Bit of a crush on someone, could do with advice

[Noobzilla]

Theres a guy I met about 2 months ago, and ive sort of had a crush for him. I didnt feel that way when we met but afterwards I got to know him a bit more through skype. We talk very openly about everything.He has everything I could value in a guy, he has so many traits similar to me. Long story short, I really like him inside and out. So what I plan to do is to just see him more in person, spend time with him and actually build a closer friendship and well later on at somepoint id talk to him about it and tell him how I feel and that I understand if we cant be together (theres some barriers, like a big age gap), but I want to know if it could ever be so and that I dont want our friendship to dissolve because of it. As he's really understanding I feel its the best thing to do, mabye im thinking too far ahead and just see how it goes.

So yeah, im looking for any advice from people's experience as ive never had a real relationship

If/when you do end up telling him how you feel, be sure to be very clear to communicate that you don't want your friendship to be ruined/affected negatively/etc.

Better make that reaally clear. He might think of only in a romantic way or maybe he prefers to think of you romantically, but might settle for a friendship. Depends on the guy.

I'm doing the same thing with the sexes reversed. I have three girls and two guys as pretty close to very close friends. I currently have crush on another girl and honestly, I don't want another friend that's a girl. I want someone to date or hook up with or something more intimate than friendship.

I'm not sayin all guys are like me, they aren't. If I didn't have any close friends that weren't girls, I'd be up for one, but given that I have that, I want some romance or a connection ... something more than friends.

My guess cuz he's a guy, he'll just tell ya if he's interested in you that way. My guess is that he is. The average guy doesn't have problem having friends that are girls, it's the relationships/connection/ hookin up that is harder to find.
