Search Results: showing a girl you care

You'd think in your mid to late 20s you could tell if someone is into you...

We see each other regularly regardless because we have class together 4 days a week, but we also hangout outside of class. We go out for coffee, tea, and food, before and/or after class often. We pretty much are always alone together. Sometimes we hangout in a small group of friends. We've spent 10 hours straight together, seen each other every day for weeks, stayed out until 2am together, etc.

He has brought me things that he cooked so I can taste them, and he hasn't really offered to bring things for others, but I'm also always showing interest in what he makes. When I was sick he visited me every day for 7 days straight, and on some of those days he would leave and come back a second time. He brought me food and drinks when I was sick also.

However, he also has opened up a lot and shared a lot with me, which is great. The thing is he used to tell me a lot about this girl he liked. He didn't think she was really right for him. He wasn't sure. He wanted to figure it out and they were friends, but she blew him off and he says he's over it now. They're not friends anymore... but he says she's the only girl he's ever had feelings for, and he thought he needed a relationship and now he doesn't feel that way. He's also made a couple semi random comments about girls being 4 or more years older than a guy and dating. He feels it's weird. I'm more than 4 years older. I said I think it's fine when you're both adults, and he kind of backed up saying he's the last person to really care about age, but it's still kind of weird. Confusing...

So, I feel like he just really cares about me as his friend... even though everyone thinks "so are you two official yet or not because seriously you're always together." Many of my friends want us to date. Some of our mutual friends don't care but think we need to decide already... but he seems to be oblivious to it all...

I know it's a long story... thoughts?
