Does my crush like me?

Hii, so i met this guy

It seems like he's definitely interested. Don't take it personally if he takes a while to respond, some people just can't keep up a high intensity like this and feel easily unable to respond as intensely after a while. Just mirror his texting behaviour. And you guys aren't together. Don't expect him to say good morning to you or anything. And taking half an hour to reply isn't very heavy is it? My crush sometimes takes 8 hours to respond and still ended up having dinner with me and making out with me the other day (I'm gay tho, but maybe that qualifies me even more to talk about guys lol)

Thank you so much for the feedback, well so i decided to tell him i like him and i told him i wanted to end the friendship because its going to make things awkward and he wasnt happy with ending the friendship he asked me why and that he wants us to still be friends. He also mentioned that if we stay friends that means that we wont talk as much because it makes things complicated but thats not what he wants... He wants to talk to me and stuff but instead of him starting the convo i have to do it, but now im mirroring his behavior like u said...

Met him before

Maybe have a look at attachment theory. He may be a case of either being a dismissive avoidant or having a fear of commitment, so instead of committing he wants to keep you around as a 'friend' because he probably enjoys having attention from someone. I would be careful. Jsut ended a months long dynamic on a crush I had because I've been treated the exact same way. In the end, what's important is how you feel about this, and if you feel distressed too much, maybe it's better to leave it behind and owe to yourself to feel disappointed by his behaviour. Makes it easier to move on.
