Well me and her talk almost everyday and most of the time she is the one who calls me, but i still am not sure of her feelings. At times i just want my feelings for her to go away but i cannot. We hang out alot but never really talked about anything close to a relationship. I fear that I have gone into the gray area in which i just am the guy friend she can trust. Any advice in either how to make my feelings go away or whether i should act upon my feelings and just go for it?

I dunno how things work in your culture, but back home in Haiti women are terribly prejudiced against younger men. If that's anything like where I'm from then she probably considers you only as a friend and wouldn't consider dating you.

However, if she can look past your age and see you and a person independent of your chronological age then I'd say she may be interested. Nevertheless it is better to err on the side of caution and assume she's not interested rather than let your feelings be known and get shot down with the whole "I like you more as a friend" bullshit women feed us when they turn us down but want to keep us around as a shoulder to cry on.
