First off, congratulations on tackling your past issues and I wish you the best in not going back to them. Finding a new guy is a good thing and could potentially help boost your self esteem to the point where relapsing is not even a concern.

If you have yet to talk to this boy, how can you feel as if you have nothing to offer him? You have no idea what he is interested in or what he is looking for and, if things go the way I hope they do for you, it could be you! If he doesn't know that you exist it's because you still need to put yourself into his life by introducing yourself. Don't, however, come off strong and stalkerish... that little experiment could end in tears... Just say "hi" next time you see him and introduce yourself if the time is right.

Should you risk it all for a chance of love? Yes. Pain is temporary. The feeling of denial, should it happen to you, will fade over time. Love lasts longer.

Go for it.
