16/f/UK.
So I started college a couple weeks ago, & there's a guy I really like there. Basically I want to get his attention but I'm not sure how to do it.
The first day I met him I sat down opposite him in a class & as we didn't know anyone around us, we worked together. He was really friendly & smiled at me a lot, & I noticed him looking over at me a lot.
We had a few classes together, & I'd catch him looking at me a lot. I'd notice him staring at me whenever I walked into a room. Later, we had a class together, & he came & sat near me, even though he already had a really good seat in another room & we were talking and I'd often make him laugh, & when we weren't talking, we'd sometimes make eye contact and smile. He always uses my name & he asked what my last name was & kept checking that he knew how to spell it (I thought this was maybe so he could add me on facebook, but he hasn't). We don't really speak much, but sometimes he does things like poke me on the shoulder, and we smile like we have this understanding.
However, there's this other girl that obviously likes him (I'm pretty sure she said she has a boyfriend but he doesn't go to our college) and she's SO flirty with him, she always sits next to him & whenever something funny happens in class they look over at each other & smile. And now they hang out a lot.
So, what should I do to catch his attention? I'm really shy so find it hard to do the upfront stuff this other girl does. I was wondering if maybe I should do the more mysterious thing so maybe he'd start to notice me instead? But that might not work, so what do you think I should do?

He is probabaly trying to figure you out too. This other girl doesn't matter. Focus on how you two react and ask yourself if he is really worth. 2) You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone. I get it, i'm a litte shy too with boys. But guys like confident but be mysterious too. They love the chase. However, too play too much because they will lose interest. 3) To catch his attention, one day go up and start a conversation. Don't be afraid to make the first move. Maybe when your comofortable ask him for his number or add him on facebook. Just tried to out there and available. Last thing, be yourself. Through the whole process stay true to yourself. You want him liking you for yourself not someoe else. Stay postive and stay in the game.
Good luck :D [ Kitchel17's advice column | Ask Kitchel17 A Question ]

awh okay well from what you said it seems like hes interested but nobody here can tell you for sure what his feelings are as much as we would all like to get inside a guys head!
okay don't over anaylise him and this other girl youl only drive yourself crazy and become paronied you don't want that,see it has just friendlyness and flirty fun.
the trick to getting his attention?Just be you..dont go for this whole mysterious act if its not really you, he obviously thinks your nice and funny if you make him laugh! get the courage to talk to him more don't let that other girl get in the way fight for your chance you have as equal one as her.
he could possibly like you but not think your interested if you dont talk as much so do your best to be more outgoing sit next to him as often as you can and bring up convirsation..you mentioned you thought he was gonna add you on facebook but hasnt..well whats stopping YOU from adding him and getting chatting to him on that? maybe even get his number who knows the posibilites are endless dont let them pass you by :)
I hope I helped and that things go your way anymore questions please inbox me.
Much <3
