Is he into me?

[mellodyrib]

A "relationship" about me (26f) and a guy (22m)

First of all, before saying the whole story. It's going to be a big post, sorry!

Second of all, English is not my first language, so please, ignore if I make any mistakes.

I am Sophia (not my real name) (26 F) and I'm in college, in a project with a guy. He's really nice and lately I've been crushing on him a lot! At first I was kinda quiet, because it was just me as a girl and 3 other guys in this project. They were doing everything to make me feel comfortable and I started to open more to them.

The guy that I'm into is Gabriel (22 M) (he's also straight, he told me) and at first as I said I was very quiet and shy and he would come talk to me and be nice. He always sits next to me and makes conversations first. Then I started to have a crush on him and started to being extra nice to him. He asks about my life, he told me he lives near me, he knows I like F1 and even though he doesn't like it, he watched a race with me (and asked me about it when I saw him again). He remembered my age and he's nice.

We talk a lot and when we were having lunch at the college restaurant, he's super into being fit and fighting (as a professional fighter) and I told him that I don't take care of myself and that I'm gonna die by the time I'm 30 and he said exactly that: "oh a beautiful woman should take care of herself", then I started thinking: is he into me? Did he call me beautiful? Then we talked a lot, he hugged me when we said goodbye (I was not gonna do that, honestly, I was in a rush) and I don't know.

I'm very insecure about myself, my looks and my body, so I usually have a hard time noticing if someone's into me or not, or if someone's flirting with me or just being friendly (and when I do think they are flirting, my mind automatically shuts it down).

He also talked about netflix and chill with me and told me that when you're dating you actually watch netflix (I told him I knew what it meant, as a joke, obviously). Told me he dated, but didn't last long and now he's single. Asked me if I ever dated someone and told me that when I went to his hometown (he lives far from MY hometown), he would show me around where he grew up.

But also, he doesn't text me, we only talk at the meeting that we need to attend weekly or when we see eachother on person (at campus). He never added me on Instagram (and I have a very different name), so it would be easy to find me. And also he never asked me out and he told me he was talking to a girl.

So, what do you think about it? Is he into me or is it just friendship?

As I said, I'm very insecure and usually have a hard time believing someone's into me and also, if I should keep trying, so I do need someone's advice on that.

Sorry for the HUGE post and thank you for anyone that can help me!!!

This sounds like something a friend would tell a friend. If he wanted to ask you out, he would do so instead of mentioning that he's talking to a girl.
