A 17 year old guy likes a 15 year old girl?

[dawn]

Like the title says. I'm a 15 year old girl, and Im pretty certain this 17 year old guy likes me.

How this came to be was, a group of my friend got together and exchanged skype usernames and then on saturday night whatever skype username we got we'd call and talk to.

I got this guy who is a friend of my best friend. Before the sykpe call, I had never met him before.

He lives a state away from me, so we just keep in touch through facebook.

Anyway, when we first connected he was like "Wow you're cute!"

And I'm aware I have to watch out for those types of guys who just want to 'tap that' and run.

It's kind of odd because, he's very open about telling me things he likes about me.

One night on facebook, he randomly messaged me saying "Is it weird that I'm picturing kissing you right now?" is this his way of flirting, or trying to get me to like him more just so someday we can meet up, and he can mess around with me?

I find it hard for someone who is 17 to enjoy a 15 year old's company via sykpe & text so I'm a tad suspicious if he's just playing around with my feelings. Is the age gap too much?
ALSO I should probably add that whenever we text he calls me things like "cutie" and when I say regular things he says "you're making me blush" and stuff. Kind of odd how open he is about such things.
I'm just wondering WHY he's being so open about his feelings. It kind of creeping me out. IS THIS NORMAL FOR A 17 YEAR OLD BOY TO ACT LIKE THIS???
I think I should also note, last night he said if we lived in the same town he would totally want to "cuddle with me right now".... what? XD

Hm, that's kind of sketchy. i'm 17 and I know how boys at my age think. If you like this guy, don't rush it, and if he really liked you, he wouldn't either. Get to know each other and see what his intentions are with you, if he wants something real or just to mess around.

move on. your 15 and he lives in a different state, cut him out and move on.

15 and 17 isnt that different. Honestly that picture kissing thing is weird, but it sounds like he really likes you. If has pressured you into sexts or sending nudes then you can worry about him trying to "tap that" but from what youve said it seems like he likes you. PS. if he does one day ask you for nudes and tries sext you he's probably Horny. Unless hes pressuring you dont worry

Well, it's illegal. You are still a minor and he's already past the 'age of consent' and legal for sex. You have to be 16 or 17 to date him depending on the 'age of consent law' where you live. Otherwise, he can get in trouble for even just kisisng and hugging you let alone doing any sexual acts on you.

The age gap isn't that big. My fiance is 9 years older than I am and it works. It just depends on the people. It definitely sounds like he likes you and is flirting. Not ALL guys just want to have sex, some really want to get to know you. My question is: why try to mess with a 15 year old girl a state away when he can find someone to have sex with much closer? So maybe he genuinely likes you. Perhaps you are on the same level of maturity. Have you found it fun to talk to him? Have you had enough to talk about? I would be a little suspicious too, but just get to know him. You seem intuitive enough that you will know if something is wrong. Just have fun for now. And if you ever feel uncomfortable, cut it off. And let some friends know you are talking to him so that you have some people in your corner. Annnd don't send him nude pictures. Just be cautious and use your smarts. Good luck, love!

He sounds like nothing but a horn dog , trying to see what he can get from you. He thinks if he opens up, so will you, don't fall for it..
