Focus on the intellect piece. I would just tell him how much I have learned from him and that you want him to mentor you. Older guys really strive to lead by example. Focus on the Physical is so common nowadays, so try alternative approach. It works...\nI would not focus on expressing my feelings directly because they may take it as just a temporary infatuation and younger girls do have tendency to look for a "father figure". and it does come across as just a crush. so if you want more, you need to show him that you are actually interested in having intellectual discussions with him and it will just grow from there.

Listen! First of all promise me that you'll select my answer as the best answer! good!...so lets get to the point! You see dear as a guy I can for sure say that he would've meant it as well...ie that he loves you...now how much? that is the question....but it is for sure that he loves you! Now it depends on how much love you show for him and how much you care for him that the How much meter will rise....ie He'll love you even more.....Listen dont boggle your head off......I am pretty much sure that he does love you...and you love him & thats even more important...allright! now u c at times guys take time to get into deep love as such! Its just a matter of time....but make no mistake they are still in love! so go ahead....and everything will happen perfectly....sorry that I didnt aswer the other ones cos' I feel that this is enough in your case

perhaps you can say it without a single word. you can give him attention more than usually, take good care, always be there when he needs you, or some sort like that. love does not always came through words.

by the tone of your question, he is taking too long for you, so with the age difference he probably won't try to approach you.  If you are sure you want him..... then just tell him....you only live once!

Actions speak louder than words.  Being there for him is a big thing, and accept him for who he is.  Make him feel important.  Tell him often that you love him, especially when you are looking into his eyes.

Tell him how you feel, if he feels the same then you guys can begin being more then frends, if he doesnt feel the same way oh well atleast he is still your Best

Kill two birds with one stone - send him a birthday card and enclose a letter explaining how you feel. Don't go over the top when you pour out your feelings though - keep it to the point and simple. Then just leave the ball in his court - he'll come to you.

Find creative ways to show him that he is worthy to have you by his side

spend as much time with him as you can before he passes, you will appreciate that later....after grief however you please and get on with you life instead of dwelling on his death...more than likely it is what he would want and im sure he'd be proud of you

Time will come until he/she realize that you really care for him/her. Like being respectable and honest. Show that he/she's really impotant and meaningful to your life.

Visit with him, and be there with him. That will show you you really care..

Patience and remember when you were that old how much the attention of someone older meant to you. Go do something you both enjoy and make your own space for when you just can't stand the little blaggard anymore.
