Age difference
So there's this guy from work that i really like. Whenever weve work together or alongside, I've always felt that there may have been a mutual liking as well. There would be times when he would hug me randomly and multiple times throughout the day , and there was also this one time when he asked if I had a boyfriend, and when I said no, he was shocked and surprised and exclaimed "what?! Why ?.. But ur so attractive !"
The catch is is that he's six years older than I am. I'm currently 16 years old.. Turning seventeen next month and he is still 22.
I know that automatically people would say that it is illegal And that i shouldn't bother. And i understand that. But when he found out my age he was so surprised, that in a way I felt like hes distant himself. Like he doesn't hug me as much and we talk less. But today although we didn't talk much , towards the end we did and he said " hey beautiful ", kept asking when i was graduatin from high school, and when we were by ourselves he hugged me and It was the kind where he lifted me up in the air.
I know I shouldn't expect much from this and I'm not trying to get my hopes too high.. But I can't help feeling this feeling when I'm around him.
What do u think I should do?

There is nothing wrong with the age difference. My husband and I are 7 years apart. If anything though, if you were to start seeing each other, before you turn 18, be sure that your parents are alright with it, if they are not alright with it, do NOT go behind their back and see him. Just wait it out until you are 18. I doubt you want him getting into trouble. Each state is different, of course, in these laws. So perhaps look up the laws in your state to make sure that if you were to see him, etc, that everything would be alright as well. Because some states require the younger parter *if under 18* to be 16, while others 17, and some not until 18. But, if you find that you have no choice but to wait until you are 18 years of age, yes, do not put too much hope into this relationship, just in case it doesn't work out before then. Until the day you two are capable of seeing each other, there is nothing wrong with being friends.
