I've liked this guy on and off since 7th grade. In middle school we had one of those things that last a day, but by my 8th-9th grade (his 9th-10th) we kinda didn't talk as much anymore and did our own thing. By my sophomore year, we were on good terms again, but he had a girlfriend and I had a thing w this other guy so it was strictly platonic. By the summer going into my junior year (2015) he started flirting with me a lot more. I tried to brush it off, but the feelings came back. We vibe so well when we talk so it started off as kinda a banter thing, but then he became more obvious by playing with my hair/hugging me, telling me that he thought I was pretty, and he would even get edgy if he heard that other guys were into me. After a while of this flirtationship, I took him to my junior prom. Our chemistry was off the charts that night; it was like everything before but amplified, plus he gave me his tux jacket and we almost kissed. He's away at college now and he won't be home until Christmas.
