16/f
So I like this guy. He's two years older than me. I'm a junior he graduated high school and will leave for college in a few months. We're pretty much best friends and pretty close. I usually see him about twice a week and I'm also best friends with his sister so I'm around him alot. He's into me also but we both know nothing could happen because of the age difference. I mean I know age is just a number but he's leaving so it's kinda a problem. So yeah, we have each others numbers and text every once in awhile and facebook. He starts the conversations most of the time. I do every once in awhile.
The thing is, I try to play it cool. He doesn't know I like him but I'm pretty sure he could tell I'm into him. He tells me I'm pretty, cute, good looking, ect alot and tries to boost my self esteem so he's a good friend and he's into me.
Well what I'm saying is I don't want to come off as clingy and all that. I want him to want to talk to me. I always want to talk to him, obviously, cause I like him, I mean I get he's not gonna be totally obsessive over me I just want to be somebody he wants to talk to, you know? So what are some things I can do and what I shouldn't do?
Also when are good times to talk to him and things to say? This guy is pretty protective over me, like a brother, so he always wants to know who I like and he talks about my ex alot. So that usually comes up in our convos. Sometimes he says he's jealous but you know. I just don't always want to talk to him whenever he's online. I want to know good times and you know like every other day or so?
Sorry this was long and maybe kinda confusing..but thanks!

Juxtapose answered Tuesday September 14 2010, 12:03 am: I guess it is needless to say you like him more than you can admit to yourself. And I get that you want him to like you more too. As friends, you can always talk to him through facebook and texts even if he's gone off to college. But beyond that nobody knows but time. People give too much importance of knowing what to say or not. You said you like him, then what you are doing is perfect. You are being his friend. It might turn out that he would like you more than just a friend but until he admits it to you, the best thing you can do is be there for him and show him that you have his best interests at heart. I've noticed as I have grown older, being true is the most important thing. There are times that honesty will bring you heartache. So what if it does? If the person you showed your true feelings did not know how to appreciate it, then maybe that person is not worthy of you. My best advice to you is continue being his friend. Kindness goes a long way. Be careful and take care of yourself too. Do not forget that just because you are nice to him, it does not give him right to take advantage of you. Best of luck to you.
