I don’t know a lot about dating/ being in a relationships since I never had one. I’m 18 years old, and things changed in my family this starting school year. Anyways those changes ended up making my neighbor and I to start talking, after living in in the same community for 4 years. He invited me to his football games and I went, we talk everyday, at least a small conversation. One day I made him meet me outside to tell him some news that his stepmom already had told him so we went out to my table and we talked. I told him I enlisted in the army and I’ll be leaving next summer he was a shock and said I can’t believe you’re going to leave and we just started to talk and get to know each other, I was shocked when he said that because I didn’t know if he felt that way, at the end on of conversation before he left he leaned in to kiss me but my dumbass turned my head because I didn’t know what he was going to do but he managed to kiss me in my cheek. I felt really bad but he texted me afterwards he left, I told him I didn’t expect that and I was nervous because I never had my first kiss. Anyways he invited me to his football game on Halloween and I went, later that night he came over my house to study and we did, then he looked at me and kissed me, it was amazing and then we just cuddle in bed and he left. So now I’m wondering if we’re a thing or not. I asked him the next day and it’s another long story but he said he didn’t want to put a title between us because it’s our last year in high school and colleges are looking at him for football so he’s focus on school so I understand that, but we’re still talking. His parents are divorced and one night he text me to meet him out at the table, and when I got out he was already there so I knew something was up, then he asked me if I can drive him to his moms house and I said yeah, he didn’t say why but I took him. He explained in the car that he got in a argument with his dad about homecoming (which was that night) saying he should have gone because it’s the last one and he decided to go and knock on my door to go with him, but then his dad began to call him names, like a faggot, whimp and he punched his door and then things went downhill from there. I told him he’s going to have to make up with his dad because you don’t want to stay in bad terms with your dad and they made up the next day. Fast forwarding to today, he got to another argument with his dad but this it’s permanent he staying with his mom, she doesn’t live far from where I live maybe 20minutes but he’s texting me he’s sorry, and I ask what for? And he responds because I won’t see him as often and we won’t hangout at his house or my house, but I told him we can still hangout. He told me that I make him feel more comfort and not alone, which I’m glad he can talk to me about his issues, but The way he said it, I’m sorry Ashley, made me a little sad because I still want to see him, like I don’t know what we are but I feel like we have a strong connection, and I know he feels it too, I get butterflies and he knows that. I just don’t know if maybe he wants me or maybe I should wait a little longer for his problems to go down? I still want to hang out with him. He makes me happy, I told him I’m always going to be there for him. I want to be with him, I don’t mind driving to see him and hang out, but I don’t know if he wants that? I don’t know if I should bring it up to him and maybe talk about it and actually work things out? We’re busy with our own things like school, sports. Working and other things, but I don’t mind if we do all that and go out. I don’t know, I just felt like I needed to vent. Opinions please, I don’t know.
