Ok, so I have liked this guy since last December, and he's said he likes me too. We don't talk too much at school but we text sometimes. When he does talk to me it's usually about an assignment, but he also brings up reeeaaallly random stuff a lot. He's awfully cute when he tries to talk to me as well.

The bad part is that lately he's been talking to my friend a lot, while at the same time watching me more and laughing at things I say and telling me these not-important-random things and stuff..is he talking to her as a friend or what..? He still says he likes me, he doesn't flirt with other girls, and he's very honest and a great guy. What should I think??? Do guys sometimes not talk to girls they like??? :confused:

My guess is that he likes you, based on the highlighted parts. He's shy, so he doesn't know how to just come up and make small talk, so he's saying whatever wild, wacky things come to mind, even if they have absolutely zero effect on you. It's not that it gives him something cool to say to you, it's that it gives him something to say to you.

 

The friend is probably recon. To get in good with a girl, you generally have to have the approval of her friends. So, since he hasn't gotten any overtly positive reaction from you yet (as far as he's concerned), he's trying another approach. The fact that he still watches you and laughs at things you say are a good indication that it's you he wants and not your friend. Plus, his getting in good with your friend may enable him to get some info about you from her (things you like, things you dislike, type of guy you usually go for, etc.), so it serves a double purpose for him.

 

My recommendation? You make the first move on him.

So do you think I should turn up the flirting and see what happens? :)

Yes, as a shy guy myself, I think he would like it. If your up to it, why not ask him out instead of waiting for him. I love it when girls ask me out.

What he said. If you make the move and ask him out, he'll probably be buzzing over it for the next five months!

if youre going to stay just as shy as he is, nothing between you will ever get done. Make the move and make things happen before he gives up on your and someone else catches his eye - and makes their move on him.

Yep what they all said, and I'm the shy type too.
