Now, to the point.
I'm starting to think i'm no longer looking to be in an "active" relationship with my crush, and if anything, just a romantic one- nothing sexually. i might just be looking for a friend for all i know. I just think he looks good and i love being around him.

It's just weird. I always thought that i had feelings for him, not necessarily sexual ones, and now i suddenly turn out to just want to befriend him? I mean, it does make sense in a way seeing as my friends (yes, 0 is plural) can't be trusted very much when i need them.

Then again, i'm just weird. I honestly don't know what to do past this point- the past few weeks i have been desperate to get closer to him and now i suddenly want to slow the fuck down because i don't want to destroy this little friendship i have established. Not so long ago, today in fact, he offered me Insurgency but because i was peeling potatoes and doing chores at that time i effectively ignored him, so then he was like "nvm" and when i got back i apologized as if my life depended on it (which it probably did in the long run), i still haven't got a response.

Is this possible? Did i wrongly perceive and falsely get convinced that i was in love with him rather than that i was just looking for friendship? If anything, just the false sense of security- the mentality of having someone to back me up when shit goes wrong?

TL;DR version | I thought i had a crush on a kid in my class, but after some time i'm starting to think that i just want to be friends with him. How does that work?

It happens. It's called child crushes or something. Girl I liked (and like, God help me) told me that my feelings for her were like that.

I'm actually going through something very similar right now, I always wanted to be close to this person, and now that I'm good friends with them, the feelings I initially had are vanishing a bit, even though I still want to be around them so so badly. I understand how you are afraid of seeming a "creep", or overly-attached to him, but hey, he's your friend, it's normal if you want his company. Maybe it's because you don't want to lose your friendship that you automatically feel you should back off for a while, but I guess you should trust your heart on this one. If you still like him, then go for it, but if you see you're going way to fast, then give it time and see how things develop.

I guess i'll try... the point is, i'm really socially awkward too so it doesn't help me engage in any social activities outside of school other than riding along with him for a small part :c

i'll give it some time, although i kind of just want a genuine friend. :c

Aww, if you want a genuine friend, then you have him. If you think friendship is more important than relationship right now, then it's fine, you made the right choice. I mean, who knows what can happen in the future, but you know him better than me. And you don't necessarily have to hang out with him outside school in order to earn his respect or something, sometimes a brief moment spent with the right person can be more meaningful than what you imagine.

I can't totally remember the name. It's basically when you think ur in love with someone but it later turns into a crush. The point I was trying to make, though, is it happens

Could you be thinking of puppy love?

Simon, I think you should just do what you think to be best. You're way overthinking this whole situation with this guy. Just go with it and, dare I say it - follow your heart.

My heart is bulging in frustration and having a fight to the death with my brain.
That's my problem. My heart doesn't control my body, my brain does, and my brain is overthinking all of this.

Sometimes people change. I've thought I had strong feelings about someone, but then we ended up dating and I realized that I didn't really like her that much, at least, not romantically, much less sexually. It ended badly and we're no longer friends. If you don't want to be actively in a relationship, then I think you should keep your friend.
