Boy Problems..., the usual Options

[stenni]

Okay so I'm almost sixteen (in less than a month) and I'm totally crushing my older brother's best friend who is going to be seventeen in June. So the age difference isn't that big. He is a junior and I'm a sophomore. So we do talk once in a while, like whenever he comes over or we give him rides places. We do flirt a little but I dont know if it's in a casual your my bud's sis i better be nice to you kind if way. At school he'll smile at me and say hi and stuff. I don't know if he is attracted to me at all but I want to find out. The problem is I'm really shy and don't want to go over and say "I like you" or have my brother tell him. If he doesn't like me I don't want it to be awkward afterward. So I'm wondering how I can find out if he has any feelings at all for me without making my intentions obvious.

Thanks so much
