crush?

oatcake

Hi all!

I am a 21 year old female. I would consider myself good looking but I can't flirt!

I have been single now for over a year and have not met anyone in this time as I was getting over someone I went out with for over a year and was crazy about.

I am in my final year of college and this year a new guy has joined the class. I have a huge crush on the guy but have no idea how to go about letting him know I do. We talk almost everyday in class and the more I talk to him the more I like him. It is getting to the point where he is almost all I think about. I enjoy going into college just because I know he will be there.

My problem is:

1. I can not tell if he likes me too.
2. I do not know how to let him know I like him.
3. He is much older than me (10 years) so that makes me think he probably only see's me as a friend.
4. If I did ask him to do something outside of college, I am afraid I will get rejected and then it would be a bit awkward in class. Then again if I do nothing I will regret it and may never see him again as we finish in 3 months time.

He is lovely, smart, mature, gentle and just so so nice. I have never enjoyed a conversation with someone so much. Guys my age do not even compare to him and when I get hit on by guys my age I just can't help but think how immature they are. All they usually want is for my to go back to their place and well you know the rest. I am not that type of women!

Any advice would be very much appreciated,
Thank you
