So I have a friend who I am not very close to. We see each other at events that friends hold and do talk, but we don't go out of our ways to talk to each other by texting or anything.

I have known him since senior year of high school & had a crush on him for the entire duration of that year. After graduation, the crush faded as I got into other relationships. However, he was always in the back of my mind and when it came around to seeing him occasionally, small gut-wrenching feelings came up. But I would sort of make the feelings go away, even though it's been reoccurring this whole time.

He currently lives out of state because of a job, but is guaranteeing my friends and I that he will be coming back after another year since he loves California. He is currently single & has been single.

I have been out of a relationship for about 6-7 months now, and haven't dated seriously at all since then. The feelings for him came out of nowhere a couple of days ago, but now this time, it's been consistent since I'm not making it go away.

I'm not sure if I should try to initiate anything. We have never texted/FaceBook chatted to each other conversationally ever, so wouldn't it be a bit awkward to come out of the blue & talk? However, I don't know what will happen from now until the time he comes back, and I'm eager to show him interest of some sort. I for sure want to ask him on a date when he's back in town, but I don't know if he will be back to visit temporarily any time soon.

Small reoccurring crush on a friend for 6 years (currently resides out of state) and now want to do something about those feelings, but don't know if I should through texting or FaceBook messaging since it might be awkward after all this time of not going

Have a crush on my friend for years and finally get the guts to ask him out. Don't know how to initiate anything.
