Does he like me or not?

Hey I know this is trite but I just wanted to get some advice on this guy I'm crazy about... I think he likes me but I'm not sure. Most people I tell about him say yes definitely, but I don't know. He hasn't asked me out or anything yet but has been (I think) flirting with me for about six months now. See here's the deal, we don't go to school together (I'm homeschooled), we just go to church together. He is the pastor's son, no less. But anyway I liked him right when i met him, and thought he was the bomb. I've been through periods where I haven't like him at all, but I always wind up just loving him more. In sunday school and wednesday class he comments on everything I say, well actually not really comments but kind of makes fun of what I say... see the thing is, he makes fun of or comments on EVERYTHING I say. I mean it's like he's always listening to what I say, and I figure if he pays that much attention to me then he might like me, cause I hardly ever pay attention to people i don't care about. And even sometimes I'll ask him something pretty quietly (I'm sort of a low talker) and he'll hear me and immediately start listening, even if he was in a conversation with someone else. One time I was talking to this other guy in church and telling him that this other girl liked him and *he* immediately came over and asked what we were talking about, and I thought that was a little fishy. And he stares at me ALOT. Not so much in class anymore, but he used to stare at me a lot in class, until one time I just stared back at him until he looked away and I think that kind of made him scared or something, I don't know. But the other day I and some of the other girls sang a special, and as we were coming back to our seats I looked at him and he was just staring at me really instensely, it kind of scared me actually. And the other day my friend and I were going out to sit in the car and listen to music and he followed me out there (he was following really closely as I recall) and started joking about how he was going to get in and then he went, "not!" and then he did it again in a few seconds, and then he goes, "no hold on I wanna give you a present" and he puts a wadded up stirofoam cup in the back seat, and I just went, "Oh, thank you!" and then some little kids came out there and he started asking me if I remembered when they threw rocks at the truck; and he does that constantly, asks me if I remember stuff that's happened in the past, it's cool. But anyway my original question was why doesn't he just ask me to be his g/f if he likes me? does he even like me? I mean it seems to me like he does cause he doesn't treat other girls the way he does me, except for maybe his sisters, but the way he treats me is much more overblown. I'm wondering if his father being the pastor has something to do with it, maybe he's afraid his dad will find out and be mad if he knows we're b/f and g/f, I don't know. I'd kill for some suggestions thought. onh one thing i forgot to mention, it's weird when i try to be nice to him he like acts all weird like it makes him uncomfortable and kind of blows me off, and then when I just ignore him totally he's flirting up a storm. I don't know what to think.

You should just take a chance. It sounds like you have a shot with this guy so ask him if he maybe wants to go out for coffee or something sometime. What can it hurt? If he likes you it could turn into a relationship. Even if not, he'll just assume it's a friendly thing and want to hang out anyway! Go for it!
