High School Boy Stuff?

Gah, he only started talking to me a lot sometime last week. Why am I feeling this way? <-wow, classic teenage angst question... I'm out of high school, I shouldn't be doing this. Is it because I think he is interested in me that I am all the sudden feeling so attached to him? I am fine if I haven't seen him in a few hours, but if I am near him, I want a hug so badly. Is that 'cus I haven't been getting very many hugs (especially guy-hugs) lately and I know that I could probably get them from him? A relationship (even worse, a messy "non-relationship") is the last thing I need right now. No one said that just because I hang out with a guy and he texts me at least 10 times a day means I have to date him. Ugh, just the fact that I am volleying this around in my head is so irksome. I find myself wanting to hang out with him, but he just seems like another Robert. Last night I wanted to go to the library to see him, but didn't because I don't want to lead him on (even if it is fun). I guess I just feel threatened because he only just met me. I keep wanting to say "give it time", but that doesn't change the fact that he is constantly in contact with me and that we eat at the same time for lunch and dinner thanks to class and practice schedules. It's rare that I ever allow myself to even see if I like someone. But his friends are kind of weird. I told him I didn't like his friends Saturday night and today he came and sat with me at lunch instead of me seating with him and his friends. And he didn't even sit with them at all at dinner tonight, he sat with a different group, a group that I am kind of friends with. Ok, the more I type, the mroe I think about it, and I don't need to think about it. I should just calm down, relax, and take things as they come. I'm just worried that I don't really like him (that I just am attracted b/c I know he is attracted to me and I am trying to get my value from him, a guy, and not God), and that if I keep hanging out with him, I will be leading him on, and leading him on is just plain mean.
