I don’t know how old you are, but I can tell you that this is not a “friend” because your feelings are the type of feelings you have for someone you’re interested in romantically — not in friendship. And when it comes to romance, it’s always better to let him be the one to take the lead, because that way you know exactly HOW interested he is in you. When he does contact you, it’s because he’s interested, and when he doesn’t, it’s because he isn’t. Make sure you flirt with him to let him know you’re interested, and that will give him the opportunity to ask you out on a date. Guys need a little encouragement and sometimes, if they’re not sure where they stand, they back off. That’s why flirting is a great way to let him know how you feel. 😎
