Does he like me? He's 22, I'm 17

okay so I met this guy at medical camp. first thing you should know is that he's 5 years older than me! I'm 17 and he;s 22. okay I know you might be thinking "shes super young and has no idea" I act a little older than I am. I've always been the cousin who hangs out with adults instead of the kids lol. anyways I'm very picky with guys and I don't "like" easily at all! it takes a lot for me to be interested in a guy. I've only ever had one real boyfriend. and to be completely truthful, I'm told often that I'm good looking. I'm petite with long dark brown hair and big almost black eyes. anyways so he came in to do a presentation on the paramedic field. I noticed him right away. he was cute, nicely built and so outgoing! he was friendly with everyone and was joking the entire time. through the day, while he was there he would playfully tease me and say mildly mean things in a joking manner and of course I'd fire right back! when he had to leave he suggested to everyone there to take CPR classes and maybe join a First Aid Services team as a Volunteer. so i, of course, signed up for both! he taught me and some other fellow med camp students CPR for two days. during those two days we continued our flirty? joking? kinda way of talking to each other. throughout the two days, the whole class would go out to lunch. we walked to the diner and me and Mr.Paramedic always walked next to each other on the sidewalk and sat face to face at the table. we'd talk jokingly and seriously! he;d tell me stories and I'd do the same. I felt very comfortable with him and I had a blast. after the courses I continued talking to him via Facebook messages. After a couple months our messages kept getting longer and longer. we;d talk about everything! expect each other. like how we feel about each other in a "couples" sense. he'd tell me things like how he thinks I'm so funny and I always bring a smile to his face, with my messages. he thinks that its amazing how I'm very family orientated and he likes that alot. stuff like that. and I acted in a similar manner. he eventually asked me for my cell number and we started occasionally texting. I've only seen him once since the summer and that was at a First Aid Services Team meeting. he offered to drive me home that night and I accepted. he didn't seem nervous along the way and we were constantly talking. he also temporarily lives in a town that's about four hours away from me so that's, I hope, mainly the reason why I never see him.

now this might seem clingy but I'm being honest. we mostly talk via Facebook. I noticed lately he's been very busy and it takes him longer and longer to answer my last message. by looking at his wall I'd know that he was online recently but still didn't respond...

i don't know. I've never thought about one guy this much so I know IM serious about this guy, I just want to hang out with him more. anyways tell me what you think! does this guy like me? or is he just being nic?e

I think he definitely likes you. It sounds like you guys have a good connection and enjoyed each others company, but it could be the distance situation that's holding him back from really pursuing anything. I think that (sadly) it's also possible that he may have found someone close by and he's been hanging out with her lately

Thanks for answering!

i hope that's not the case

I agree

I think he'd be missing out, you seem pretty cool and you guys had good chemistry!

This is an interesting read. I think he likes you. As long as you wait until your 18 to sleep together if you plan on it I think you'll work out well despite distance :)
