Me [ 21 F] asked out and hung out with [22 M], interested or nah?

[takemeback2]

So since about a month ago I've had a crush on this guy who lives in my house (it's a huge 120+ one). I've occasionally talked to him since but we've shared eye contact on a consistent basis that made me think there was a mutual attraction going on. Last Tuesday I asked him out and he said he was pretty down and was excited but that he was busy applying to grad schools and would text me when he's free.

 

Friday comes and his best friend invites me to his bday party that night, which is weird because I don't know anyone there except his girlfriend who came up for the weekend. But whatever. Anyway, we talked quite a bit and hung out, super friendly. I left with him (and another couple) to come back home where we chatted again - I flirted with him quite a bit and he seemed pretty responsive. Before going to bed he said he'd text me on Saturday about going roller blading then patted me on the shoulder (???), leaving. Saturday comes and goes, no text. The only reason I could think of why he wouldn't is that he got busy because of his best friend and his girlfriend. I mean, he's a pretty awkward guy and super shy+ nerdy as well. When I told my friends about him they were taken aback because I'm "out of league" (blahblahblah) but that he's nice and cool. So guys, could you help me figure out if he's just weird or not interested or should I just wait it out or what? I'd rather get over my pathetic crush on him...

Shy guy=man child. Don't expect him to ever take the lead like a man would....you literally have to take him by the hand and guide him. So if you really like him you are going to have to hint real hard or suggest you two go out to the movies or dinner, etc. You re probably going to be the one to give him a hug and a kiss. Have fun with that.

Look for someone who shows a lot more interest in you. This dude is way too inexperienced to know how to date and show you a good time from the sounds of it.
