Then one day, it was just the two of us opening in the front of the store and we started talking. He opened up to me about some of his life and we started connecting. After a week or two, he asked me out to the movies. We went and had an AMAZING time. We opened up to each other about our lives and I connected with him on a level that I never have before with anyone else, even my best friends. We began "talking" and things were great. Then, he said he thought we should take things slower and be friends first. I agreed but asked him what the change was about. He said that it was partially because of our age difference (he's 22 I'm 17). He says that he is ready to settle down and have a family, but he knows I won't be ready for a few years and he honestly doesn't know if he can wait that long and he doesn'twant me to get hurt if things don't work out later on. Well, now things have slowed down quite a bit. We rarely talk anymore outside of work and we never hang out. He acts as if he still likes me when we're at work but it doesn't feel the same any other time. What should I do ? I think I'm starting to fall in love with him and I don't want to lose him.

 How strange the male species are! You should talk to him and be honest with him else you'll just regret it. Just tell him that you do really like him and whilst you are happy to take things slow, you need to know where you stand with him before you let yourself fall for him. He said he was worried about you getting hurt, yet by acting so ambiguous and strange with you he is already hurting you. Let him know. If he has changed his mind about the whole thing and is foolish enough to walk away from a chance of happiness with you, then be smart enough to let him go. There are plenty more lovely boys out there I'm sure! (and a lot of idiots so be careful!) Don't let him mess with your head too much, life is too short. Maybe try and find a different job if things get too hard. Good luck.
