( I had to repost because of a spelling error in a title )

Right from the start I just want to say that I am not perfect, I am not the kindest and I am emotionally unstable, but I know my flaws and I am working my butt off to feel as a decent person and so I can also behave as one.

(I am a female who just turned 16 month ago)

But I there is this one guy. Let's call him Jim.

Jim is a brother of my classmate (F) and he is also a classmate of my best friend (M). When I first met Jim, everything went fine, we talked a lot And everything seemed cool. But I started to talk to him more, I went on a few family trips with him and his parents ( without his sister ) and started to work with him. We went to a theater few times, because he is an actor and he said he had one or two spare tickets for me. So i went. Always as a friend. My mom and my friend (F) kept telling me he liked me but I always brushed it off. Well, when I saw my best friend, he told me, that when they were in class, Jim talked about me and his classmates asked him, if he liked me. He said yes. And I didn't and still don't know how to react. It happened to me many times but this is like. Idk. He Is not attractive in any way (at least for me). Don't want to go into detail with this because I hate to talk about it but I hope you understand what I mean. I told him (before I knew that He said what He said) that I have a date. And He started talking and asking not about the other boy, but about him. That he is my best friend and asked if He Is in my "top 3 husbands" ( part of the conversation but he asked multiple times even tho I politely said no which made me uncomfortable ). The worst part Is, that He Is Always like that. Like He Is in theater. That He Is a main character. Always talks about himself And saying that He Is perfect And the best And other people are thrash. He also says I am perfect too but I strongly disagree with that, because I don't always act nice to other people and I have my own demons and issues and hearing this makes me anxious so I just jokingly say "i know". When I said he always talks about himself I really ment He talks Always. Like every. single. second. I talk a lot too but this is hardcore. He sucks my energy out like a vampire even though I, as a extroverted being, should gain energy from talking to people. Now, when I just think of him, I see all the red flags and I am really anxious mainly about when I am going to see him next time. I don't want to. I am scared. I don't know what to do. Please help my tragic-teen-me ...
