It's pretty much the story of my life, and the very few times I force myself to say something I screwed it up real bad. I'm so used to it now I'm not sure if hate isn't too strong a word.

WHY is there nothing you can do about it?
The person is too far away?
The person is already spoken for?
You're unable to get past your fear and tell him/her?
Unless the person is married, I don't see where the harm (or impossibility) is of telling that person you find them attractive. It may kill the dream if they don't reciprocate, but you won't be wasting your life pining away either.

As far as I'm concerned, distance is no reason not to share your affection for someone.
If that person is married or in a steady, serious relationship, that information might be unwelcome.
What would be the harm in emailing (or better, writing) a nice letter and sharing that for whatever reasons you might have, you like them and think they're special - and wish they lived closer. Seems harmless and would be welcomed by most people, especially if they're a bit lonely too.

Love conquers all. What would it hurt to tell them how you feel? The worst would be if they said they only wanted to be friends. And if they said they wanted more..............................
