Dear Anyone,

There's this guy in my school with whom I feel a complete sense of comradeship. We've known each other a while, are very close, and tell each other all our problems. He calls me his 'best of soul mates,' tells me 'I love you and I care that you're upset and I want to help' and 'I never want you to cry; it makes me cry when you're upset.' We're extremely similar, very afraid of rejection, very academic, and very stiff. Because of this, we only speak to each other affectionately in text messages. In person we act like we're barely acquainted. I can sit next to him for hours in school and say almost nothing. So my question is, where do we go from here? Does the stuff he's told me mean he's interested, or just wants to be best friends? He's also told me he cared about me for a long time but didn't have the guts to say so, and that he was too shy to get to know me. We're both quite outgoing and very loud with our same-sex friends but have almost a phobia of the opposite sex. He's never had a girlfriend, I keep dating guys I don't like. So yeah, does he love me? And how do we get past our shyness?

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?

Vote for Option A   
A:  Don't get involved with him unless he is able to get the guts to talk to you in person.
Vote for Option B   
B:  He's confused about his feelings. He loves you as a friend more intensely than he loves his other friends but doesn't know what to do about it.
Vote for Option C   
C:  He probably just pities you and says things he doesn't mean.
Vote for Option D   
D:  Hello! He obviously has feelings for you. He's just shy. You may have to make a move to get things going.
