I've been "friends" with this person for a tiny bit over a year now. I met him right after getting out of a previous relationship that I was not over. He helped me get over my past relationship, and we grew very close. This summer, we ended up kissing... and other stuff. We waited 7 months before we did any of that stuff. We've called each other "friends" since we've met, but this summer we grew closer than ever. We started saying we missed each other, and sometimes even came up with pet names. It's been 4 months since summer, and we've grown further apart. We don't really do any of this anymore, but occasionally, we do cuddle and "other stuff". I want to say we are more than friends, but he is all I think about. It hurts me that we have grown so far apart, and I want things to be how they were in the summer. I feel like he is still there deep down, and before i lose him anymore, I want to tell him the truth. I think that I'm falling for him. Every time i see him and we then go back home, I miss him to pieces. I can't stop thinking about him. How do I tell him how i feel? I've also met his entire family, something none of his other friends have really done. This includes his absent father in his life who essentially left the family. I met him as well, which is something he rarely does with anyone else. I've basically entered parts of his life and his mind that others have not.

 

I guess what I'm really looking for is to just be honest with him. i want to be honest with him in hopes that maybe the "summer" him will come back... I know he liked me a lot during the summer. i just hope some traces of those feelings still exist.

I'm assuming both of you are pretty young. My generation had a name for it and even a song, "Summer Love" and everyone kind of knew it was over and everyone went back to their lives at the end of summer because they were too young to be making permanent lifestyle plans. Young men generally are going to be interested in a lot of girls before they get serious and settle down later in life. I have the feeling he likes you but he also likes a lot of other girls and isn't going to tie himself down. Sorry. If I were you, I'd be going out and having fun with friends, even when you don't feel like it, and meeting new people.
