i'm 17, he's 15. ah!

[benjininja]

So I liked him all summer, it's now almost november and i really met him in i'd say May. At the time, we met at auditions for the school play. Though (without sounding creepy) i noticed him before because he had lunch the same time as me, so i'd noticed him in the lunch room
But I finally met him at auditions, and we ended up both getting leads. So now we've been rehearsing for about 8 weeks and the shows are next week, so we're together EVERY day for about 4 hours after school. But over the summer, i started crushing on him, and actually broke up with my gf because i felt bad. i ended up texting him randomly like "hey, this is really awk but i like you..." and he replied with "yeah that's a bit awk"
my friend colin thinks maybe that doesn't mean "i don't like you" because he's rather feminine. I mean he has adorable hair, he's so cute in general. he wears pretty much all purple, all the time. he has bright blue (and bright purple) skinny jeans.
I think I may be in love, or something.
Thing is, he's in love with this girl he got to know at homecoming (they juked and he basically fell in love with her) and so that's awkward. plus i told him but we ended up getting closer than ever after maybe 3 weeks of no talking. now he's slept over, and i spent the night at his place, and we just went to the movies tonight. my friend Aleks told me "Ben, life is short. just pin him up against a wall and kiss him..."
part of me wants to do it.
another part of me wants to just tell him (again)
and another part wants to do nothing
let's weigh the options! pinning him to a wall: possible charges of sexual assault, completely ruining our friendship, scaring him, frightening people in school (my school has 4000 people in it). moreover, it would be his first real kiss, that wasn't on stage or in a game of truth or dare. i don't want to steal something special like that from him. i just want him happy
i could tell him how i feel, but haven't i already done that? sort of. now, i want to kiss him. then i just liked him. now it's even stronger. we've grown so close this year. i can't go a day without hugging him. i need him, he's like my drug. and i care about him so much. when he's sad, i'm sad. i can't live if he's upset. and i want to be like:
"Taylor...there's nobody i can think of who cares about u as much as i do. i really want you to be happy. and you lament every day the fact that you have no one to be intimate with...but if anyone cares about you enough to give you your first kiss, and let it mean something, it's me. please, let me try to make you happy"
that's what i'd say.
or, i could do nothing. the easy option!
what do you guys think? i could really use some help.
he's a grade below me and theres about a 1.5 year age difference. but he's beautiful...=/

wow ummm, remind him and tell him bits and peices of what u really wanted to tell him, like write it down and cut it into peices and give on to him everyday and he finally gets the massage, then after the play when he doesnt get the hints, id pin him up as he would be leaving a place where you two together and kiss him

[Fact]

"Taylor...there's nobody i can think of who cares about u as much as i do. i really want you to be happy. and you lament every day the fact that you have no one to be intimate with...but if anyone cares about you enough to give you your first kiss, and let it mean something, it's me. please, let me try to make you happy"
that's what i'd say.

Your admiration for him is truly beautiful and beyond cute!
I like this second option, as long as you ease up on the love and mush, just in case he does get scared or freaks out a little.
And doing nothing isn't the easy option! I think you'd die inside if you let him go, from the way you talk about him!
Like someone above me said; life is short! It's TOO damn short. Let him know that - add it to your 2nd option speech.
The age difference really doesn't matter. It's not like you're out of depth with it.

I really hope this all works out for you hun!
Good Luck!

Thing is, he's in love with this girl he got to know at homecoming

That's your answer dude.
He's not interested, he's with someone.

Also,

[Fact]

That's your answer dude.
He's not interested, he's with someone.

Ah, I read that part but I guess the main focus on the love aspect clouded it out.
If he's with someone that sort of changes things, you might want to wait until he's not with someone. By no means should you mutilate their relationship in any way, though, because then he won't like you at all (for obvious reasons).

[benjininja]

well, as for his relationship status. he's very very single. she likes another guy and hugs him once a day when they see eachother. she's a freshman, he's a sophomore (i'm a junior) and it appears she doesn't like him. i'd really rather she DID like him then at least he'd be happy you know? =/ i don't like seeing him like this. i was with him again tonight and he kept sighing a lot. and he was texting her while we were at dinner.
point is, he's not in a relationship. so i wouldn't be ruining anything

[aussiecasper]

hugging.....not nessisearly the public display of attention your working it up to be. mabey he likes you mabey not. mabey he is in the same situation with this girl that you are in with him. id just l say eff' it and lay my cards down on the table if i were you. not like tell him you love him but find out his feelings. sounds like a jumble of mixed feeling, straighten things out before you plan an attack

[benjininja]

so i gave up =P
i sided with chocolate, best friends, and chick flicks.
