Hello guys! Today I'm very happy yet confused. I need some advice.
Here is my story: I met a guy last year. He is my senior in the college. But he is not from my country or culture. His mother tongue is different and he is very different than me. We have a 3 years age gap and he is very smart compared to me. But I just realized that I have been spending a lot of time with him and I feel like I like him more than a friend.
He does this little things and that flutters my heart. Whenever I do a good work, he pats my head. Once day I was pulling over night at library, he stayed with me entire night because I was alone. He does that often and doesn't even take a nap. Whenever he gets scared or extremely happy, he suddenly gives me back hugs. He might like me also but what if he is just doing that seeing me as a junior? What if I am like a kid to him? What if he just sees me as a friend?
What do I do? I don't know if I should get close to him anymore or keep a distance. I don't want to date someone who cannot marry me. But I don't what to do. I don't know if he would like me the same way I like him. I don't know if asking him out would ruin our friendship. I don't want to lose him as a friend if we cannot be couples.
Please help me. How do I know if he likes me or not? What to do?
Also, he is graduating in 2 months and I want to take steps before he goes away if he likes me. If he doesn't like me, I will let him go.
