Alrighty.... so last year, I met this guy. Let's call him...... Jack. (not his real name... obviously) "Jack" and I are in marching band together, and we would always sit with each other at the football games our band had to perform at. But, as the summer came and went, I lost contact with him. That first day of school finally came, after what had seemed like forever.

Now, when I try to talk to "Jack", it is 50 times more awkward than it used to be. I soon discovered that he had gotten himself a girlfriend over the summer, and that their relationship was on hiatus.

I overheard him a few days later talking about this girl, and that their relationship was over for sure. She hadn't answered his texts, called him, or answered his voicemails for the past two weeks, apperantly, and when he went to ask her WHY she refused to contact him, she simply blew up at him and said "Well, pardon me for having a LIFE. My world doesnt revolve around YOU."

Much to my delight, they now hated the fact that they had ever gone out in the first place. "Jack" is now single, but I can't get over this awkwardness between us. Any advice?

I know that there still might be a good possiblilty of him being interested in me, because I catch him staring at me from across the room every so often.

(omg. his eyes are GORGEOUS, might I add. big brown eyes. x) makes me loopey inside.)

Please post tips. I know we would be good to each other if he only gave me a chance.
