I'll try to keep this as short as possible.

 

I was attracted to him from day one, he was very intelligent and bright. We met on a popular online video game and decided to meet IRL 8 months ago as we live in the same city. At the time, though, I was dating a guy and never really thought about it too much. We did pretty much everything online and offline together and could talk to each other about pretty much anything. One day we were playing the game and someone joined the guild and he was pretty much like, "this is my girlfriend." I could feel a pang of jealousy ride up and down my spine. He never told me about her and I didn't really ask, either. Some people in our guild says it's really a guy, but he doesn't seem like the lying type to me. I could see them saying, "I love you so much" to each other, and it kind of made me sick. At the same time though, I'm very happy for him. I have 0 desire to try and break them up, because I care about him too much, plus that kind of behaviour is not a part of my character.

 

Anyways, he's 18 and I'm 28, so even if he was single I don't think I could pursue a relationship with him because of the vast age difference (I prefer older guys). Even though he's an adult (that acts much older, however) he's still a teenager.

 

I'm just not sure, it's quite obvious to me that I'm fond of him. But I'm just not sure if this love I feel for him is being in love or just platonic love. Or maybe it's possible I love him as a brother but also like him? I just don't know how to pursue this.

 

Any help is appreciated!
