Hi all,

I'll try to say the background info of my story bery briefly.

Back in high school (10 years ago), me and this guy liked each other, but we never had the chance to do anything about it.

Earlier this year, we've met, after 10 yrs (he lives half way across the world). We decided to meet up for drinks, which he changed to a dinner. Needless to say that it started out a bit awkward. With a hindsight, I know I could have handled it better. To add more to this (and i'm not making any excuses) he came during the worse 2 weeks I have had in years (the problems are irrelevent to the story).

He traveled back home and now we chat online, every once and a while. From the way things were left earlier this year, and throughout the few chats, I have the feeling that he might want to give this a try as well (please take this with a grain of salt since my expectations definitely have a role in this). Regardless, he would do things that show he cares. For instance, he hates reading and hasn't read in years. But he asked me to send him a couple of the short stories I wrote. He read them and sent me feedback.

Anyway, so the point is that I feel like I have some unfinished business I need to finish. I don't even know how I feel about him, since I haven't seen him in 10 years. He's coming here in a month, and I want to finish this once and for all. I don't know, maybe talk about, kiss him, do something!!! I hate this feeling, that something needs to be done!!

So, the advice I'm looking for is what can I do during our chatting sessions that would build up to us seeing each other. Also, keep in mind that he's not the chatty type online (it doesn't get easier) and he always needs the conversation to be started for him. He does occasionally begin the chat himself.

Any help, or any new perspective on this situation, would be appreciated.
If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Thanks a lot gents

Sorry for the confusion. I meant that March 2012 was the first time I had seen him in 10 years. And I don't know what I feel because I hadn't seen him during the 10 years, prior to 2012. Last time I saw him was in 2002.
Sorry again.

I like the idea of the tattoo, especially since I have been toying with the idea of getting one myself. So it's not far fetched. But I can only do this when I see him face to face, or should I do it during our chat sessions?

Thanks
