MummuM answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 9:38 am: I think that he may be crushing on you, too. If his friend is telling you he has feelings for you than he probably does. I mean, you do have some clues here. He's always talking to you. When he drops you off, he calls you to see if you're okay. When you're on the computer, you talk all the time. But while in person, he tends to be a little shy. When guys are shy, they're usually crushing on that person they're shy with. He does seem like a shy person, so I think you should take the first step and tell him you're crushing on him. You'll never know how he feels until you tell him how you feel about him. So just explain how you feel about him, than take it from there and see where it goes.
Also, there's nothing to worry about with the age difference. There's loads of couples out there that are different in age. You guys are only 2 years apart, that's not a big deal at all. My boyfriend and I are 4 years apart and no one seems to care. Age doesn't matter, though. If you like him, you like him. You can't help what your heart feels.

Mr_Skittles answered Monday November 6 2006, 6:56 pm: Yeah, he does like you. Don't worry about looking 'obsessed' over him, from the signs he's already given you he seems to be having that problem right now anyway. [ Mr_Skittles's advice column | Ask Mr_Skittles A Question ]
Erronius answered Monday November 6 2006, 2:45 am: I'm not sure why you, or he, should feel bad...there isnt all that large of a difference in your ages. Trust me, a 2-3 year age difference is TINY when you get older. And IMO if he has anything to worry about, its that your 17...but then again I dont know the law where you live. At worst, you can date and keep it PG-13 until you turn 18 /shrug.
I'd say go for it, dont obsess but be open to the possibilty at least. IMO I would try to avoid going out too often or coming on too strong, maybe date once or twice a week tops. And you might let him make the next move, which seems like that might happen soonish since it seems he likes you. Really though, I'd suggest treating him like any other guy, and being just as careful. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]
