PLEASE HELP A GIRL OUT
so i've liked this guy since feburary. and i actually have no idea when i started liking him, but we were always really close friends, we got really close very quickly, and i dont know exactly when my feelings developed to good friends to oh i like him! and then basically we always talked and hes a very touchy guy in general and i've never noticed this but im like one of the only girl friends that he has, and hes never touchy with any of his other girl friends its like specifically me, and i never really thought much of it, because it was always like a tap on the back or the shoulder, a pat on the head, or like a forehead flick right... but anyway like a month ago he told me that he liked this girl from his school and they were talking bcs she showed interest in him first etc, but the thing is he seemed kinda conflicted abt the whole thing and he came to me for advice but he wasn't very open/clear to me abt his true feelings! and i was planning on confessing to him soon because hes leaving soon for the summer and stuff and like friday was the last day i saw him, and i casually asked abt the girl and he kinda js avoided the topic said things like oh i dont wanna talk abt it and he kinda seemed upset abt it which made me not confess to him cs i didnt wanna put more burden on him! and so i was planning on just texting him later this week or next week and telling him abt this, or im meeting him in july as a big group hangout and i was thinking about just confessing to him in person! hes a very outgoing person, and since i'm not a guy i don't know what he would prefer and what i should do. PLEASE HELP ME.
