okay so, i've known this guy my entire life. i've been best friends with his two younger brothers forever! never really got to talk to him much until this past year. we talk all the time and i really started to care about him... but he's away right now working in another country. he's been away for almost a year. he came back a few weeks ago and took me to his older brothers wedding. he was back for a couple weeks and hes gone again. we spent a lot of time together while he was here and even hooked up. he's always telling me he likes things about me and giving me compliments. so here's my problem, he comes home soon for good, and i really care about him a lot. as a friend and even more. but i'm really afraid to ask him if he wants something more because i dont want to ruin a friendship by making it awkward if he isnt looking for something more. especially because im so close with his family already.
his friends say he talks about me a lot over where he lives. the only problem i see is there is an age difference that some of his girl friends dont like. im a little bit younger than him and they have no problem expressing their opinion about it freely to me. so i guess my question is, should i approach him about this when he gets home? or just stay friends? its such a complicated situation and im terrified of losing such a great friend. we have so much in common and he's really a great guy.
please help!!!

Sounds like a good plan...
And I would ignore his catty female friends too...
Sorry. I forgot the part about what to do when he gets back... See how you feel about him then. You might meet someone who will sweep you off your feet while you're waiting for him to come back. If you still like him, then you can always test the waters like snafu said in the other post.
