I think I like him and I don't know what to do?

[LunarEclipse626]

I met this guy through one off my friends. I've known him for two, going on three, months. The first time we met was at a party but we didn't really talk. The second time we met was when we went on a group vacation for my friends birthday, but we didn't really talk a lot. It was the third time we talked when my friend invited me to another party. I'm a bit of an oddball so being at a party isn't my idea of fun but I went because my friend really wanted me to. I am hanging out with my friends mostly but, at one point, we are both talking to him. I am pretty straightforward in the sense that I tell people about some of my weird obsessions, such as how I'm obsessed with anime. I don't believe in hiding who you really are. After talking with him longer I find out we have a lot of things in common and he asks for my number. Thinking nothing of it, I give it to him. The next day he friend requested and messaged me on Facebook. We messaged each other for a while and, the next week, we had another group hang out. I was mostly talking to my friend but I did talk to him some. The week after he asked me if I wanted to have lunch and I said yes. We ate, talked, and I had a fun time. The week after that there was another group hang out and I mostly talked to him. He asked if I wanted to hang out the next day and I said yes. We hung out at his house and watched a movie. After our first hang out instead of messaging we started texting.
My friend thinks that this whole thing is cute and has been telling me that he's interested in me. All my friends I've told this to say the same. And this is where my problem lies. I don't really believe my friends when they say he's interested, I think he's just being nice or wants to be friends. Also, I think I'm starting to develop feelings for him and I don't know what to do. I think it's because they say he's interested that I'm starting to like him more. I notice I get really happy when he texts me and I sometimes feel butterflies in my stomach. I've been happy and single my whole life, the most I've had were crushes. Every crush I've had ended up the same: I come to the realization that they're not going to like me back or that they have/ will get someone better. I become sad and depressed for a long time and I don't want to be like that again. I also don't think I'm relationship material. I feel like people see me as a friend and nothing more. It's not that I don't want to like him, I think I'm scared to. Could it be because I've never been in a relationship? Or something else? I'm sorry if this seems like a lot but if someone can help me I'd appreciate it.

Hi dear. Relationships are really all about taking risks, there is never an assurance in anything. I think you are scared because you don't want to be hurt in the end. Why fear of something that haven't even started yet? And besides, all people experienced heartbreaks and you will experience that unless you choose to be single forever but that life would be one hell miserable. Anybody who wants to enter in a relationship should also accept the fact that they are entering into a possibility of heartaches and pains. Pain is a part of life and its not a bad thing for once you experience that, it just goes to show that you have loved. Even if you have been into a relationship and never really loved your partner, you will never truly be hurt. The person who can inflict pain to you are only those persons that are important to you so once you can experience pain, it's a blessing. Not all people had the opportunity to love and be loved and if you have that, you should be thankful and accept whatever consequences that goes with it.

You sound really insecure about yourself! Be confident! People have their reasons for liking you and if your friends think he likes you then he probably does so go for it! Start being flirty and then maybe you could date!

Just go watch Sasuke Shippuden with him, it'll be fine.

It seems to me that he does in fact like you a bit more than other girls and it is clear that you do get along very well. I think you should just continue to spend time together and whatever happens, happens. You also need to let yourself be liked by someone else, and at first it is a scary thought. I am 16, have had 3 boyfriends before but I am still scared of opening up to some guys in the thought they wont like me. But he seems interested in you so you should continue to be cute
