Questions

My crush and I usually get along but he infuriates me a lot sometimes and we have fights where we won't look each other in the eye or speak more than we have to for school work. This gets everyone in our class involved in the drama, because we are usually so close and laughing at some private joke together, so they can sense when we're mad at each other.

Why does this cycle keep happening? He's said repeatedly that he wants to provoke me... to do or say what? I always feel like he's waiting for an answer when he's staring at me. He knows I'm into him, so why does he need to test me. He denies it is testing and says he's provoking me. Is there a difference? He hates it when I try to figure him out, lol.

is testing seeing if I'm interested? He shouldn't need to do that because I've told him I like him. So then is provoking trying to get me to say or do something? If so, what?

We haven't kissed yet, but he calls me sweetie, darlin , puts his arm around me to cuddle and puts his face in mine so we are almost kissing but we don't. Is he trying to get me to make the final move? I was breathing his breath practically on our bus ride Saturday but it seems like he can't do the last part to actually kiss me, besides once on the cheek.

Lately, he's added face/cheek rubbing to our hugs. Is this a way to build up to kissing? I like it when he rubs his stubbly face on mine!

Growing up, we've all had a lot of crushes. Even as adults, we continue to develop feelings of attraction towards the people we see in our daily lives. But What I want to know is, is it alright to pursue your crushes and to want to develop a deeper relationship with them?

This is personal to me because I have a crush on someone on my course at college, and growing up I've had so many just like that crush where I've not said anything and nothing has come from those crushes... I quickly realised that crushes don't last, and that it's easy to move on from people you never had a relationship with. But I'm in college and I've never dated a boy, let alone kiss one in my entire life! And I wonder if now is the time to try and make 'advances' at my crush, or at least, try to get him to notice me and one day to hopefully have a conversation... lol.
