I've posted on here before, about this very subject. However, a lot has happened since May. Let me start by saying I turn 20 next month & he's about to turn 43. He is married & also my friend's father. I am VERY close w/ their family, so I would never do anything to jeopardize his marriage or his family. I don't even try to let on that I like him. His family honestly has no idea, but I think he might suspect I have a crush on him. I've known his daughter (my friend) for over a year & known him a little over 8 months.

I want to also say that although I don't plan on messing up his marriage or his family, I don't like the way he's treated by any of them. I love his wife to death, but she can be really mean to him. She'll call him names & threaten to hit him (although she probably never would) & yells at him a lot (I've seen it for myself). Also, my friend always gets smart w/ him & it almost seems she can never say anything nice TO him or about him. Whenever they treat him this way, he always looks so sad & it hurts me, because he's a total sweetheart to me. He can be a smarta**, but who isn't?

He seems attracted to me too & I've been trying to figure out this entire time whether he actually has a crush on me or not. He'll stare at me often (sometimes when he thinks nobody is looking & other times, he'll just let me catch him), he'll have really intimate eye contact w/ me; he smiles at me or around me, he'll try to flirt w/ me or use any excuse to talk to me, he says my name a lot; he's pretty quiet in general, but he seems shy & nervous around me; he tries to make me jealous because yesterday, he was stroking his wife's back & was staring at me & saw that I got jealous; he playfully teases me/picks on me (he doesn't do this to any other of our [me & his daughter's] friends); he has called me a "beautiful soul", told me to "smile more often", praises me when needed; whenever we're walking somewhere, he'll walk behind me & if he ever gets in front of me, he'll make a point out of getting back behind me by doing the "ladies first" gesture; whenever we're around each other, he pays most attention to me; one time I had a status on FB asking people to describe me in 3 words..he said "silly, crazy & sweet" & when I asked him "crazy in a good way, right?" he said "of course baby, of course " ; a couple of times, he has touched my shoulder by playfully, lightly smacking it (not in a bad way lol); etc.

I'm obviously not going to do anything about it, but do you think he might have a thing for me too?

Haha forget the pics.

Don't you all think I've TRIED to find somebody else? I've tried & got rejected.

I'm still in love w/ him. And he still acts weird towards me & extremely confusing.

No, I'm definitely in love w/ him lol. It's been like 6 months since I last commented & the feeling is still stronger than ever & I haven't seen him in almost 9 months. I never, EVER said in any of my postings, that I was going to try to have an affair w/ him or anything. I can't mess anything up if nobody in their family knows how I feel about him.

Easier said than done, believe me.

Yeah maybe. But I haven't seen him in almost a year & I'm still in love w/ it. I wish it was that easy to forget about him. I've had boyfriends since I fell for him, though & I've had infatuations since him, but he's still there in my mind & heart.

Just an update. I am over him. I haven't seen him in 5 years as I moved away from there just after my friend graduated. I've seen his family since then, but he was at work. I might be visiting them in a couple of weeks. I don't know what it'll be like if he's home. He deleted me off of Facebook a couple of months ago. I tried to add him back, he denied it and removed his "Add Friend" option. I have no idea why he's pushed me away completely. I don't dare ask his wife or daughter because they'd want to know why I care.
