crushing hard

so there is this guy who constantly looks at me or glances at me @ band camp. when i said something about us dating he said “nahhhh” which he is a drum instructor so technically i can’t date him now. we’ve been friends 4ever and we talk literally 24/7 & we make eye contact when we’re talking. i have such a huge crush on him 😭 what do i do and do you guys think he likes me???? (i’m 17 & he’s 20) (he isn’t drum major, he is the drum instructor that helps the drumline) (age of consent in alabama is 16)
