Junior year he would come up behind me every day and throw himself on me until I said he was crushing me. That was last year and now my feelings for him are so strong I would love to hug him at school since it's okay to hug but not kiss.

He refused a hug once and that hurt me and I told him never again. About a week ago we had a long tight hug and he rubbed his cheek on mine while holding me close. I really wanted to kiss him!

Yesterday he hugged a guy friend right in front of me and I asked him why I have to beg for hugs. He said he wasn't sure I liked hugs! I said always!

Today we were at a party and he only danced with me. I drove him home but was too nervous to say anything serious about us.

He took pics of us at the party with his phone and randomly puts the phone in my face to take a pic. He cooks food for me and brings it in just for me and him and sometimes feeds me with a spoon or puts candy right in my mouth with his fingers.

From stuff I've read on here, he seems to be painfully shy. He's told me he's an open book to me and he's told me tons of personal stuff and vice versa.

I really want the physical contact with him since as friends that's the only acceptable thing to do. How do I get him to offer hugs or not refuse mine? I don't want to seem clingy or needy.

I know he likes contact with me. We're always sitting close, brushing hands or fingers or playing footsie under the table. We block each other's way a lot so we have a reason to brush past each other and put our hands on each other.

He finds me all the time at school just to hang out. We talk or just sit and make eyes at each other quietly. I've heard that he's had a least three people drive him past my house and he's threatened to ring my doorbell if he's jogging by (he lives four streets away).

Did he stop hugging me because he has feelings for me too and knows the tension between us is making things awkward? The last hug felt like it was leading somewhere else.
