Resolved Question: Do I really like him? Im so confused. Is it wrong?

29/06/11

Okay here is some background. I am a 20 year old girl and my neighbour is a 16 year old guy. I have grown up with him and known him my entire life. The problem I am having is that I think he and I are both developing feelings for one another. When I am with him everything feels right, but when I step back and think about it (like right now) it feels so wrong. I keep asking myself so many questions and I can’t find the answers to them, so maybe you guys can give me your input..

So here is some of the things I am thinking about:
Do I really like him? Or is it just because we are so close that I feel so comfortable and everything. Or because I am emotionally attached, perhaps??

Am I mistaking these feelings for other ones? Like do I like him or am I mistaking it for a love as a friend and/ or a brother type of love?

Is it wrong for me to like a younger guy? I don’t think about my age when I’m with him, only when I’m not with him. I also want to make it clear that I would NEVER try anything with him at this point. He and I are at different stages in our lives and these are critical stages. I would only try something if it worked out later in life.

I also leave for college in August, so maybe my emotions are going crazy because I will be very far away from home, before this I attended a community college that was very close to my house and lived at home.. so I feel like maybe going away could be taking an emotional toll on me.

Anyways, I don’t know what to think or how to feel. Do I like him? or am I just used to him being there? Is it bad for a 20 year old girl to have feelings for a 16 year old guy? Are these feelings here because I feel lonely? I haven’t been in a relationship for a couple years, I have been concentrating on my education. I just don’t know what to do or what to think anymore. I’m so confused..

What do you all think? Have any of you been in this situation, whether its with age difference or not being sure if you truly like someone or not.. please give me your input.
