Hey, there's this guy I like, but does he like me?
Question Posted Monday January 29 2007, 7:12 pm
Heya. You've got a boyfriend...how can you tell if someone likes you?
There's this guy, Elijah, and I met him about a year ago at karate. The biggest problem is, he goes to one school and I go to another, so I only see him once a week. When I do see him, I don't really get to talk to him at all. Now we like a lot of the same things, and it's shocking because every other guy I know is like...well, an idiot.
The other day, I even got him to try out for a play, because he was nervous and never tried out for one. Well, my friend's friend goes to his school and she says he's been in all of the plays before, he's never had a girlfriend, and that he's a loser. It was horrible!
It's just I've never felt like this before! I think about him, seeing him, being with him, and I feel so thrilled. I can't stop thinking about him, he's driving me crazy!
I do think he likes me. He'll quickly look away when I look at him and he kind of gets nervous around me, but also tries to act all macho and stuff. The only thing that bothers me is...if what my friend's friend says is right...why would he lie to me about not being in plays? Is he trying to impress me? Is he trying to get rid of me (I hope to God he's not!)? Please help me!
