Ok so me and this guy had feelings for each other but we were to nervous to tell one another because we didnt know how the other one felt. So he would mess with other girls, and i would talk to other guys (this was before i was sexually active). He even slept with the hoe of the neighborhood. Years pass by and we still hit an miss with our feelings. I ended up being in a relationship around the time he really wanted to be with me, but he ended up moving on and now he has 3 kids and a girlfriend. Anyway my question is, Back when we had strong feelings for each other his friends told me he was always talking about me and looking at me and looking for me. He thought i was beautiful, sexy, funny, cute, etc. They said he really wanted to have sex with me and i wanted to have sex with him as well but we never did it. An when opportunities came we let them pass. It was like we were both nervous. But as i got older i tried to give hints that i wanted him sexually. It was like he wanted it,but he would push me away. I always wondered why he never had sex with me or tried to make a move but he did it with other girls. An the way his friends said he talked about me was like he had deep feelings for me and wanted me sexually. Why didnt he make a move? Or allow us to do it?
