i like you! get it?

ok there is this guy ive known since kindergarden and he is sooooo nice to me! flirts with me and is just amazing! but says he "doesnt like me" which i think is crock! but anyway i want to find out if he likes me but doesnt want to tell me cause if we go out and break up it would make things awkward or does he not actually like me and hes just a really nice guy! urrr!
