Should I tell my crush I love him?
Me (15f) and my crush (18m) are very close. He has no idea about the huge crush I have on him. I will preface this by saying I AM NOT GOING TO START DATING A 18 YEAR OLD! I am aware of the trouble it can get us in and also it just looks very very weird. Now that that’s out of the way I have the biggest crush on this guy, we’ll call him Jack. This man is everything I want in a partner he’s kind, funny, tall and has a great singing voice which is something I find very attractive. He’s always been there for me and got me through some very dark times. As our friendship has grown I’ve begun to realize my feelings about him. We go into the city when he’s back from college and we try to text when our busy schedules allow it. It’s started to become unbearable to keep this inside and I’ve told a couple of my irl friends about him. I want to tell him even if we can’t date, I just want to know if he feels the same. Sometimes it feels like he does and other times not. I want to tell him how much I love him but I’m afraid of risking losing the friendship we have now. I am aware of how young I am and how this will likely not be some life altering thing but it’s my world right now. I’m just so scared of getting him in trouble due to the age gap. So I need to know, do I and if so what do I tell him?
