Does he like me or is he just being immature?


Question Posted Tuesday November 28 2006, 9:31 pm

There's this boy in my P.E. class(I'm in the 7th grade, and I just turned 13 last month), and he's constantly annoying me. At first, he just snuck up on me from behind and poked me on either side of my rib cage. Later that day he poked me once more and tried to two more times, but I dodged him. He kept calling out my name randomly in wierd voices, and I just gave him wierd looks.
Then, when out class was in the gym the next day, he kept on calling "lauren sucks!" during class. I just ignored him.
The the next day, he's friends with my best friend, Jenna. At break I'm hanging out with her and my other friend, karly, and he's standing with his friends near by. He turns around and says hi to Karly and Jenna, the turns to me, points, and says, "Look it's Lauren!"
I just raise my eye brows and he turns to his and nudges him, saying, "Hey! Look it's lauren!" I roll my eyes and say sarcastically, "No really? Where?"
Later that day, at P.E. (which is our last class) he poked me once more, and tried to throw pebbles at me. At first I didn't know he was aiming at me, but once he said 'ah, I missed!' I knew he was aiming at me. I turned at looked at him, and he threw another pebble then asked, "Did it hit you?" and I said no. He threw a couple more and none of them hit me.
When I was walking back to the number I'm supposed to stand on, he passes me and tries to steal my headband. I smiled and say playfully, "Oh! You like that ninja reflexes!" he shakes his head and says, "Ninja? Please..." He smiles and walks away.
Jenna says he likes me. But does he like me or is he just being immature. Another thing, I noticed he started to notice me when I go my new hair cut and started straightening my hair everyday.

Maybe both. Guys are definately very immature at that age, and unfortunately for many many years longer. Sigh! Anyway, tell him to grow up and figure out a nicer way to flirt. He is probably insecure and confused by his own feelings, and really just a silly little boy still, with hormones driving him insane. Don't put up with any crap, you gotta teach him what is acceptable and not acceptable behavior in flirting. Something all guys have to figure out, and they will only get it eventually from practice, trial and error, especially the error part. Yeah, he likes you, but don't let that be a reason to take crap either.

Mel beat to what I was going to say. At 13, this boy isn't going to be suave and refined. IMO he likes you on a level he doesn't even realize yet, and likely he doesnt even know how to put it into words or actions. I doubt he's in the full-on throes of puberty just yet, and he still hasn't figured out just where girls/women fit in, in the big picture.

I'd assume its just a harmless, pre-pubescent adolation/infatuation at this point, and boys that age simply do not know how to act when put in this situation. Probably all he knows is how to act with other boys his age, girls are something he has no clue about (other than the usual pulling of pig-tails type things) and he is going to have to learn through trial and error, which is possibly what a lot of his actions are atm. Think "being a boy and rough-housing", and then trying to merge with how to behave with girls/women (something he might know nothing about).

It sounds to me like he likes you!


Well, see, you guys are only 13, right? Guys are going to be immature at this age anyways, so no matter what, like you or not, he's going to be acting that way.

But it looks to me like he seems to be flirting with you quite a bit there. Whenever guys like a girl, they tend to tease her and give her a little more attention then they do all the other girls. Sometimes, yes, the teasing can be annoying and everything, but it's just their way of showing they like you without having to really say it.

See? One example as for the more attention thing. He just says hi to all his other girl friends and everything, but for you he has to exclaim it and point to you and give you more attention and sound a little happier to see you and everything. :)

And there's the annoyance part shortly after it. All the throwing things at you and poking you. Whenever guys like a girl, they feel the need to flirt by taking something of theirs ( your purse ) which then tries to get you to chase them down for it or sometimes they'll grab it and since they're taller hold it up in the air so you have to jump to get it and everything.

So like I said, it definetely sounds to me like he likes you!

If you like him back, keep it going and start to send signals his way too. :)

I hope I helped.

Well, guys are all different just like us. It could be in hisnature to act this way, he's just immature or he likes you.

I know that I have a friend that constantly pokes me, picks me up, calls out my name randomly, touches my arm but he does NOT like me. He's just normally like that.

So there is only one way to know for sure is to ask him YOURSELF. which is easier said than done. HAving a friend ask can be inccorrect because he might not want to reveal to someone else that he does like you.

So well this is 7th grade, there is a big possiblity of him being just immature.
