Stupid feelings

Im 14 yrs old I know I probably shouldn’t be this messed up over a boy but I met him when I was in grade 7 (now in grade 9) I’ve liked him for a long time. Anyways every summer a rodeo comes to town and he always bugged me about going with him for a bit so I did and he finally started liking me. I’m quite shy and I can’t talk to him without my face turning very red. He always tells me that he won’t give up on us just because of that but it’s been to long and I feel really bad today he said he couldn’t do it anymore and said he wished he would’ve stopped liking me before it got to serious.
