darkchocolatecherry Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 i like a guy who is currently studying for the most important exam in life. the thing is, when we hang out (usually with other people during his study breaks), he acts interested in me. when he talks, he will only look at me 80% of the time, as if the other people don't exist. if we study together, he will always try to start conversations, even though we should be studying. he laughs and smiles around me a lot, always tries to crack jokes and sound witty, and teases me a lot. if he sees me/bumps into (usually at a cafe), he will always come over, sit with me, and talk with me for a long time before going on his way to do whatever he had to do. i took this as a sign that he could be interested and i asked him to see a movie with me and some of my friends. even though he was really busy and had work early in the morning the next day, he still came. we ended up not being able to talk much because one of my best friends had a crisis and i was trying to comfort him most of the time (completely platonic, my friend is gay) however, he pretty much never texts me first. a week after the movie, i told him that my friends and i are baking in the common room of the dorms and he was welcome to swing by and get some food if he got hungry. he did not come - i think his friends had planned to do something that night but this was never made clear to me. however, he texted me the next day asking me how my first day of work was. after this, it has always been me initiating the texting. i text around once a week, usually to send him something funny. i also bought him a box of coffee to help him study. i know he is super busy right now. i just wonder if i am being too pushy or if he would do more of he was interested.
EasyHeart Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 i know he is super busy right now. i just wonder if i am being too pushy or if he would do more of he was interested. Yes, you are being too pushy. He's busy; leave the poor guy alone. He's not going to start dating someone if he's studying for the most important exam of his life. Quit distracting him and maybe he'll ask you out when he's done with his exam. If you keep pestering, he's going to get annoyed with you. 1
travelbug1996 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 its not your job to chase a man. let him call you and ask you out. If he doesn't THAT MEANS HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU IN THAT WAY. You will save yourself a lot of worry, pain and confusion.
angel.eyes Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 You won't know until his exam is over. Wait and see if he asks you out after his exam. In the meanwhile, it's fine to continue doing thoughtful things occasionally, like bringing him coffee or cookies when you study together. Hope things work out!
d0nnivain Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Before the "most important exam of his life" he doesn't care about ANYTHING other than that test. Don't push anything until that exam is over.
