thats why the whole missed connections thing was created on craiglist...too many people are afraid of rejection. just do it. life is toOo short for you to be waiting on someone else to step up to the plate. just say it and get it off your chest! it might just lead to something awesome!

I always tell myself to put up or shut up.
That being said, don't come on too strong. Just say things like "I think I might have a feeling or two for you".
Plus it makes things easier to have your options open. Keep a few people around that you could also potentially be interested in. Gives you less of a backed into a corner feeling when it comes to making a step with any one of them.

Oh I'm backed in. I just don't know how to come around to saying it, finding the right moment etc.
I'm just going to end up not saying anything.

Rejection is not as bad as you think, and the more you try, the less rejection will bother you.

@community toy: well I've done the rejection thing in the past, but I am not sure if I could handle it again. Eventually I will tell him I just have to work up the courage.
In fact I was on the brink of telling him, then we were all at a party at my friends and he and I were spending the whole time together. So my other friend decides to say to us,"oh you guys have such great chemistry why aren't you dating?" To which we both answered "Oh we are just friends hahahaha."
I probably should have responded differently. I've been on a roller-coaster of emotion since we first started being friends. It's horrible, but I keep getting pulled back.

If getting rejected is that painful maybe you should hit on someone before getting that invested?
I realized it yesterday. I sent him a text that I was so sad that we never hang out and talk much in the past month, and he called me 3 times last night and we talked and we will hang out this weekend...but I'm too chicken shit to tell him how I really feel.
I guess I'm afraid that the rejection will hurt to much.
