Kyle, how strong you are for posting! My own suggestion is that you plan to stay celebate until married... or otherwise promised. You answered some of your own questions... it could be hormones... it could be your own need for a man in your life... I don'tknow you .. maybe your younger life lacked that? It could be many things. Maybe...may I suggest you becoming the best you can be, a real friend to all .. including this other person, and just like many relationships, see where it takes you? Is there an undertone that if the other person finds out who you feel you really are, they won't like you at all? Maybe you don't like who you think you are? Find yourself first, make friends of all kinds along the way... and though it's tough to realize at your age just how long the road is, you have plenty of time. :- )
