I hate to think this way, but it is how I feel. I fell in love with a friend of mine's 14 year old brother. I have done a ton of research to define what is was that I am feeling, and it turns out it is love. After all the research, it is what most everybody would consider love. The problem is he doesn't really feel anything towards me, according to him. We can be close, like sitting right next to each other and have physical (not sexual) contact, and he doesn't seem to mind. It feels like the way a relationship would start, but without the possibility of it actually happening. I told him how I felt and he said he doesn't like the idea, but nothing changed between us. Is this the norm for situations like these? I would like to think there could be more, but I feel as though I know better. Should I just avoid him to get over it?
