Do you want to be more than friends with him?

[Sonador101]

See I kind of want to, but I can't one: cause niether he nor I are allowed to date,
Two: he's like 45 min drive away (we talk all the time though)
Three: I really am not sure he wants to be all romantic with me, he's twelve I'm 13 I mean he'll be 13 in spetember but still.
But I just want to know what my ffeeling is.

Well if you can't date you can't date can you... Your very young just continue to be friends and see how the feelings progress over the years.. If you still feel the same way in a few years then it might be an idea to act on your feelings. In the meantime have fun and enjoy your life :) good luck

I agree... your very young still, take time slow and see what happens in the coming years.

Since you are so young enjoy and build on your friendship now and see where it goes in the future. If nothing else you have a best friend for years to come.

Is there a name for this feeling..

What you're feeling is a type of love. There are several. Yours appears to be Fraternal Love.

The original Greek names for love are:

• Philios love - Brotherly love, fraternal love (Philadelphia = City of Brotherly Love)
• Storge love - affection, like for a puppy, or between real-life relatives
• Eros love - erotic love, passion for another person (Eros is the Greek god of love)
• Agape love - unconditional loving kindness for someone, or for all, godly love, selfless love

Your human, and have feelings and that's normal, but there is nothing you can do about it, nor should you. Just give yourself time to understand your feelings at this time.
