Good luck!
i will, but the thing is i've been in love with the same person for well over a year now, but telling him i like/have developed feelings of love for him might scare him because i haven't seen him in a few months, but when we do see eachother things are amazing.

Ahh.. let me give you a few words of advice from someone who's been there before in your same position. I once loved someone that much, was head over heels. We were amazing together but alas, he had another life and no matter what I did, that didn't change much. (long story there) but the point being, we had our own on / off again relationship for years many moons ago.
When I finally couldn't keep my feelings bottled up anymore, I did tell him of my feelings, told him how much I had grown to love him and that I had fallen in love with him and didn't ever want to be with another person as long as I lived.

You know? It never did work out. No matter my feelings, it just was not meant to be. But you know something? I don't regret telling him that I had loved him, or telling him all of the things I did because I felt better.

I would say if you're in love, you need to tell that person and if he reciprocates that love back to you then hold onto him forever and love him like no other.

If it doesn't work out, know that you experienced love, know that you had it once and know that it will happen again in your life. But don't date or try to put yourself out there when you can't and are not ready to give yourself to anyone else. it's not fair to them and it's not fair to you.

Try going out with a group of friends. That would ease the awkward silences.

At 18 years old you need to be sowing your oats instead of putting your heart into one person. In my opinion, at 18 you need to be dating girls too. Because I dont think an 18 year old has been around the block enough to really know "what they are." An 18 year old on Prozac is an entirely different thread.

you're right, and for some reason it's much easier for me to get girls than it is to get guys, sometimes i don't even try to get a girl and she's giving me her number sometimes which i find just weird. but with guys it's like a whole different process. it's extremely stressful

Then I dont understand why your friends would be uncomfortable if you went out with them. Is the guy you are heartbroken over gay or straight?
