maybe from the start u are wrong,in leaving a trail for him to
follow.whether ornot it is intentionally,it is best u do some
soulsearching abt urself.
if u find out u dun really "love" him,juz try to bring up the topic
while u were chatting wif him den try to express it.or u can be
very direct and ask him whether ornot he like u,den u tell him how
u feel
i guess u are rather troubled thatif u told him abt ur feelings,he
would stop giving u the kind of "affection" he is giving u
now
juz my 2cents worth
god bless all
