Could this guy like me?

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, there's this senior at my school. He's really popular, and nice, and funny–He completely states his mind, sometimes it's very awkward, but it cracks me up. And he is beautiful. He has these crazy intense, pale-blue eyes, and a goatee.

I'm pretty shocked he started paying any attention to me this year. He wasn't here last year, but he was for my freshman year, and payed no attention to me. In fact, one time, I was talking to him and he just walked off mid-sentence. I sort of didn't like him after that...Well, was bitter he didn't like me, probably.
But this year, we have a class together. It happens to be a wonderful class, with a small group of people. There are only 7 of us.

He didn't really talk to me much, but then he decided to come and sit next to me. And now he sits next to me every day. I want to talk to him, but I never know what to say. We don't talk *too* much, but we often agree on things, and occasionally have a short, playful little conversation...I think it's called flirting. He notices things I do and stuff. The other day, he said he liked my shirt. And when we're talking about this video we're shooting for the class, he brings up my scene a lot, and thinks it's cool I'll throw a suitcase, and we always root for that together. And he kept insisting, at first, I should be the scantily dressed girl. XD

When I got back from the states, he was the first person to greet me, with a big smile, and a "hey! You're back!" And he and I seem to have a bit of a staring thing going on. Whenever something is said between us...There's always often lingering gaze afterwards. I'm not sure if it's because he could like me, or because his eyes have a tendency to stop me from looking away. And I catch him looking at me as we pass in the halls.
I really wish I would speak to him more, and be less uncomfortable.
We do occasionally hang out at lunch, because we have similar friends.
The thing is, he's so nice and flirty with everyone. XD I think the eye staring thing is unique to us, though.

Could he like me? :S

I suppose it's possible. Perhaps early on he didn't 'know' you well enough, that other year.

Well, it seems reasonably clear that he doesn't dislike you. How much he likes you is hard to say. Maybe he just likes you because you are a nice person. Maybe he likes you a little more than that. Maybe a lot more. But it sounds like you get along with him rather well so it seems if you just keep being yourself, he'll probably keep liking you.

If you're still strangers, what does he like about you?

How popular is this guy with other girls ? If they are throwing themselves at him and he still looks at you, then I reckon you could be onto a winner. Watch how he behaves/looks at other girls, are you sure that it's JUST you he looks at in that way ?
At the end of the day you could just ask him to go to a movie together, just to give your own critique , then use your own body language/proximity/personal space to see if things are moving in the right direction. BUT you have to get the balance right. You don't want to throw yourself at him but by the same token most men are not very good at reading "subtle" body language so you really need to think about how you hope to get your message across

Good luck.

How are we supposed to know? I myself have no understanding nor desire to understand romance but I just can't see how we could figure it out any better than you could.

He certainly gives the impression of liking you. How far he's willing to go is harder to guess, but congratulations on the connection, anyway.

I know what you mean, but spare a thought for us guys. When you go through life being blown out more times than a secondhand candle after a while it really hurts, then you either just become numbed to it or give up on relationships.

Here's a thought, Next time he's looking at YOU as you pass in the halls, just give him a faint smile and a wink. If he doesn't respond to that you might need to re-think HIS intentions or bite the bullet, corner him and just bloody well ask !

It sure sounds like he likes you.

And why not. You're beautiful and it sounds like you have laughs together.

Maybe he's flirty with others too but sometimes insecure guys do that. It doesn't mean he doesn't like you - either solely or along with other girls.

I wonder what would happen if you asked him out? What do the guys here think about that?

ETA: Oh I see someone's suggested that. Well, make it something like a Saturday afternoon movie. A goofy one you can both make fun of, maybe. Humor seems to be something he's comfortable with.

A daylight date is less of a 'date date' and then maybe he'd ask you on a 'real' one. He may be longing to ask you out but is scared to. So, break the ice maybe?

If your pics. are anything to go by, then I would take issue with anybody who didn't fancy you.

Damn ! if only I were 30 years younger. ( about myself)
