You need to sit down with him, and calmly tell him how you feel. Tell him you love him and care for his well being, but you do NOT want to be his boss. A relationship doesn't revolve around making rules for eachother, playing parent to one another, etc. He needs to realize that.

Awww...thats so awesome. I just love when guys get all sweet like that. Honestly, tell her the next time you are alone with her. And you will be able to tell if she loves you back just by what she says to you. But don't be scared to tell her, it will probably turn out to be a great thing!!:)

Think of it this way; she had the guts to come out and say she liked you. She had to face rejection and damage to the friendship. If you want to be with her, you're going to have to risk it.

If you're having to wonder if you love him, then don't tell him "I love you" back ;) That is a very special phrase, that should only be used if you are being honest.

If you don't know whether or not you love him, then you're not ready to love him yet. Wait until you KNOW that you do.

When I was 16, I was in love. Pure and simple. So many times I heard "It's not real love, you'll grow out of it." In some sense, I did, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't true love to me. It was what I was capable of at the time.

Real love is like being best friends. It's patient and kind. You spend time together because you truly enjoy each other's company. You don't sit around and worry about whether he/she like you or how long the friendship will last because there's enough trust and acceptance that you don't need to question things. Infatuation is a powerful, intense emotion that grabs you and doesn't let go. It's like a drug. It feels like it will last forever, but in reality it only lasts a short time.

Everyone you ask will tell you love is something totally different from what you will eventually decide it is for yourself, so don't forget to take every answer you get with a grain of salt.
