What if I said yes.

you are right but then you stil have to think about it ,,,there is lot of difference in love and affection so till you guys figure it out i think you should be a best friend to him......at this age many decisions fails ..so people alwyas seek for the people who are better went through this ...i think a senior person or parents can get you to the better decision....love is not the heart play only ....rather than love there practicality in the world which is more important for less complications........as i feel......cheers

We often wonder in life what things would have been like if we had said or did something differently in the past . You still have the option of seeing how things would be though by trying to find him and getting to know him again . You will never know for sure what it would have been like if you had said yes as there is no way to go back in time to find out but by looking for him and getting to know him again you would be giving yourself a chance that you may have missed out on . Best of luck :)

I think tha you need to take it slow. If he does want to talk to you, you just need to be settle and be his friend. You were that one that said you just wanted to be friends. It seems like you really hurt his feelings. Guys biggest fear is to be rejected. He loved you for a long time and probably still does, he is just scaried. My best suggestion is to show that you care and maybe apologize for hurting him, only if you do mean it. Telling someone that you love them is a very difficult thing to do. Just start out friends again and if he doesn't want to be with you like in a relationship you might just have to swallow it and just enjoy his friendship. I mean having him as a friend is better than nothing at all.
