Hi, I am a 15 year old AS boy and 8 months ago I started talking to a NT who is 4 years older than me. He is the best person I have ever met and I can feel there is alot of chemistry between us. I told him how I feel about him but he says he doesnt feel the same way. He says he sees me just as a very good friend, but I am sure that he is just afraid to admit it because we talk atleast 4 times a week and there is something between us that I have never felt before. He might start University in September and I will be starting Year 11, which is a big gap but I am sure we could work around it because we have such a good chemistry. I dont know what to do because I have not felt like this for anyone before but he keeps telling me we are just friends. What should I do if he does not admit that he likes me even though I think he is just scared. I have no one else to ask to I am asking everyone on this forum, he is the only person I ask to help me and I have never known someone for as long as we have known each other and I just want us to be together. How do I get him to admit it

Sound like there's nothing else you can do about it. He's not admitting reciprocal feelings - that's kind of the end of it. You could bring up to him that you think he's just scared to admit it and the fact that you're underage might be a problem, and the distance, but you think you can work around all of them, and see what he says then. If none of that convinces him, then there's not really anything else you can do except move on.

well there are two main things

first your age is an issue and given your age its entirely realistic he doesnt see you in terms other than friends.

second it way well be that you are misplacing feelings and making more out of things that is really there. its a very easy thing to see what you want to see particularly so when feelings are involved

even if he does feel the same way if you look at it from his point of view how hard would it be for someone to claim he took advantage of you, you an aspie 15 year old. thats go to jail stuff if say your parents found out and were unimpressed

Actually, being underage is not nearly as much of an issue in Britain as it is in America. Quite apart from which if he's going into year 11, he'll be 16 soon.

He may not be attracted to you regardless of your age, or maybe because of your age.

If I were him I would have the same reaction.

You can keep trying but if he really is not attracted to you he will probably find it annoying or even alarming and it may damage your friendship.
