I am 17 and two years ago I met a boy I have ever since thought of as cute through our parents, who are good friends. He goes to college and I'm finishing high school early, and ever since we've met each other there has always been a sort of interest in the other... I am unable to define it, but I can illustrate it with examples:
When we first met, he would ask me all sorts of questions about myself, and it was clear he found me funny;
we like the same music, and my heart always starts beating really loudly when I see him at a show;
I had a boyfriend for a while and during that time he kept quiet, but now he is starting to say hello on Facebook to me again;
when we're at a party, I always notice him looking at me then looking away, especially when he is with his friends;
when we talk, even though we both need to go, I notice from his body language that his feet are always pointed in my direction, indicating he doesn't want to leave (and neither do I).
He is 22 and really intelligent; what's annoying though is not being able to 'scratch the surface', because our conversations are always lacking depth. The thought of having a sexual relationship seems unfathomable, too. But I want to get to know him more, because it feels like some sort of internal obligation...Even just as friends. What can I do?
