Talk to him about it or move on. You are worth too much to sit around and pine for someone that can't make up his mind.

It really depends how he meant the "i like you"

Flirt with him. Guys sometimes are stupid and not confident in themselves. Hey, ask him out too nothing wrong wit that. This comes from a guy's point of view. Usually the bad guys get the good girls but the good guys are do not talk much. GOOG LUCK!!!

Don't work yourself into a spin trying to figure out "why". It is what it is, so it's best to accept it and move on to the next guy. You don't want to try to be someone or something that you're not "in order to get his attention". He'd feel cheated and depressed to find later on that you're not the person that he noticed (if you do manage to gain his attention). But don't take a big loss on this, either. You should realize that if he can't recognize you with the sterling qualities that you *already* display, then he may not be "all that" himself. He just may be brain dead ... and there's some guy out there wondering (about you) "how can I get her attention?" Give someone else your attention. Move on from this one.

Of course not! If you're happy with each other, that's all that matters.

If you two really love eachother, you both will wait until you're 18 to be together.

He's 26 he should know what to do with gaining trust from a girl's parents. Your parents are looking out for your safety as you are inexperienced and vunerable to the world. There are many so call wolves in sheep clothing out there- if you have some of the questions asked about sex and love, you would have read that the men know what makes girls give sex. The magic words "I love you" In order to get sex men have to prove their love to girls so that the girls will be give sex to hold (satisfy) the man that may leave if she doesn't. It is still working till this day. Girls and women give sex in order to make the relationship work. But it may not work if the men are only looking for freebies and get tired of you. Thats why it's sex it's best left after marriage where the couple is tested and is faithful to each other and willing to save it for the last. Moreover sex will not treat cheap and easy for just pleasure or past time or tension releasing. Sex is a bond or love and commitment but now it is cheap and easy and regarding as just a entertainment in porns and movies. That is one of the greatest mistake of mankind - aids, rape, homo, lesbian and adultry stems from careless sexual urges.S let your bf gain trust from you and your parents and it would not be any problem.

Well, you have to change so that you feel like you are someone you would want to take back.

You become a well rounded, fulfilled human being and hopefully by then it wouldn't be something you'd waste your time thinking about. (And you'd want to take yourself back;)

At the risk of sounding crass here...Who cares? If you would never take him back then what's the point? To tease him? To make him feel bad? Maybe put him down? Doesn't sound like an image you'd want others to see you as, does it?

You cannot convince him to want you until you're certain that you would want you.
