good luck & im here to talk if needed!

Personally, I'm not sure if this guy is right for you. He might seem flirtatious and everything, but if he's like that to everyone, then he's obviously just a player that just happened to think you're a little cuter than the rest. Don't get your heart broken over guys like that, just saying for future possibilities.
I really don't think he's worth your time. This guy didn't even ask you out yet, so I'm not sure why you're really worrying. It's not like you're in a situation where this guy asked you out.
If you're really THAT crazy for him, then I suggest you go for this guy, because I don't know how you feel, and it's wrong for me to go, "Seriously, back away from him because I don't like him so you shouldn't either." It's your life. Start flirting with this guy if you like him that much, but if you get hurt because of this guy, remember that you're a better person and he's the one who's missing out on something good, okay? =)
If he asks you out, ask for advice on how to deal with family, okay?

he'll get the message that you like him- and if he says yes it will be a good opportunity for him to see if he likes you romantically too.
(i was in the same situation with my current bf- hadn't seen the guy in 6 months but i just randomly called him to ask him out and he said yes) :D
anyway- good luck and tell me how this all works out!!!!! (seriously i want to know) [ EriksBallerina's advice column | Ask EriksBallerina A Question ]
