I wish more than anything to tell him, but I’m afraid to.

Two years ago, I met a kid on the bus who used to sit next to me every day and talk to me during a time I was anxious and depressed. He used to talk to me, and I wouldn’t respond much because I was afraid of what his intentions were/ didn’t want my feelings to be hurt if he wasn’t being sincere. On the last day before I moved, on my last ride home on the bus, I finally found out he was trying to be nice to me but it was too late to make friends. But, while taking a walk around the neighborhood once I got home, he saw me out a window in his house and came running up to me to say hi and talked for me a little bit while we walked down the street. Then, we went our seperate ways and didn’t real see each other/ talk to each other for a year and a half.

After about two years, we ended up in the same biology class by chance and now I see him every day. I wish more than anything to tell him how much it meant to me when he came running up to me and talked with me, and all the times he talked to me on the bus, but I’m afraid it’s unnessecary and I don’t know what he’d think/ how’d he’d react. I have this burning desire to thank him and for him to see how much it meant to me, but I have a hard time finding a way to show my gratitude without coming across as awkward or weird to him. But even more than that, I just want us to be friends; we’re pretty different people but what he did for me meant so much I don’t even care.

How can I show him how much it means to me, without being excessive or weird? Or even better, what is a way I can find out the reason WHY he wanted to talk to me based off his response, given I ask him why he wanted to talk to me/ why he acted nice to me? How should I interpret his response?

my situation is kind of like yours but my was short time of period. My bf broke up with me and things are hard for me. I was unhappy and the guy don’t know why I am sad but he’s alway trying to make me smile. he talked to me even though I don’t really know him. I have the same thought as you. One day, I called him and ask him all those questions from my mind. If he’s scared by my question and dont ‘want to be friends with me, i will understand as long as I ask him and found out the reason. AFter I asked him, he tell me his reason and we become friends. Life is like gambling, you got to take risk. hope this will help. cheer up and stay happy!! ^_^
