What happened here?

Recently at University I joined a film society club that one of my good friends started. When I'm there I basically just watch a movie and then hang out with people the rest of the time. When I was there my friend who founded the club introduced me to one of her male friends who she had talked about before, but never met. I talked to him quite a bit after the movie, mostly just about school and nerdy stuff like video games. I talked with several other people that night as well. He seemed like a decent person, although it's difficult to tell by first meeting someone.

Fast forward two weeks, and I went to film night again. The same guy came a bit later and nonchalantly sat by me. I didn't really think much of it because finding seats is meaningless. During the movie, I fell asleep because I had pulled an all-nighter the day before. I just happen to wake up to an elbow in the ribs. He told me to wake up and smiled at me because I acted a bit startled. He apologized later after I told him that I had going off of caffeine and 30 hours of not sleeping. After the movie ended, I started talking to this guy and a few girls, but the girls just went off in their own conversation, so I ended up talking to this guy about random stuff for quite some time. He was also surprised that I had turned 18 only recently because he thought I was older. Her is 19 or 20. Later, I started talking with him and the two girls and he was talking about some movie marathon, when he put his head on my shoulder for a few seconds. The guy was pretty cute, but I found this mostly weird because I have met him twice. If one of my close guy friends had done this I wouldn't think anything of it.

Since I'm really bad at reading people, would anyone know why this guy was acting like this? I can't tell if he is interested in me or if he is just weird and acts like this around everyone. The situation wouldn't even be strange if I actually knew him well.

sounds like flirting to me. how serious the flirting is will unfold as you two get to know each other better.

He's into you.

Definitely flirting

what an odd way to flirt, putting his head on your shoulder?
I could see a girl doing that, I'm just trying to picture it ...

I agree, that is why I found it to be so strange. I see girls do that all the time, but rarely guys. I'll have to see how this guy acts around me at future meetings. I talked to my female friend from my OP's younger sister, and she would ask my friend if that is weird or if this guy acts like this around a lot of girls. Overall, I'll have to get to know him better, even though I found quite a bit about him during the last two meetings. He is a science/video game nerd like me, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Good luck
