i'm 17 years old, i'm a senior, and i have a one year old son, me and the mother have been through a lot of stuff but it just didn't work out. even though i'm only 17 i've been through a lot of stuff and seen a lot of things. i'm a laid back person most of the time and get along with everyone. i turn 18 in july. i was planning on just chilling this year when it came to the ladies but about a month after this year started i was in 4th period about 5 minutes from the bell ringing, i had just came downstairs to the gym from the weight room. our gym got two weight lifting classes and two pe classes all at once so the gym was always full. i was putting my jewelry on when this freshman came up and introduced herself to me and was like she like me and want to talk to me. i didn't think nothing of it i was just gonna add her to my f*** buddy list but as the days went by she was waving at me in the halls every time she seen me and was witting me notes and then even started waiting for me by the door in the morning till i get there and walk with me. even to the point where her step mom and her dad broke up and she was supposed to move with her dad but stayed with her step mom cause of me. talking led to flirting and flirting led to dating. we eventually became the Angelina and brad pit of our school lol. all of the girls that i just used to mess with really hate her and all of the boys that been wanting her really hate me. we could of been the cutest couple if there was that category in our yearbook. we've had one or two disagreements but we're still really close. the problem is we can only see each other in school cause her step mom don't like me cause i got a son. her real mom and her dad does like me (for whatever reason) but she don't live with any of them. i really like her and she likes me too shes even told me she loved me a couple of time while texting each other but i don't say it back, she would text something like "you know i love you right? let me chill." then i would say something like "aww you so sweet". she has never asked me why i haven't said it back or anything. i've used that word before and it didn't turn out good (how i ended up with my son) so i haven't said it to her even though i have strong feelings for her. but now its the end of the year and i'm gonna graduate and shes just a freashman. i don't know what do to and she don't either. what should we do?
please any advice will help.
