Search Results: how to tell he his hiding something

my boyfriend which I've been dating for almost a month now accidentally forgot his lie- he was being teased by other seniors and they were jokingly calling him a pedophile , I asked him why and then he said it was because he was almost 18 😱 wtf (he forgot he lied). he told me he was 16(he skipped a grade) but he's really 17 about to turn 18 soon. Today I spoke to him for about an hour about how it hurt me , that he lied and he told me that I should have figured and that he's sorry for lying, He said he just wanted to be with me (he was scared I would reject). I actually got intimate with him emotionally and physically! I would ask him all the time before if he was hiding something and he told me he was hiding nothing and I swear I knew something was up but he would get defensive. should I just forgive him and still keep the relationship? I'm 15 and I'm no where near my bday. I feel so gullible and hurt. I'll never tell my mother about us now

So I have feelings for my best guy friend and everyone wants us to get together (aka ships us). But every time someone even suggests the idea he jumps to defensive about how he "isn't looking for a relationship right now" and even did that when someone wasn't even talking about it, she just looked at him funny for singing something. He never seemed to care about the shipping before I found out his friend likes me. And he gives that friend his "stamp of approval" like a big brother would and tells me he ships it (which really irritates me). But because of this sudden change I can't help but wonder if he is hiding how he really feels because of bro code or he is just getting irritated at the "ridiculous notion" in his head about possibly considering wanting to date me. It is just making me more and more stressed out and depressed every time he denies it. So could you guys give me your thoughts on the matter?
