Take it slowly. One step at a time. He may have been teased about liking you, or other girls, so much in the past that he is embarrassed to admit it now.
If you have an opportunity to spend time with him, do so. You mention that you live in the same neighborhood. Do you know his parents...? Does he know your parents...? Talk to your folks about the boy. They have been through this whole thing of meeting someone they like and they know things that you do not.
You could try inviting him to a party. If he sees that he is not being singled out for your attention, he may be more at ease.
If you get a chance to talk to him, don't overwhelm him by saying "I like you!" right off the bat. You could say "You're nice." (Pretend to be surprised to learn that.)
Do the two of you go to the same school...? Are you in any classes together...? If you study together, that is not quite the same as a date, but it might put some ideas in his head. If you don't need any help in your classes, ask him for help in a class where he could actually use some help. That way, you are less likely to embarrass him, and it can be of some benefit to him. He will appreciate that, believe me!
Don't rush things. It is wonderful to have a special friend, and most people have several throughout their lives. Just like anything worthwhile, it takes time to get to know someone really well, to know what you have in common and where you have strengths that the other does not have. These things can lead to lasting friendship and even romance. But take your time. Don't force things. Good Luck!

You sound pretty young. You're going to fall in like many many times in your life. Sometimes 'like' is just 'like,' and nothing comes of it.
You say you know this guy likes you for sure? How, if he has always been avoiding you?
He may have reasons, maybe he is not ready to deal with his feelings, or maybe his crush has died down.
Whatever, I think he is sending you a clear message there is not going to be any relationship.
Move on. Who knows, maybe in a year or two, he might be more mature, and you can be friends...if you are still interested.

What you should do depends upon your intentions of course. So far, all you've said is he likes you, he lives close to you & he doesn't want you to know. Have you thought about your own feelings in the matter? Have you based your compatibility on something besides: He likes me; He lives close to me.?

Leave him alone. He doesn't want you to know because he's not ready to have a girlfriend yet. He may continue to like you for some time before he's ready to call you his girlfriend. Best thing is to be his friend.

tell him i think your dead sexy. he only is being childish and avoiding you now because he has low self esteem and thinks you might think hes a dork or whatever. Make him feel good, even if you dont like him like that, at least make him think you do. Boys feed off their ego.

You should ask him if he thinks that this is the appropriate category for this question.
