For now, just keep the guy at a friend level. When others talk about him having an interest in you, drop some hints about how you feel about him, but don't drop too many. Say things like, "If he ever asked me out, I would go out with him."; or "I could see he and I dating someday." Don't make it seem as though you are after him. That would cause some major friendship problems.

Be careful getting your hopes set on dating this guy. Remember, the more people you tell you have an interest in him, the more hurt you'll feel if you both don't go out.

When you see a guy you like, you can let him know you are interested in him without saying a word. When you see the guy, look at him, smile, then through your heart, say "I really like you", or "You are so awesome". I can guarantee that you will have a better chance of getting a guy that you are interested in by doing that, than by telling a friend. It's called "chemical attraction" - your body releases a fragrant chemical that attracts guys to women, which works best if you talk through your heart. I don't know what research has been done on that. I just remember learning about that in Biology in college.

Good luck to you. Sorry that I drifted off on a side subject of attraction. I feel like at your age, you could benefit from it more.
