I don't think its weird, because if he hasn't asked you out, yet... It means hes not a perv. He understands that its a taboo and respects you enough not to put you in that situation. But it really does depend on your age and his age.

Let's say you know he's not a perv, lets say he's your friend:

If this is the case then hanging out with you is 1 hint he likes you. If he was born in a different decade and lives a different lifestyle since he is older and still has time to find stuff you two have in common he is probably at least a little interested (even if he mainly sees you as a friend.)

If he's shy around you it shows maturity and is a hint he likes you because he doesn't want to scare you away or make you uncomfortable. And if he's a bit nervous that's a sign.

Look for these hints:

He gives friendly hugs that end up having a romantic touch.

He laughs nervously or watches you from a distance (if you are already together that day, not in a wierd way.)

He talks about things that two people of different ages can have interest in.

He makes reasons to touch your hand or shoulder.

He flirts in a subtle manner.

He keeps in contact with you and mentions doing "something" again soon.

He trys to impress you with humor, knowledge, etc. and seems sensitive to how you respond.

He leans slightly from side to side as he walks: guys do this why they feel confidence that they are sexy.

He holds the door for you, pays for your meal, offers you his seat.

He hugs you an extra time next time he sees you.

He trys to remain close to you when you are walking with him.

You sense that you to both know there is something more to your relationship, which can be very romantic.

If you smile more, your smile makes him smile, he likes seeing you when your happy and trys to make you laugh.

He has looked deeply into your eyes.

He sends you a message really late at night, he's thinking about you at the end of the day.

He writes you from work.

He treats you gently.

He may not feel comfortable asking you out since he's older, so he'll find reasons for the two of you keep seeing each other.

I dond't' think 10 years is a large age gap, you are nearly the same generation, you might have slightly different tastes in music and movies, and you might like to text message where he would prefer to talk in person or on the phone, seemingly little things unless you place a lot of importance on it.

If you are only 16, and this guy is 26, I don't think he is a perv, but he may be very immature for his age if he is attracted to a girl your age as the younger you are the more important the 10 years becomes, but once you reach adulthood, say 21 or so, the age difference is not nearly as significant because you may have caught up to him in maturity.....

The main thing to look for is does he respect you and is he your friend, not inappropriate touching or pressure to get physical too soon or at all for that matter until you get to feel comfortale with him.

TELLULAH agony auntHi

Yes I agree with SHANDY POP. It really does depend on your age. My friend married a man when she was 17 and he was 34. Nobody thought it would last, but they are still together almost 30 years later.

If you are very young and this man is pervert it is better to find out now.

Take care XX

Hi.

I need more information. You don't state how old you are. Ten years isn't a great amount. My friend and her bloke have 21 years between them but she was 30 when they met. It's not everyones cup of tea but you can't help who you fall in love with. If you are 16 and he is 26 then you have to remember there may be places that you can't go in because you are under 18. There are a lot of pluses and minuses but at the end of the day it is up to you. No everyone is a Perv.If you fall in love with him in the future you will have to ignore some of the comments.

Take care
