How is it that two adults allow others to keep them away from each other?
Unnecessary dramatics then and it continues to this date.

OP, if he really wanted to date you, he would've asked you out by now.

Over the years I have seen him but many times I have struggled to make eye contact or speak to him as though he isn't there as I never knew what was true. I was only temporarily not speaking to him at the time as I needed to gather my thoughts but then it got harder for me to make the first move and speak to him.

I know he still likes me and he would love to date me. Some of his friends who I know and are not part of the trouble making walking group have told me this and I know as he recently has tried to speak to me and said hello and asked how I was and I said hi but then he had to go to a birthday party.

I just feel so much heartache as I know we would make such a great couple but I don't even know how or what to say to him.
Then just go for it. Stop wasting precious time.

Let him know, be intellectually and emotionally honest with him.

Screw the walking group.

It's fantasy. Daydreaming. Corny drama.

Find another walking group.

It makes for a good Lifetime TV movie... The Walking Club Kept Us Apart, a True Story of Walking... and Star-crossed Lovers.

You are welcome to disagree; my thought is that many of these relationship questions are very immature, but that's where the OP seems to be right now and she was hoping for some sort of resolution or closure. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Sometimes two shy people need help; further, if he doesn't follow up then she knows for sure and doesn't have to wonder. Just my opinion.
