Before we starting spending time together, he was always nice to me and he asked me to go out. At that time, I didn't have feelings for him . however, now that I do, I hang around with him all the time and it's becoming rather awkward. He no longer sends me funny vid links or music he likes. He avoids me at school and he always wonder why another friend always "rejects" him. When I "reject" him, though, he never seem to realize. We used to hug, he used to put his arm around me. But last week I tried to hug him and he backed off. He never puts his arm around me anymore. He used to make fun of me: he said if I was scared watching movie, I could hold his hand... And now he's cold and he doesn't realize my existence. I feel hurt and uncertain. What's going on?

You are at an age where some relationships can sometimes be lasting and alter your life. Yet in less strong relationships the relationship can be fleeting, start off warm and instead of warming up, the relationship just withers away to cold.
I am very sad to say that in this instance that appears to have happened. Try not to take it to heart. There are millions of
wonderful people out there. And any one of those wonderful people can eventually come to mean a great deal to you. And warm your heart in the future.
We learn a little more about ourselves with every relationship.
Some people are steadfast in their affections and never waver.
But others fall in love and out of love very quickly and their 'affections' are fickle and short lasting. You will learn to quickly identify and recognise the difference, in time, with your future interactions with others.
