How do I handle this?

Simply put.. you are truly confused. And you are so confused that you'll probably never be able to determine if he is the person you want to be with. And even if you do come up to a decision, I don't think, with all due respect, that the decision would be credible.

And if you run away from him, you are not exactly running away from the problem, you are actually solving it. Stupid as it may sound, that's what humans do. And there's a reason they do it. It works. There is a common saying that.. well.. adults "talk and solve their differences". but the fact is that talking has never ever solved anything.

Plus, since your age says, 'under 18'.. I'm assuming that the guy is also under 18. I don't always submit to stereotypes.. but in this case.. he would probably lie about anything to you, including the way he feels.. for well.. how do I put it.. flaunt value? You do get my point though.

Well if you talk to any of his friends and you trust that person ask them.... and if you don't talk to any of his friends then start writing notes or messages on myspace or something that's what I did and now everything is going AWESOME!
