Derek, was a guy who i would consider as a good aquintance and to be honest i didnt give much thinking into any kinda relationship with him. It all started when i asked him for some good 'ole christian advice and i was going to let his other two brothers join in but he only want me and him to talk. And i found out we had A LOT in common. Anyways so quickly after that he starts to act a lot differently. Like he gives me a ton of eye contact, teases me, and is more playful than usual. Only thing is thats not at all i was thinking he would do. I went from being open to him to shy and giggle and that kinda crap. Lately he has been inboxing me and first he sent me "we missed you tonight!" then i said "aweee.... Thanks " and "that actually made my saturday morning" and he sent me back a " well enjoy your weekend!! You are awesome Jazmine!" and then i asked if he had someone email and he told me "i dont have it now but i can look around. To be honest im not sure if hes just being nice or what???

I would like to know more about this 'christian advice'. Is this man suppose to be a mentor, or a guide in your religious group? How old is he? and you?

See, because his attitude toward you changed after you asked him for this 'christian advice' I think it has more to do with the confidence you told him than being an interest male/female.

It also sounds like he's trying to lift your self-esteem, telling you you're awsome and were missed at the meeting. A little like an older family member would do with a young adult that he wants take under his wing.

Well, if u ask me, i think its prety obvious the dude's up to something. You've not seen it because u are trying to deny the reality of it all; the guy is giving you a croutch. he is interested in you, but you have to be very careful. from what you posted, i'm not sure he truely loves you yet. so put your fingers crossed and watch him, carefully.

Love? Of course he doesn't love her yet. Love comes from relationship building and contact. Why should she be wary of a man that's being nice to her?

I agree with Gail, however, in that it's hard to give an opinion without knowing all the facts. If he's a mentor of sorts, then yes, he's just being nice. If, however, the both of you are simply from the same group of friends, ect. and you hit it off, then I'd say that he's interested in you.

I would just go with the flow and see what happens, so long as you do it with an open mind and try not to over-analyze it. If a guy is into you, he'll make it known, they usually do.

I would tend to say that you will never know unless you ask in a situation like this. But, I agree that more details are necessary to give good advice.

Yes, it would. The age difference makes me think that he's just being nice and he's trying to encourage you. Maybe he sees something in you and he wants you to know that he wants you to do your best. He wants to be someone positive to you.

I would not suggest approaching a 24 year old man to see if he's interested in you. At 16 I was getting a drivers license, thinking about finishing highschool and what to do after highschool. At 24 I was married, owned my home and had my first child. I doubt this man is romantically interested in you. If he does happen to be, you should steer clear.

Continue accepting his friendship. He's trying to be nice to you. My advice is to leave it at that.

Yes. Honestly, I would be very wary of a 24 year old who was pursuing a 16 year old romantically.

It could be that he's being nice, in a mentor/older brother type way. Or it could be that his intentions with you are less than honourable.

Don't look for more with him. You should focus on school and being a kid, relationships should come after all of that, especially with someone who's much older than you.
