Q: Alright, so I'm pretty good friends with this dude. We have a lot of the same interests, yet lots of differences, of course. lol, it seems we share some of the same problems, too. But, anyways, I really like him as more than a friend, yet he ticks me off endlessly. He can even be a jerk sometimes, but I can, too. Yet, for some reason, I still like him.
He asked me if I wanted to hook up with him a few weeks back, but nothing has really happened, and he said to keep it on the lowdown. But what really ticks me off is how he has all of these pet names for his other friends that are girls and treats them, well, like a guy would treat a girl, I guess. (flirting and whatnot) and yeah, I get jealous sometimes, but I don't say anything, of course.
What I'm trying to say is that I don't want him to view me as just a friend. I don't want to be by his side just to talk about music, books, the problems within the world and whatnot, and I don't like it when he randomly brings up other girls in a conversation we're having and calls them by their pet name.
What should I do?
