So I saw your advice column and was hoping maybe you could help a bit, but it'll be long..
I'm 16/f
So I had broken up with my boyfriend awhile ago. He's still not over me and all that but during our relationship I liked one of my best friends. He's older, 18, just graduated high school. I guess two years isn't that big of a difference but you know, he has college and all that.
Well I like him again, alot. We would text all the time and we would pretty much tell each other everything. I'm also best friends with his sister so I'm at their house alot. He was into me, like I would never think he would like me but he always told me I was cute and would flirt with me, ect. So about a week ago we were texting till like 1:30 and we were just talking like normal and he had said he wanted to call me but I couldn't cause if my parents heard me up then I'd get in trouble lol so we kept texting and I don't remember what we had said but he said, "Oh cause you only see me as a friend?" So I said, "Well what do you see me as?" He told me he saw me as a friend but was also attracted to me. So I was confused about that one. I really didn't want to tell him that I liked him but he asked what I saw him as so I just said a friend to a little bit more than that. Then he said, "Me too. It's weird" I told him I thought it might be weird to end up liking him cause I'm best friends with his sister. She knows I like him and she doesn't mind at all. So that's not even a problem.
But he said, "So should we like each other?" I'm not quite sure what that meant but maybe he was asking if we should confirm that we like each other? I have no idea. I said, "Do you want to?" He said, "Well I'm going to college in the spring and you're a little young so idk if it'd work?" So in the end we decided we would talk the next day about it. We never did. We haven't talked at all about it. I see him about twice a week but it was just casual. I know he likes me but I guess it's his way of saying we're just gonna be friends.
But at this point I don't know what I'm supposed to do or act.
I know he's gonna go to college and I've liked him for over a year but there is some hope but I'm not going on that side cause I know it'd be harder. I just don't know what to say to him and if I should text him. If I do I don't wanna be annoying and bugging him so I'm very lost. Sorry it was long but I would love it if you could help!!
