss ya, lets get together and do something" Get him out and talking and casually bring up what the other friend asked you. Get the conversation going and see how it leads. Best of luck.

Tell him that you're interested in going out for a drink and getting to know him on a more personal level. See how he reacts. Talk about your old relationships and see how he reacts to that as well. You should be able to tell if he's feeling you. If it seems like he's shying away from the topic, it's best just to come out and tell him you have feelings for him. A lot of beating around the bush just leads to confusion. If you're straightforward with him you'll get an honest reaction. \nIt's hard to talk about these things with people we've befriended first. There is always a chance that unearthing your feelings might drive him away.. but it's much better to take the chance and get it out in the open. Make sure you think it through first. If this is the sort of fellow you can see yourself with in a forever sort of way.. and not just a skin-deep level.. then you know what you have to do. I know it sounds cliche'.. but follow your heart. You'll know what's best for you.

I hate to say this but......................................\nyou can't. It's all in a matter of time. \n\nI've answered another one of your questions. I'm still not over that guy that I've liked for 4 years. \n\nYou can't change over night. It's gonna take awhile. \n\nHope this helps.

Go and talk to him...tell him how you feel

Sounds like a real love "crush" and the only way to know if its the real thing is to get to know the guy.  You know more about his details then all of us do, so start using what you know to be around him and then strike up a polite conversation.  Smile, dress nicely, you know--flirt a little.  See how he reacts.  Sometimes these things need time and effort, so don't be hasty.  My husband took a whole year before telling me how much he liked me and now we've been happily married for 16 years.  Good luck and remember to take long, slow deep breaths whenever you feel like you're gonna pass out, OK?  :)

Maybe you can talk about what he likes or what you like. You can talk about how you changed if you changed in the past years. You cna talk about your past.
