I don't really know what I feel right now. I met a guy the first week of college and we hit it off right away. He asked me to grab lunch after class one day and I agreed, since I have never been asked on a date before. We hung out a lot and became close friends. I realized he had a crush on me and I thought I did too, but I've never been in a relationship before and I like to be independent. As the weeks went on, he texted me more and more. On Halloween, we watched a movie together and by the end he was practically hanging on me, I felt uncomfortable, but luckily my roommate walked in and realized I was uncomfortable and asked if she could watch the movie with us. It made me feel more comfortable with her in the room. As the weeks went on he continued to text and talk to me whenever he had the chance. Now it's Christmas break and he has been texting me nonstop the entire break, at least three times a day to ask me what I was doing. I don't know if I want to be in a relationship with him, because I don't know if I'm quite ready for this commitment and I'm not willing to open up to him about my feelings. He hasn't specifically told me that he likes me; however, he has told multiple friends that he does. What happens if I get involved in this relationship and then immediately want out of it? I don't want to hurt him, but at the same time I'm not sure I want a boyfriend at this time. I don't want to completely sever the possibility of us dating, because in the future it might be a possibility, but at the moment I just can't. To make matters worse, all of my friends find him annoying and have kicked him off our floor multiple times. What should I do? I feel so confused about the whole matter.
