It sounds as if he did like you, but when men are young they are very much under the influence of how they perceive how their peers see them. If he could have seen past them he would have been truly an exception.
As it seems from what you’ve written that all this took place in the past, and there is no harm in recalling him from time to time but please don’t make it a point of obsession for yourself as that would not be healthy.
If you should meet him again sometime you could mention that you harbored a crush for him while you were school in the old days but don’t count on him to chime in that he perhaps had one for you even if he did.
You need to just count the experience as just an old memory.
Best wishes and you are most welcome Glory!

Why did the Texas school board ban the childrens book Brown Bear?
Question by Don’t Tease the Panther: Why did the Texas school board ban the childrens book Brown Bear?
Confused Texas Education Board bans kids’ author from curriculum
11:04 PM CST on Sunday, January 24, 2010
What do the authors of the children’s book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and a 2008 book called Ethical Marxism: The Categorical Imperative of Liberation have in common?
Both are named Bill Martin and, for now, neither is being added to Texas schoolbooks.
In its haste to sort out the state’s social studies curriculum standards this month, the State Board of Education tossed children’s author Martin, who died in 2004, from a proposal for the third-grade section. Board member Pat Hardy, R-Weatherford, who made the motion, cited books he had written for adults that contain “very strong critiques of capitalism and the American system.”
Trouble is, the Bill Martin Jr. who wrote the Brown Bear series never wrote anything political, unless you count a book that taught kids how to say the Pledge of Allegiance, his friends said. The book on Marxism was written by Bill Martin, a philosophy professor at DePaul University in Chicago.

So why is it still banned?

Texas is trying to dumb their children down. Why not let them. Heck give em back to Mexico if they want to be third world.

You know those Scholastic book orders kids get from school?
Question by arabeesk: You know those Scholastic book orders kids get from school?
My sister (third grader) got one of those today and I looked through it with her. I was wondering if any of you have ever heard or read some of these titles, or know any kids who’ve read them?
King of the Wind ~ Marguerite Henry
The Willoughbys ~ Lois Lowry
Fairest or Princess Academy ~ Gail Carson Levine
The Invention of Hugo Cabret ~ Brian Selznick
Christmas in Camelot: Magic Treehouse ~ Mary Pope Osborn
On Christmas Eve ~ Ann M Martin
The Secret School ~ Avi
Rascal ~ Sterling North
Or how about these?
Granny Torrelli Makes Soup ~ Sharon Creech
Blueberries For Sal ~ Robert McCloskey
If You Give a Cat a Cupcake ~ Laura Numeroff
Zen Shorts and Zen Ties ~ both by Jon J Muth
Don’t Bump The Glump!: And Other Fantasies ~ Shel Silverstein
I want to get her and my younger brother (1st grade) some books (not from the Scholastic thing though) and these sounded like good ones. I’ve heard of some of the authors and titles, but I just wanted other opinions. Are these good books?
I’ve read Ella Enchanted, The Giver, Gathering Blue, and books by Sharon Creech when I was younger. Shel Silverstein too! I love Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree. So yeah, I pretty much think that the ones by them should be good, but I wondered if anyone had read/heard of the others. I’ve never heard of Zen Shorts/Zen Ties
before, but I like the illustrations. My brother likes pictures, after all!
And Kelsey ~ Somewhere in my endless tabs, bookmarks, and notes hides A Mango Shaped Space. I’ve been meaning to get it for her for a while. I think I’ll go to the library tomorrow. Yup, the library is definitely a plan.
Yeah, I like that they’re still around. Looking through them is always fun. I never had an allowance BUT I would spend my birthday and/or lunch money on books since my parents for some strange reason didn’t like for us to spend so much time reading. . .
Thanks, Blue Coral, I didn’t realize I’d had Gail Carson Levine writing Princess Academy 
Thanks guys. You’re all awesome!

You can NEVER go wrong with Shel Silverstein.
The Giving Tree 40th Anniversary Edition Book with CD
“Once there was a tree . . . and she loved a little boy.” So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.
Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk . . . and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave.
This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another’s capacity to love in return.
To say that this particular apple tree is a “giving tree” is an understatement. In Shel Silverstein’s popular tale of few words and simple line drawings, a tree starts out as a leafy playground, shade provider, and apple bearer for a rambunctious little boy. Making the boy happy makes the tree happy, but with time it becomes more challenging for the generous tree to meet his needs. When he asks for money, she suggests that he sell her apples. When he asks for a house, she offers her branches for lumber. When the boy is old, too old and sad to play in the tree, he asks the tree for a boat. She suggests that he cut her down to a stump so he can craft a boat out of her trunk. He unthinkingly does it. At this point in the story, the double-page spread shows a pathetic solitary stump, poignantly cut down to the heart the boy once carved into the tree as a child that said “M.E. + T.” “And then the tree was happy… but not really.” When there’s nothing left of her, the boy returns again as an old man, needing a quiet place to sit and rest. The stump offers up her services, and he sits on it. “And the tree was happy.” While the message of this book is unclear (Take and take and take? Give and give and give? Complete self-sacrifice is good? Complete self-sacrifice is infinitely sad?), Silverstein has perhaps deliberately left the book open to interpretation. (All ages) –Karin Snelson

Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook
Runny Babbit lent to wunch
And heard the saitress way,
“We have some lovely stabbit rew –
Our Special for today.”
From the legendary creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, and The Giving Tree comes an unforgettable new character in children’s literature.
Welcome to the world of Runny Babbit and his friends Toe Jurtle, Skertie Gunk, Rirty Dat, Dungry Hog, Snerry Jake, and many others who speak a topsy-turvy language all their own.
So if you say, “Let’s bead a rook
That’s billy as can se,”
You’re talkin’ Runny Babbit talk,
Just like mim and he.
Taken in dall smoses, this self-proclaimed “billy sook” is a fun-filled new (posthumously published) offering from children’s poet Shel Silverstein, creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and other favorites. Completed prior to the poet’s death in 1999, Runny Babbit was a work in progress for more than 20 years, and is populated by the likes of Runny Babbit, Toe Jurtle, Ploppy Sig, Polly Dorkupine, and Pilly Belican (who owns the Sharber Bop), all denizens of the green woods where letter-flipping runs rampant. In this madcap world, pea soup is sea poup, Capture the Flag is Fapture the Clag, and snow boots are bow snoots. Each poem incorporates the same kind of switcheroo wordplay found in “Runny’s Hew Nobby:” Runny Babbit knearned to lit,/ And made a swat and heater,/ And now he sadly will admit/ He bight have done it metter.” (Here, in one of many winningly simple line drawings, R. B. sits knitting one very long sleeve, which is labeled as such.) Children who have some fluency in reading will enjoy this bonsensical nook the most. (Ages 7 to 12) –Karin Snelson

Pool Safety For Children
May 26, 2010 by Marion Rose Jones
Filed under Baby Tips
- Image via Wikipedia
Owning a swimming pool in your house or garden can be a great way to have fun for yourself and indeed your whole family. However, despite that, it can also be rather dangerous if you have children about. If you have the patience, you ought to wait until your children are at least five years old or more before you put a swimming pool in your garden. On the other hand, if you already have a swimming pool, there are ways that you can protect your family.
One thing you should always remember is to never, ever, allow your children to be alone near your pool. Children tend to be attracted to water and all it takes is a second for them to fall into the swimming pool. If you and your children are at your pool side and you have to leave the area for a second, you should always take your children with you.
To be completely safe, you must always make sure that you have loads of safety equipment around your pool at all times. Safety items are essential to have around, as they could save the life of a child or anyone else who can’t swim.
You ought to invest in a shepherd’s crook as well, as you can use it to drag someone out of the water. Having a telephone at your poolside is also a good investment, since you can quickly call for help in the event of an emergency.
If you don’t already have a fence around your pool you should think about getting one right away. A fence is a useful way to keep children away from your swimming pool. If you have a protective fence up, you won’t have to worry about little children falling into it, while you are away from the pool. When you put your fence up, you ought to always make sure that it’s at least six feet high with a locking gate. In this way, no one can get into the pool without a key, which you have to keep on you at all times.
You could learn CPR as well. Even though you hopefully will not ever have to use it. It is always great to know CPR in the event of someone falling into your pool that is unable to swim. Whenever you have people you know can’t swim at your pool, you should always stay near them, so you can react instantly if they fall in. A minute can make all the difference to saving someone’s life.
Always bear in mind that swimming is fun, although you have to always think in terms of safety first. Once you have finished using your pool for the day, make sure that you lock up the poolside well – and padlock the gate tight so no one can get in too.
