So I'm in high school and there's this guy who is a year older than me. All of my friends including me thinks he likes me. The signs are showing. He has commented on how cold my hands are (which they always are) and warms them between his hands. He has gone on a jog with me (at school, not too impressive). He has said really nice things to me like commenting on aspects of my personality he likes. Once, I said I was really tired because we have what is called a First Robotics Club where we meet at school on weekends and adults lecture us on robots. He said "I know something that will wake you up," but then said "Nevermind." I was expecting him to kiss me but that A.)*seems cliche as I type this and B.) it was too public. He is always working with me when we build the robots and sticks around me when we're not. He even moved lunch tables as I walked in to sit. He is none-the-less attractive ( I have a weak spot for Asians) and a very smart person, but I am worried about him being older than me. He is only one year above me but this is high school and anyone who has read The Perks of Being a Wallflower understands, along with the general public. Should I go for it or nah? Am I being paranoid? Help me out ASAP! I see him pretty much everyday but mostly on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks!

Is he a Senior just about to graduate? Does he leave like the-other-side-of-the-country kind of away?

Even if he did, I would still say go for it. You like him, he seems to like you, better to have a few months happy with him than wondering of what could have been.

I'm a freshman and he's a sophmore. Even though it sounds like it, I'm not like your typical freshman. I have a completely different thinking process, so try your best not to pool me in with the "typical freshie" stereyotype.

I'd say go for it is just experimenting new things and forget the future.

He's not that much older. There's not that big of a difference, so I would say go for it. I have a weakness for older guys too, but like much older lol.

Id say go for it, whats the worst that can happen, that he tells you that hes not interested in you that way? I think not. According to you, he has shown all of the signs of being interested and you seem pretty interested as well, so why not. I am sure the age difference isnt that great that it will matter much and I am sure it is of no consequence to him, so why not? You have nothing to lose.

Go for it ! Leave that "guy must do it first!" bullshit!
Do it , or regret it for lifetime. I regret many things cause of stupid unwritten "rules" :)

He sounds like a solid dude. If you like him let him know! Trust me I wish sometimes I could read a girls mind to see if she likes me too!

I have always been a strong believer in age not being a problem in relationships, if two people really love each other or have very strong feelings for each other then why not? I mean yeah if your only 4-6 years apart it's not a problem at all but if you were actually much older then it becomes creepy. However when it does come with relationships is a lot of rules to follow, especially when both are either young and old. There needs to be some guidelines to be followed until they are really ready but that's only if they are gonna be taking things to different levels. However you and him are only a year apart, it's no biggie. I'd say just go for him, I agree with some of the ones who have commented. He's showing signs he is interested in you but maybe he's afraid that you don't like him in that way, I'd say just go for it and ask him out. Don't wait too long before he actually does lose interest because they always say if you wait too long they will lose interest and find someone else. Either way Just follow your heart and hopefully you'll make your move or for all you know he could make his move on you. But either way don't wait! :)

Not so sure about that me making the first move part but OK. Yeah, the guy goes first rule never really mattered to me, I just like to kick back and watch what happens. If i get too impatient I might say something but not too extreme. Nothing to report today, but it's only getting started! :P

My mom didn't let me go to robotics today because I went to my grandmother's house, but yesterday didn't entail too much. The upperclassmen and other sophmores are still trying to marry us and whatnot. My senpai is being all mushy and crap, reciting lines from a wedding ceremony... o///o But pretty much the same thing happened that I said up there ^ and he does this shirt flicking thing that explicitly shows a griddled abdomen. One thing though, I think he's trying to impress me or something because I was walking down the hall into another workshop and saw him and this kid named Matthew in the lunch/conference room fighting over who should carry the most two littler sodas. *eye roll* boys... Their backs were turned to me so they didn't see me. Darren (the smarty-pants Asian man) said "I want Salina to see me carrying all of the drinks (like eight)." and Matthew was all like "Salina doesn't care how many drinks you carry she is already impressed. Now stop being an ass and give me some of those." At this I laughed and took some of the drinks myself. I don't want him to think he has to prove himself or anything. We haven't talked about it but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
