New relationship type question...?

So, I've been friends w/him for about the past 2 years, hanging out@parties but then he went to college, so we didn't see each other for about a year. He was back in town&I needed a prom date so I asked him&he accepted. We had a total blast. We ended up going to a hookah lounge after&hanging out w/some friends of mine. After my friends left we hung out there for about an hour more, watching King Kong but w/no sound because there was music playing. We had so much fun making up ridiculous dialogue for the movie. Then we left cause he had to get home&we ended up kissing/making out in the car. (I started it.) I started to kiss his neck but he stopped me. I was ok with it telling him thank you for being so chivalrous. So, from that night we've talked a little bit on the phone but I want a relationship but I don't know where he stands. I haven’t asked. He lives an hour away and I'm leaving for France for a year in 3 months. I want something but I don't want to scare him. What's next?He's only a year older and total ok with that aspect of the relationship- or whatever it is.NO, I did not sleep with him. We only made out. Even then he STOPPED ME!

He probably feels awkward because of the age difference. I know he's not much older than you, but he's in college and your in high school. The social pressures of college life can make him feel reluctant to enter a relationship that might be looked down on by his peers.You have an entirely different issue to think about, though. You're going to France. That's awesome, congratulations. You're going to have a blast. I'm having a great time in Italy. Don't try to get yourself into a serious relationship before you go. You don't really have time to build the type of connection you would need for a long distance relationship, especially considering you're leaving the continent. You're going to be in a totally different country experiencing things you never have before. Being in a long distance relationship could cause you to miss out on some of those experiences, and at the very least it will put stress on that relationship.I'd recommend that you just let your relationship with him go on hold for a while. After you get back from France you'll both be in college and things will have a much better chance of working out.
