When you're visiting your dad ask him out with another friend-someone you trust. Ask your friend to talk with this boy-when you're not around- and find out if he likes you or not :)
As far as I know, boys usually act mean near the girls they like but there are some who are not like that... hope your guy is in the second category, good luck with it!

but i will explain! i was sitting along and my sister is his sisters best friend. She always hangs out with her and jackson, and said to me how awesome he is. Then i looked back in the past and realized i was crushing on a boy who was mean. So i began to like jackson since he is SUPER nice!

Okay wait, first of all I don't think you are in love with him, because in all honesty, I think he is just being really nice to you because it's just the way he is. He treats you well as a friend.

Love is a very strong word, it can only come about when 2 people agree to commit to each other. I read your previous comment about liking another guy and you suddenly like this guy because he is nice, now this poses 2 problems. One is the fact that do you genuinely have feelings for this Jackson, or did you suddenly like him because he is the complete OPPOSITE of the guy you said you had a crush on. The second problem is, you CANNOT date a friend without it being about love. Eventually, one, or even both of you will have romantic feelings and the other might not, and this will cause serious emotional strain on the matter.

My advice is this, you really have to think carefully about your feelings. You just said you had a crush on another guy and now you suddenly like this guy because he is nice. If you were Jackson, wouldn't you want someone who was true and genuine in their feelings?

What you are feeling now for him isn't love, it is just a crush because he seems to be the complete opposite of the guy you liked before. In all honesty, as a guy, we do treat the girls in our lives well, but that does not mean we are in love with you.

I think he is really good friend to you and if you live very far apart, a long-distance relationship isn't easy either and you should really think about things before coming to a conclusion.

Friendship is forever....

P.S. Please do not get mad at the person who posted above me, he/she was just trying to find out more so he/she could help you. You didn't have to say "damn you, you are of no help"...

People come to this spot for help, and serious advice when they have problems, you should thank him/her for wanting to offer her advice in the first place. This is the "Love" spot, not the "Insult" spot...

Long distance relationships really don't work out. I have tried half-an-hour-drive relationship. Sadly, it don't work out...
