Boy issues😫

I had a crush on this boy in the summer and I was too afraid to tell him. Eventually, one of my friends got so sick of me talking about him she went and told him and I am happy she did. We started talking and he started to like me too. I wasn’t sure about getting into a relationship because I haven’t had a boyfriend before so we went slow. Slowly, we stopped talking and I got upset.

Now, We talk here and there and he sometimes sits on my lap in class. I soon realized I was falling in LOVE with him. He gets distant one day and talks to me the next and I don’t know what to do. Plz help me 😫
