How old is this kid now? 12? I'm usually very supportive but you're trying to have a relationship with a little kid. At your age it's bordering on pedophilia. You don't have a relationship with this baby--you never did, this baby isn't emotionally capable of having a relationship.

I'd be a lot ruder but you're not very old to begin with and you're reading way too much into it.

(sorry if this sounds overly harsh--I was in love with a 15yr old when I was 18 and I now know it was warped.)
