And here we go again.

So, there's this guy in two of my classes. And yeah you're probably thinking "but she just posted about some other guy a month ago!" Honestly, I thought I liked him because he reminded me of the guy I fell for 2 and a half years... But there's this guy in my English & Algebra class, he's really sweet, has a great sense of humor, and he *might* like me back. Here's the thing, he's almost a year younger, and he's black. I'm 16 and he's turning 16 in June. The bad thing is that there are some racial differences. I'm not racist or anything, I'm into personality not looks. But back to the situation, him and I have slight slap wars, it started when I started teasing him. o_o I didn't like him then though, it was kind of one of those ninja things. I used to think he was a major dickbag when I first met him. Back to what he does, he sat next to me on a field trip when he had a seat to himself, he stood up for me in front of class when a girl spilled water on me and his friend wouldn't stop laughing, and he'll randomly start conversations with me. School's going to be out soon and I was wondering if it would be too forward to ask for his cell number? Would anything be able to work because our differences? And if so, how could I try to...I don't know, maybe somehow show that I feel the same?

Racial differences...? So he acts black or something? Im confused how thats a problem really if your not racist. but anyway, it seems like he likes you enough to talk to you but it seems like you are creating the barrier more. Like it seems like he tries to be the forward one but you up a wall so he doesnt get too close.
Since you did, you gotta break it down. talk to him a bit more and start a convo with him, if it ends early like on the bus ask "Oh you got a cell?" or something because that way it mentions you want his number but it could also mean u wanna just keep talking. Numbers arent as a big a deal as before.

He's black, I'm white. I don't care, but I always hear that relationships like those don't last or don't have a chance of working out. I don't really think I put up a wall of any sort. I'm just trying to figure out whether it would would because of the age difference and race. =/

My Dad and MY Step-Mom are an interracial couple that got married and theyve been very happy. Much Happier than when he was with some of the other women hes went out with. So race is only a barrier if you want and believe it to be.
