Hey guys. Brace yourselves this is really long. I am 14/f, 15 in June, a freshman in high school, and SOOO confused. Well I am a nerd. I've had this MAJOR crush on a dude; lets call him HM, ever since the first day of high school, and HM's WAY higher up on the social status bar than I am. In fact, he's the most popular guy in the whole dang school. He turned seventeen on the 15th of May, and he's a junior. Anyways, he's SO hott, and funny, and muscular, and tall, nice and… Well I'm getting carried away sorry, heh. So, about two months or so ago, he came up to me one day and started "flirting" with me to see what I would do. His flirting with me is obviously a joke, so don’t worry, I don't have my hopes up on this. Well, I gave him this horrified/surprised look, and my face got REALLY red. And then, it began. Now, what I mean by fake flirting is he will do all sorts of things just for me to give him that look, and his attempts get more extreme as time goes on. For example, when he first started, it was only sexy looks across the classroom at me. That went on for a while until he would then mouth "I love you", then in the hallways with his friends he would say, "You see that girl right there? Yeah, that's my baby." Then (We both have the same lunch) this one time about a month ago at lunch, one of his friends came over to where my nerd friends and I were sitting at lunch, sat next to me and put his arm around me. HM came storming over and said, “HEY, what are you doing with my girl?!” His friend said “YOU’RE girl?” Then suddenly HM and his friend had this fake fight. One of his friends tied his shoelaces in a loop, put it around my neck and said “A token of my love!” HM came over, took it off and said “Get that piece of filth off my woman!” He’s been doing this at least three times a week. Once in the only class I have with him, he grabbed my hand, and once… He hugged me. I know these things are only jokes, but I’ve been noticing things lately. Like when he doesn’t do his “Routine”, out of the corner of my eye I can see him staring at me, and not in a joking way, either. Believe me, I can tell the difference. I was once walking, and he and one of his friends were behind me. His friend said “Stupid freshman…” HM said angrily “Dude SHUT UP.” So, what’s going on? A nickname my friends and I made up for love is “Diggin’ someone’s trousers.” I definitely dig his. But the question is… Are my trousers starting to catch his eye, if you know what I mean? Thanks~!

I wouldn't assume that he's just joking if I were you. If he is joking, that's a very long, elaborate joke. Who would put that much effort into it? Guys can be immature, but I doubt he would try so hard to just get his kicks.
If you have Facebook or MySpace, you should find his page and add it if you haven't already. That leaves an open communication where you can contact him at any time, and he can contact you at any time. If you haven't added him, do so. When he accepts, throw him a quick message or comment. Something simple like 'sup' 'yo' 'hey', whatever your style is.
If you start talking to him online, you will be able to get to know him better and possibly be able to figure out what his deal is. If he doesn't respond to your message or comment, you can assume he's just being a jerk. But hopefully he would have the decency to reply back.
It sounds to me like he may be 'diggin' your trousers' (ha:D), but the only way to be sure is to talk to him more, outside of school. Summer break is coming up so you won't have the problem of talking to him online, then having awkward exchanges at school.

Good luck

Darby(:



EDIT:
In response to your questions (I can't message you back privately, ha)
It wouldn't seem pushy at all. It would show that you're interested in being his friend(: And it has been a while since he's been online. But even if he only gets on once in a while, he'll see it the next time he's on. Maybe he only gets on a couple times a month? Either way, I would still add him. Even if he's hardly on, what's to lose? He might not even see it, and if he does, he'll add you(:

(Rating: 5) Cool! Thanks for answering my dumb questions yet again. I will send him a friend request.

Wow, that was GREAT advice! I never thought about it like that. Now that you mention it, it does seem suspicious he would put so much energy into it everyday... But I am confused as to whether or not to add him on Myspace and/or Facebook. Will I seem too pushy or will it be too obvious if I added him? Plus, (Hah... I've checked out his profile before. Stalker-ish much?) it says on his profile he hasn't been online since the 5th of May... Should I try anyways? Sorry I'm bombarding you with all of these questions, heh.
