Question Posted Thursday September 1 2005, 2:10 am
Ok, so I was like in love with this boy last year and I played a harmless prank on him and he totally stopped talking to me. This year he has not said one word to me and he is my chemistry class. It's 2 weeks into the year and he hasn't said a thing. He's on football and I'm in cheer, so we see each other a million times a day. I really want him to talk to me and he just won't. Instead, I'm starting to believe he's trying to like telepathically talk to me or something because he will not stop staring at me. In the morning, he full on stares at me and does not even care if I notice. Sometimes in chemistry, he'll stare at me and I'll look at him and he'll look away, vice versa. These staring games are pretty silly. Other times at lunch, he'll stare and I'll ask my friends to block his view and he'll actually move to get a better look at me. I thought maybe he was staring at some other girl but all of my friends say hes lookin right at me. At football, when the cheerleaders run around the track, he gets so distracted by me that his coach tells him to pay attention. Why won't he just talk to me? He doesn't respond to my emails or nothing. He apparently just enjoys staring. What the heck does this mean?! I really need help. I feel like a celebrity getting stalked by the paparazzi and want to know why he is doing this! Help please!!

I'm guessing it's number 2. It looks clear to me he's interested. Why isn't he returning your emails or calls or anything? He's probably shy! Doesn't know what to say. Maybe he does enjoy staring, But I'm thinking two things right now. He's staring because he's getting payback for that prank you did. He wants to stare at you to make you believe that he's interested in you when he's not. Then you approach him about this and he has no clue as to what your talking about just to get revenge. On the other hand, like I said before. Maybe he just likes your beauty and wants to get to know you more. He gets so distracted by you right? If you want to keep the game going try staring back at him and maybe smiling a bit. Step your game up by winking at him if your interested. It's most likely he's shy. But if you're not shy like him and interested... I say go for it and tell him how you feel about all of this. What have you got to lose? [ LaydeeAki's advice column | Ask LaydeeAki A Question ]

I think he's trying to figure something out... like whether or not to talk to you again... or maybe he's trying to figure out a way to get you back for the prank you played. If he liked you, he'd respond back to the e-mails you were sending him and such. Next time he stares at you just ask him what's up. You can be the first one to talk ya know... just say hey or smile or something. Be friendly about it. Good luck.

Why don't *you* go talk to *him*?
I know, crazy! But hey you could always say "Why are you staring at me all the time? You are creeping me out!" That is definately an ice breaker and maybe you'll find out just what his deal is.
ScratchesOnTheWall answered Thursday September 1 2005, 7:54 am: He's either got a huge crush on you or is deliberately trying to freak you out (possibly as some sort of revenge for the prank?)-possibly both. Either way you need to go up and talk to him. Corner the boy-deliberately go and sit opposite him on a table at lunch then either ask him what the hell he's doing or just start a normal conversation depending on how you feel about the situation and what you want the outcome to be (i.e.: do you just want him to leave you alone or do you want him to be some kind of friend?).
ChOcOLoLo answered Thursday September 1 2005, 4:40 am: hey there! what you should do is, go up and talk to him. if you're just going to sit and wait and get the staring games to your head, you're gonna go CRAZY, and nothing will be solved. Instead, it escalates and the situation gets worse. Just go up and straight-forwardly talk to him, ask him why hasn't he been talking to you this whole time, and explain that he's staring at you and not saying a word is bothering you. Telepathically communicating truly does not work, and assuming things doesn't either. So really, get up and talk to him, because you'll never know, and the situation is never going to get better if you don't do it now. I mean, what's wrong with talking to him first, you know? =D [ ChOcOLoLo's advice column | Ask ChOcOLoLo A Question ]
