We're friends and we hang out, but he's too scared to get involved. Do I wait it out?

Help, I'm STILL trying to figure this guy out (and just wanna say thanx to everyone who has given me advice so far). Anyway, we are 16, kinda friends and I've liked him for like 6 months now. We hang out once in a rare while. He's been hurt before (like a year ago) and is scared to get involved. So I've been just there as a friend, but giving him little hints that I still like him and finally he asks to hang out again. We do and this time while he's here he holds me and kisses me and acts like he likes me. (The other times we just acted like friends the whole time).

He still doesn't ask me out though.

I write him a short email just saying jokingly, can we pretend we didn't hang out so we can do it again and that he is so sweet and he doesn't even reply.

In school he isn't exactly ignoring me, but he seems distant. I don't understand him at all, if he didn't want to hang out, why did he ask to, if he's not interested why did he hold me? (he made the first move, not me)

Should I confront him about his feelings towards me, or just keep being a friend and hope he will eventually ask me out?

x_pixie_x agony auntI think you should give him a little space. You seam like you coming over too clingy, give him time and space and he might figure out that he doesn't like ‘not’ being with you, because he's lost your clinging and might ask you out!
