Why have I always liked this boy?

Question

There is a boy who I have had a crush on since the third grade. We were like best friends and in 6th grade he asked me out and I said yes. We dated for like 4 months then broke up but we were still good friends. In 7th grade we didn't talk at all because we were on different sides and I think we even hated eachother, but literally everybody always came up to me and make jokes and told me that I liked him and they still do, even when I didn't like him at all. For some reason I started likin him again at the end of the year, and it was like I couldn't even control. Now in 8th grade we are friends again but people still say that I like him, even when I liked other people at the time and even told people about it. He is a perv and extremely annoying but no matter how hard I try to not have a crush on him, I still do. It's like something inside of me makes me like him even when I hate him at the sme time. Can anyone explain this?

Answer 1

trust me

best thing

Answer 2

Since you've been friends so long, you know a side of him most people don't and you still see that side. That's why you like him.

Answer 3

You still like him after all the years, because you care for him,  but when he got you mad you hated him for whatever he did to you. You can't get him out of your mind because you still have feeling for him.
