Search Results: he is older than i thought

It’s been three months since we have known each other. We walk together on the way to our classes, he would wait for me. Must people would say that he likes me or he is my boyfriend. We act like a couple but the thing is that I am two years older than him. Someone asked him if I were his girlfriend, he said, “no, she is a friend.” As soon as they walked away, he told me, “Unless you want to be my girlfriend.” I looked at him because I was shocked, I wanted to say yes (we had mask on due to covid) but he continued and told me, “Just kidding, I am focusing on education.” I am also focusing on the education, we had the same goal. I thought about it lately to ask him out but I am afraid he would reject me since I know that he focuses on his education. Help me out older brothers and sisters.
