I can't confess my love! iin?

Should I confess my love if we can't be together?

I'm really in love with this guy. In the beginning he was just a classmate then we started to become friends and gradually I fell for him. He's really funny and laid-back, but he knows when to be serious.

Since I fell in love with him, which is almost a year ago, he's been acting flirty around me. Not always of course, but more than frequently, he would just... flirt. Sometimes in a funny way, but sometimes I don't know if he means it romantically or not. I mean, at first I thought he was just playing around with me and the last thing I want to be is conceited. But for months my friend would tell me that he's flirting with me. Some of my other classmates even suggested that he's in love with me. To this day, I still believe that he doesn't like me in a romantic way, because I've seen him acting like this around other girls as well. Not in the same way, but in a rather similar way he would play around with them, I guess...

He really is unclear about what he says and does.

However, to this point, I don't really care if he likes me or not. I know the word love is a big word, but at this point I'm not crushing any longer. I think about him everyday... I would say I love him, but I know how many peers of me mistreat that sentence and I don't want to be one of those people who call their crush their love. But I've been checking my feelings for over months now and I haven't felt this way before. It's so strong.

I really want to confess, to express my feelings to him. It doesn't matter to me if he doesn't love me back. I know it'll break my heart when he tells me he doesn't love me in that way, but I want to know where I stand from his point of view. It's been irritating me, since he is so unclear and I don't know what going through his mind. If I know what I am to him, I might focus and concentrate better on my studies as well...

So yeah, I'm at the point of confessing my love.

There's just another problem. Which is... due to some circumstances I can't be with this guy. Now I sound conceited as I'm already assuming that he likes me... But I'm just trying to say that there is this possibility that the guy likes me in the same way, more or less. And if he were to like me too and I were to tell my feelings and we could get together, but then tell him I can't be with him, would be extremely stupid, wouldn't it?

So should I confess my love if we can't be together anyway?

We can't be together because of religion. And I also think my mother and father would disapprove of somthing like that. I don't plan on actually being his girlfriend if he likes me, since I can't. That is something I already knew and I accepted, I really can't be with him. Which in itsself isn't that bad, I got used to it. But now I'm in love and there could be this chance that he loves me back.

He often mentions my religion and I mention his, we make jokes about our differences sometimes. Him being a guy, me being a girl, etc. So I think he knows we can't be together.

I just want to breathe more freely and the only way I can do that is through confessing.

However, I believe this is unfair for the guy if he were to love me back... because he could get his hopes up and think we could be together because of my confession.

I just wish I already know what he thinks of me. If he wouldn't love me back, I'd confess, If he would love me back... O_O That's what I'm scared of...
