HeartSprinkles Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 My question is very simple...does he like me? I am 22 years of age, and I sound like I am in Junior High. Here is the short version of the story... I have recently been liberated from a long relationship, as recently as November. I am feeling really good about myself and I really enjoy being single. I am in college, so I see people all the time, but last semester I met a guy that really changed my mind. We were taking a higher level course at the time and we studied together with other friends often before exams. At this point I was really liking him and then he dropped the bomb...he had a girl friend. I just told myself to forget about it and remember what being single was all about. The semester progressed and we talked before class all the time. He would always get there early to talk and work with me. The semester came to a close and we registered to take a new class together this semester. Here is the new semester. After the first day of class he asked me to call him if I needed help or I wanted to borrow his book. Almost every other day we go after class and get coffee together and sit and chat. We have always laughed a lot and, He speaks about his girlfriend with me and I listen. ( he doesn't always say the nicest things about her, which I do not find to be the greatest quality) He tells me about his other friends, his family, and parts of his life. We talk about other people and relationships. We share a lot in common. (he insists that he in a very private person, but he talks with me about some issues that i consider to be personal) Over the last couple weeks, it seems like I am almost expected to go get coffee with him. He knows my class schedule, and he always asks me if I have to work at night. (I am trying to keep in mind that we are just school friends, and that he has a GF). This past Thursday we had a quiz in our assigned groups, he is not in my group. His group finished first and I was a little bummed, but whatever. I saw him get up and then he looked at me just as I was looking down, (b/c I didn't want seem like a freak for staring at him). It took my group a little over 15 minutes longer to finish the quiz, and so I finished. I was leaving class and as I turned the corner, he was there waiting for me. I wasn't expecting that b/c I didn't think that he thought of me like that... I want him to be interested in me as a friend more so than anything. I don't want to ruin his relationship with his girlfriend b/c that is not my nature. I am really coming across as very pathetic and obsessive (sorry, but I am still fragile). Does he like me? What do you think that he wants from me?
kypepeo Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 My friend was in a situation like this once. Her study partner started hanging with her all the time and told her everything abot what was going on with him. Things got crazy because there was that tension of "are we really just friends" and soon ,they hooked up. He was now cheating on his girlfriend with her and she hated it. She not the type of person to do this but since they were always together, it was the natural course to take. Basically, what I am trying to say is that there is an underlying tension already and that means that soon something will happen between you two. You need to know how you are going to deal with that situation before your emotions prevent you from making the right decision. Talk to him about the possibility of something happening with you two and if you both think that it would be the wrong thing for your relationship, then you need to stop hanging out together as much as you do. If you two want to take it further then make sure it's AFTER he breaks up with his gf and not before because that's a messed up situation
Author HeartSprinkles Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 Thanx for your input. I unfortunately don't really want to talk to him about the issue b/c I won't ever let anything happen between us while he has a GF. (I HATE CHEATERS!!!) If he didn't have a GF I would be more forceful...I think...
