    So, there is this guy on my course in Uni who I have had a long distance crush on for a while. A couple of days ago I just happen to sit next to him on the bus. At that point I thought to myself "this is the chance, I have to take this". Though great effort despite nearly every part of my mind wanting me stay silent, I did talk to him. And we had a good conversation on the bus journey. This was great I was very pleased with myself for plucking up the courage to do it.

    However, since then all I can think about for the past couple of days is him. It's really been distracting. Today I tried to watch porn and for the first time in my life I just gave up, for some reason I just thought "only he would do". I haven't been that hungry today, I forgot about lunch something I only usually do when I'm ill. It was weird.

    My questions are, is this a normal feeling or is there something wrong with me? But more importantly. What do I do next? How do I turn a one off conversation (which only happened by chance) into a relationship? Do I just go up to him and ask him out (I think I would actually die of embarrassment)? Or what? I don't know. I suppose I'm a very inexperienced super virgin who doesn't know what to do. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Well, I'd say the feelings you're having right now are normal. It may not feel very normal, but you have inched a few steps closer to someone who you have been admiring for some time. Is that going to distract you? For sure, I'd say.

    Now that you have broken the ice do you think you could build upon the one off conversation on the bus? I think its too early to have thoughts about a relationship, but you could certainly try to have more conversation time with him. It's only through talking that you will discover more about him, and that would seem to be the best way forward to me.
