#1 Question in the world ;)

[smiley1979]

There's this guy I like and I think he likes me, too. I've only talked to him a couple of times and not for long. When I was at Bible Study, he sat between me and another man. There were other seats he could've sat in but he chose to sit there. Every time I spoke he looked directly at me. He was constantly looking out the window which was past me. There wasn't anything outside, I checked. lol. Whenever someone asks me questions he also manages to ask me questions.

 

Anyway, we both volunteer at the same place every Sunday so I will probably see him this Sunday and I was wondering if and how I should approach him? I don't want to ask him out yet plus I'd prefer if he asked me out if he likes me. I want to be able to talk to him without a group of people around. Whenever I see him we're usually in a group like Bible Study or volunteering.

 

I volunteered Sunday night and when I entered the building he was there so I said "hi" and he said "hi, how are you?" So I responded but then I went into the kitchen because I was too nervous to stay there and think of something to say. But later when I was standing by myself he came up to me and started talking asking questions. This time I talked to him and I tried to give longer answers and I asked him some questions, too. He was standing in my personal space but I didn't mind. Just before he left for a few minutes he touched my arm and said I'll see you in a few minutes, ok.

 

He wasn't at Bible study last week so I emailed him and reminded him about Bible study this week and he thanked me for emailing him and he did show up at Bible study this week. Just before we were leaving he told me he had received my email and I told him I got his email, too. Then we talked for a bit.

 

Some of the people from Bible study told us that there was going to be music at the church the next night and he came. I arrived before him. I was talking to a female friend and when he came in he came and talked to us. We were talking about when we were younger and I said " When I was little" (I'm short). He said "When you were little?" teasing me. Then the three of us went to where the music was. I sat down first and he followed me and sat next to me.

 

We were all sitting down for a while and a bunch of people stood up to worship but I didn't because I wanted to see if he would stand up when I stood up. So I waited a few more minutes for another song before I stood up. When I stood up, he stood up, too. Somehow we managed to stand closer together. I felt his arm brush against me. A few minutes later he tapped me on the shoulder and told me he would be back in a minute.

 

He went to talk to mutual friends. They were across the room from where I was. I kept looking over where he was. He finally turned around and we both made eye contact for a few seconds. He smiled. He always has a sparkle in his eyes.

 

After we were finished praying, I went and sat with him. Then we were talking to one of our mutual friends and I noticed him checking me out, I think. He was looking at me feet. Then our mutual friend asked him a question and he didn't respond right away. Earlier, I noticed him looking at my hands. This was out of the corner of my eye.

 

So the big Question is, do you think he likes me? I mean, do you think he wants to start a meaningful relationship with me? How can I tell without asking him? Are there any signs? He's kind of shy.

Sounds like true love in bloom to me. I think if I were in your shoes I wouldn't rush things. Flirting is half the fun. Maybe you could drop some hints that would give him an opportunity to suggest some time together, just the two of you. You know, stuff like "I'd really like to see such-and-such movie", or "I'd really like to try that restaurant.";)
