Like, is it enough for me to be in a relationship with this guy or should I just continue to friend-zone him? Right now, I think he's a great guy. He's so sweet to me, he seems to genuinely care for me-- always striking conversations with me at least once a week, asking me if I'm okay sometimes, listens to me rant and talk about my preferences, always including himself in situations/future plans (for ex: I want to go to the beach with a few friends after school ends and he's like "Oh, hey- can I come with you?"). The thing is, I knew he liked me a few years ago but at the time, I knew it but never really felt the same way about him. Yeah, I liked him but he felt more like a friend. And NOW, I think I'm starting to grow feelings for him, but I'm not sure if he likes me that much right now and if it's really worth starting a relationship right now if I just "like" him? Not to mention, we're leaving in a year to different places, so I feel it'd be hard to work it out. We don't even see much of each other anymore but he always texts me.
If I do consider dating him, how would I ask him out? I apologized to him one time and indicated that I liked him, that I was jealous of this girl who was hanging out in our "little group" who was flirting on him (she would also tell me that she and him "went on a date," but it really wasn't. He just happened to be in the drinks store when she was there and she offered to buy him a drink. When she was telling this story to our group, I left the room feeling uncomfortable and he later asked me if I was okay.) He didn't seem to catch that I liked him, and was jealous of him and this other girl? I don't really know what to do.

He's ten years older than me (yes I am over 18!) if that's helpful in any way. I should preface this by saying I'm super awkward and shy so I don't return much in terms of flirting. I could definitely use some advice about how to do that...Anyway, back to the story. C and I met at church and he asked me for my number not long after we started talking. He also sat next to me after church (we all eat together and stuff). So we talked a lot after giving me his number, for the most part we texted everyday despite the fact that he is extremely busy and has almost no time. Sometimes he just texts me and tells me to have a good day. There was a span of a few weeks where he was gone due to having to travel and we finally met up outside of church when he got back. Well first, we met up at Target oddly enough (it was my suggestion but who knows what I was thinking). At Target, when I said I was here I saw him looking around a lot and he smiled when he saw me. We decided to go to Chipotle and he paid for me which caught me off guard. We sat together on stools and he asked me a lot of questions about me in order to get to know me better I suppose. As I'm not good at talking it's great to have a friend that is able to talk a lot and allows me to interject when I feel comfortable with saying something. I feel pretty comfortable around him as I've gotten to know him. He tended to lean on things when talking and maintained eye contact a lot. For some context, at Chipotle there's a seat that's more "intimate" I guess you could say. He asked to move there after the couple who was there before had left. After hanging out, he drove me home and while looking at the houses on my street he said he'd have to come down in the morning sometime as it would pretty at that time. Also, as we were driving home he pointed out how he hadn't been past some store and how we were going somewhere new together (something like that) and he mentioned to my mom that when he saw me when I first went to church he thought "I have to meet this girl." More context for that part, I go to a Korean church and he said that those were his thoughts after seeing me read Korean. He also messaged me to let me know he was home and to have a good night. Other things he's done is at church when we sit around and he eat he always looks at me even when addressing the whole group. Last night he was also leaning in towards me even though I was sitting next to him and the other people at the table were sitting on the other side. So yeah, give me your analysis I guess.

This is my personal opinion and may not be the answer you're looking for, but this is the one I'm giving you. Take it with a grain of salt.
I understand you are over 18, but you also said this guy in 10 years older than you. I wouldn't go for it because of that fact right there. Men that are older normally go for women, or men depending on their sexuality, because the younger ones don't know better. They don't know what's healthy or not. I'm not saying you're like this, but many people are.
I would wait. I would look for someone closer in age. It is obvious he likes you, but he is much older and that would send a red flag for me.

but, ever since that, my stomach has been bothering me. I can’t eat very well, (a lot anyway), stomach won’t stop hurting, can’t sleep sometimes, and mouth dry. I’ve noticed these things happening ever since. My friend it’s just nerves and it will go away eventually. But when is eventually? These problems are starting to bother me
Thanks to those who can help
