Skm0025,

I’m not quite sure how serious he may be taking this as a ‘relationship’. Since you only use the word ‘to hang out, which doesn’t mean you are dating or even in a relationship to begin with. I don’t think the guy is confused, so much that it’s what you want from the ‘relationship’. You are also both at a young age where there is a lot going on in your lives. If he is in high-school then he is probably doing other things. If you have only been hanging out, as a male myself, that doesn’t in my head mean he is dating or into you (i can only go on the information that you have provided). Because he might see this as a serious thing, it may not be a priority for him.

Apart from being sweet, funny and respectful; what do you actually like about him? Besides the top layer kind of stuff; like he is intelligent etc. How does he make you feel? I ask because if you invest a lot of time and effort into someone then of course the assumption is that it will be reciprocated. Where do you see this going? I would ask him the same question, that way you can figure out if you are on the same page and want the same things. The natural reaction is that he may answer back and say something along the lines he is busy. Which may be true, but if you are in to someone, you tend to make it clear by your intentions and actions. Whether or not you move on or continue is for you to decide.

Hope this helps. If you have a comment or want to say more, please feel free to continue this post.
