Search Results: pride gets the best of you

Trying my best to keep this as short as possible, so please, forgive me if this is too long. Anyway, here is the problem I've been having for like one year and a half now. So there is this boy who transfered to our class during 9th grade, we became good friends and frankly, I never believed I would end up having a crush on him. Anyway, so our classmates practically know that I have a crush on him and so does he., because of the way we both act so throughout the months his gotten.. distant. He would rarely talk to me, we wouldn't tease each other on things and give jokes. We are now in the 10th grade and now, I would notice he would always stare at me and when I notice he would turn away, I approached him in our class to start a conversation with him but he just said that I wasn't suppose to be next to him because our classmates would tease about us being a 'couple' The thing about it that I find really strange is that he can touch me, like on my arm, like for example I have this scar that is permanently there cause of him. Tease me, stare at me and sometimes talk to me but when I talk to him sometimes, he would ignore me, he doesn't want me touching him as well. I honestly and frankly do not know if he likes me and doesn't want our classmates to find out or it's a just teenage boy pride or his just nervous in certain situations. To me, he isn't shy, just always quiet sometimes and other times his loud, goofy and silly not to mention what really confuses me is that, there are times, he doesn't like when our names are being mentioned together in terms of relationships and sometimes he is like okay with it and just smiles and laughs. Help! Any advice?

Okay so I've had a thing for this guy since 6th grade And I'm now a junior in high school. I think I'm in love with him but I just don't know how he feels the things he do make me feel like he could like me or he could just want to have sex. Oh he is my best friends brother by the way but she doesn't care. Anyways from 6-8 th grade everything was pretty basic. 2 kids who flirted with each other and Obviously the girl (I) had a crush on the boy but you didn't know of he exactly had a crush on her back. At one point everyone in school said he liked me in like 7th grade but hey we were young so i didn't take it seriously. 8th grade we got closer and stuff but not like boyfriend girlfriend. Like "Best friends" you get that like how boys and girls say best friends for people they like. But yeah summer going into freshman year we attempted to have sex didn't work out but things were still the same he would flirt with me and things and every one would always tell us how cute a couple wr would be. I moved away and we didn't talk just acknowledged each other on social media. I went to stay with my bff for the summer and things were like how they were before we moved we would flirt and laugh and play fight and things and we attempted to have sex again it didn't work out but our relationship remained the same. I would leave and we would acknowledge education other kn social media until we seen each other again. I know why don't I just text him it's because I have to much pride to let him know how I feel. But recently over this summer I went back and everything was the same except we had like a stronger connection even though we hadn't seen each other for almost a year and then his parents would say stuff to us about how we flirt all the time and they thought we would get married but we would just smile and look away. Even though we didn't try to have sex this time we did other things and I just felt like we had a connection we each other I know this is a lot lmao but I was wondering if you guys could tell me anything based off of that information. ( you probably can't because I just literally wrote down everything that came to my mind about me him lol)
