The Scarlet Letter and Guy Trouble. Please help?

Question

My guy friend that I like is reading the Scarlet Letter. I was wondering what all it's about?

Is it good? Is it bad? Where does it start? Like does it start in "The Custom House" or "The Prison Doors"

I would like to read it so I have something to talk about with him, but since I only have an Online version, it's hard to tell where it starts.

Do you think I should read it? Cause I mainly only want to read it because he is.

Because the guy that's reading the Scarlet Letter is kinda my crush. He's cute, sings, plays guitar, and kinda sweet. When we met we barely talked. And I asked him for his e-mail, and we've only said like 1 thing to each other (Me: Hey you, whats your name? Him: Joe Me: Cool. I'm Katy) and he gave it to me.

And then I also got a photo with him. And then I got home and added him on myspace. We've only talked about once or twice. And in his first e-mail to me he used three smiles in only 5 sentences. And then 1 smile in 1 sentence. I don't know if that means something or not.

But anyway. I won't see him until Sept. 18th and 19th. He hasn't really talked to me since adding me on myspace though.

Should I try e-mailing him again? What should I say if I do e-mail him? And when I see him in person, we'll be going to fun spot. I want to tell him how I feel, but don't want to do that unless we talk more between now and then. How do I find out if he likes me without asking him? My friend said she'd ask him on Sept. 18th if I wanted her to. Should I do that?

Any help you can give me on the 'Guy Trouble' would help me out a lot. Thanks for any help.

Have a wonderful, and blessed day. :)

Umm I've read it but can't remember the first chapter... sorry? I don't think you should read it just for his sake anyway, you can't like everything he does or you'd have nothing to talk about. Isn't there a book you like reading yourself? Can't you compare that with what he's reading instead of trying to copy him? I think that'd be a better idea, it's more fun talking about things you do that are different than things that are exactly the same. Read something else then ask to borrow 'The Scarlet Letter' off him, gives you a reason to see him again. And he will know about it and you can ask him questions as you're reading.

I think you could email him, just be casual and say sort of 'hi, how's it going? what you up to?' you know, to start a conversation. Find out his interests and ask what he's been doing lately, tell him yours, etc. I wouldn't say your feelings until you know him a bit better. Your friend could ask him what he thinks about you in a caring friend sort of way, without letting him know what you think of him. Just be very careful you don't scare him away with that.

Good luck.
