s-erendipity Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Met this guy last semester: we're both 18 and freshmen in college. He caught my eye since he's very cute but quiet during every class. I summed up the courage to talk to him, he turned out to be fun, nice, smart... very childish and goofy, tho. He likes video games, cartoons, and has never had a girlfriend or any dating experience. He's also a bit awkward over text, although he has no problem talking in person. He asked me out after two weeks of talking, and we went for coffee and to the movies. It was uncomfortable at first but then it got super cute. We flirted, made sweet eye contact, goodbye hug; it was perfect. Following week we had finals, he didn't text me, only to ask me how my exams were going. Then Winter Break starts (it lasts a month for us), he barely texted me (maybe three times). Then obviously on Christmas and New Years. He knows I like Star Wars and then New Years he says we should go watch it when we're both back in town. Back at school, this new semester, I share a class with him. He's already in the classroom when I walk in, but I ignore him. He leaves the classroom first, and is waiting at the hallway with his friends. As I walk by, he tells them he needs to go to the restroom, and approaches me but a friend of mine gets in the way. He then follows us all the way down the stairs even though there are restrooms there, but makes no effort to talk to me. Last class of the day, he's there too, with one of his friends. He gets up to go to the restroom, says nothing as he walks past me. Then when he's back I say ok, I'll act like it's nothing. I raise my fist, he's startled but fist bumps it, then chuckles and puts his hand on my shoulder as he walks back to his seat. He starts telling his friend how he hasn't watched Star Wars yet, his friend won't stop looking at me. Today I have the same classes as that day and during the morning, I sat at the left end of the classroom, he and his friends at the right. One of his friends participates a lot so I used that as an excuse to look at him, he would be staring at me every single time. Then during the last class his friend comes up and says hi, I answer, and the guy I like is standing behind his friend, and says "No 'hi' for me?" I say hi and he sits next to me, he gets all nervous for a few seconds then asks me about my holidays, and starts talking normally. I comment on Star Wars and he goes "Ugh, I forgot I have to be home this weekend. But.. what day's tomorrow? Friday?" I say "what? tomorrow?" and he goes, yeah, can we go tomorrow? And we agree on talking about it after school. During the rest of the class, he would be fidgety and make random comments. I started moving my seat away and he would get closer, yet I don't wanna misinterpret those things. And he's left me feeling way too confused. Is he interested in me and is just awkward? Or is he obviously friendzoning me? I don't know!!
YourCupOfTea Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) How old are you guys? My thoughts are that he probably likes you, but just doesn't know how to act. He wants to hang out with you, so that indicates that he probably likes you. Go to Star Wars and have fun! And see what happens next. You can text him afterwards that you had a good time and see if how he responds. By all means don't ignore him when you see him in class even if it might be awkward! Just be nice to him and try to make easy for him to approach you at times, and just see what happens. Edited January 15, 2016 by YourCupOfTea
