Hi. I am a sixteen year old female from the midwest area of the U.S.A. For about a year now, I have liked this guy that is the same age as me. He knows that I like him, and he has told me that he likes me the same way quite a while ago. At his birthday after everyone had left except for me and another friend of ours, we were watching a movie, and by the end of it we were sitting next to each other and holding hands, though we are not dating.
Just today, he told me that he wanted to talk about where our relationship is going and that he is not ready for anything else yet and just wants to be friends. I was happy, though bummed, and I wasn't sure about dating either. I was very happy that he was mature about the situation. About two years ago, I had dated and made a " mistake" with my partner at the time, and ever since I have not dated, so I have felt the same way too. Now, I am afraid that he said those words because his feelings have changed. If they have, I will learn to deal with it and move on, but I really want to know because I have very strong feelings for him. Should I ask him, and if so, how?

Good luck [ 0xymoron's advice column | Ask 0xymoron A Question ]
