There's this extremely cute guy (in my opinion - I love the geekish kind of look in guys) in my history class who I talk to, and I really like him. I don't know whether he like me though, because it's hard for me to tell if a smile is a gesture of love or just something friendly, or just to be polite. He smiles at me first a lot, and he talks to me even though I'm not in his group of friends. Does he want to be a friend, or a boyfriend (which I'm totally open to at the moment)
I'm 16 by the way, and I think he is too :D

Is he super shy? If not, he will probably let you know his intentions soon enough. If he is shy, it will be harder to tell what he wants.

I'd assume he likes you. I don't know if he wants to be your friend or not.

When I was back in school, a girl gave me a letter, explaining how she felt & that, & no I don't bite people's heads off for giving a letter, as I know about the shy guy, & if you think waiting will help then if he is that shy, trust me he won't ask you out even if he does want to, as he won't want to burst that bubble. He might be going through that, what happen's if you are just been friendly & you find it insulting that he took it from they & maybe wanted more..

It's 2 way's in my eyes, but like I said shy guys, seem's like females don't know how to handle them any more ;)

& are you shy by the way coz you seem to be going through the same thing as the girl who gave me the letter, don't want to make the first move as you think you will look desperate is the term I hear... But ye normally people insult the male for been shy ( as by society that is what people want )...

How often does he talk to you? What does he talk to you about?

He talks to me about three days a week (I met him a month ago), and we talk about school, his art, my writing, and other casual stuff like that.

Shy and afraid of being rejected :/ I tried making the first move before, and lets just say I REALLY wish I hadn't.

This is kind of hard to really figure out. I may be asking a stupid question, but does he make eye contact? Also, what kind of posture does he have while speaking to you? Body language can be quite informational.

Just don't spend forever hoping but never acting. It could be that he feels exactly the same way you do.
I once had a crush, but I was always afraid to approach her. As it turns out she liked me, and about a year later she was with someone. Then she ended up confessing her feeling to me, and it was this huge highschool drama, and by the end of it I kind of hated her.
It was a very sad affair.

As a shy guy, I've had female friends I've liked but never confessed to liking.

You left that part out :), if you think about what happened when you really wish you didn't, you normally get the answer your seeking, do you know what his view is on girls, like has he ever had a GF, I would go down the friend's road, as I don't know what type of first move you made & what your intention was to be a friend or more or what his reaction was.

How does he act around other girls? That`s sometimes a good way to tell if he feels differently about you. If he makes excuses to talk to you, then that`s a really good sign.
Maybe if you start writing notes to each other, you`ll get to know him better than by just talking. :)

The good thing about aspies is that they develop relationships over time, meaning you can become his friend and still eventually get into a romantic relationship.

That's good :D
It's really casual so far, but I will be watching his body language :D

ehh... most aspie body language is gibberish...

the main advantage though is that you can find out a lot about him before even getting romantic.

There is only one surefire way to find out if someone likes you.


ASK THEM.

It's the only way unless they ask you. And if you wait that out, you might miss your chance.
