Should I keep on trying or should I give up?

Hello everyone, so here's the thing. I've had a crush on this guy for 8 months already, and I think he knows. So here's the story. For the last 5 months we've been chatting almost everyday. We're in the same college, but we are from different countries (I'm studying abroad.) When I went to my home country for 2 months, we chatted almost everyday. I came back because school was starting. At the beginning, I was shy and I felt that he was a little bit shy too. I knew he liked me on that moment, but he didn't know If I liked him back. I told my friend that I liked him, and she told him that I liked him, but know he thinks that I don't know if he likes me or not. For the pass few weeks, he has been acting a little bit strange. Since I knew that he knew, I tried not to talk to him every single day on fb, since I thought that he might find it annoying know that he knows that I like him. But lately, each time that I talk to him on facebook, he has to do something, like I'm going to go out to do something, or I'm going to sleep, etc. Sometimes I think that he is trying to avoid me, or that he is scared of me. When in class, he also hang out more with his friends and he doesn't hang out with me as much as he did lately. I don't know what to do. Am I thinking too much? Has he changed? Is he avoiding me? What should I do? Should I ask him how does he feels about me? But I'm scared that after asking this question, the situation might turn out a little awkward, since he is a good friend and I don't want to lose him as a friend. please help me!!

i'm really sorry that's been happening to you :/ honestly i think that you should comfront him about it. if he doesn't end up liking you, then just move on. personally, i think it's a good thing to just forget about it all. and trust me, you don't want to waste your time on someone who doesn't like you. but anyways, you should talk to him about how you've been feeling. if he doesn't feel the same, that's okay because there's other fish in the sea and there's a guy who's waiting to love you for who you are. good luck and i hope it all goes well! :)
