I think I like him for real?

So there is this hilarious kid that I meet in 5th grade. We were good friends and were kind of in a group with 3 other kids and hung out at the park after school all the time.in 6th grade we went out with each other 2 times. I ended up breaking it off both times because I was to young to have a boyfriend and it was awkward. He moved away and we would always text once in a while. Then we stopped texting. For about a half of a year. Last night me and my bestfriends (2 of his old friends aswell) got bored and thought it would funny to text flirt with him. So we did then I saw that I missed him and I like him again, but for real. Btw I'm in 8th grade.... Is that stupid to like him again since I ended both times? Do you think if you liked me would you come back a 3rd time?boys opinions would really help. Oh btw don't say I'm to young to date. Everyone who says that is to old to know.
