Search Results: too shy to say we like each other

I would not think of saying i want him to stay bc pride and bc its his call. BUT i have very strong feelings and i sense he wants to know i care. he is saying he might go but not sure he wants to-a few months earlier he was positive he wanted to go. Sine then we have been growing closer. We always had strong attraction but i think we are really liking each other as people now.

Im sad to not get a chance to get to know him now that it FINALLY got off the ground. it took a year bc we were both too shy, but if he is leaving i accept it. i just do not want to regret saying nothing. I acted like i wanted him to go before and i regret it.

I think he wants to know i care if he stays BUT not sure and i am worried anything i say he will take it as my expecting something and i do not and him thinking that will really bother me. So I don't know how or what to say.

Any thoughtful suggestions appreciated. Thank you :)

Oh I don't know if it helps but he did clear up he had feelings in the past but thought i did not feel the same. I am of course in the dark as to his feelings 'now' he conveniently left hat out. Maybe in two year she will tell me about now and i just will not know about then ;p

So we've been friends for about a year now and a few months ago he admitted he is sexually attracted to me and dreamt sexually of me twice. But is he emotionally too, here's why I think he might be:
1.) He always stays with me (in the street at night) incase my ride was late to pick me up after our lecture (he nearly froze to death once lol) but he claims he loves my company
2.) He asked me to go with him to this dance we had and made an epic gesture because he knew I was into that
3.) We always do these cute things that couples do like hold hands and the way we talk the way he teases me and the way we look at each other (as told by literally everyone who saw us together)
4.) Lately tho he starts smiling at me like crazyyy like after every phrase I say and looks at me a lot and checks me out and cracks jokes he knows id laugh at.
5.) He tells me not to wear certain outfits that may be too revealing or tempting to other guys and protects me
6.) He always gives me compliments on my look and notices very very very small details about me that not even my best best friends notice.
7.) He gives me this look of adoration (the look you give someone who you're just in the middle of adoring everything about them ) (you'd understand if you've seen one)
8.) He texts waayy more than I do and always always initiate conversation when we see each other.
9.) He kinda touches me a lot (shoulder touch or arm or hand whenever he feels like it at times that dont require that.)
But at the same time he plays it cool he doesn't act nervous or shy around me and he sometimes flinches when I touch him so I dont know. He also kinda asks for sexting late at night which I refuse to so I feel like he might be just sexually and that he doesn't respect me much so I dont know. Is he emotionally attracted?
