Question Posted Thursday September 16 2010, 8:03 pm
Okay here's the deal: I like this guy in my class and am almost 100% certain that he likes me as well. We don't see eachother outside of school and we briefly speak while in school. Sometimes we talk in the class we have together. I was really surprised when he invited me to his birthday party (I didn't think he considered us "close"). And ever since the invite it's been all smiles and stares in class. I'm talking serious eye contact!
But he's shy in the sense that he won't directly tell me his feelings. Maybe he's doubtful of my feelings and thinks I think we're just friends. Where do I go from here? I don't actually want to tell him that I like him or tell his friends to tell him because I've done that before and I didn't like the results. Should I drop more obvious hints?? And how exactly should I do that? Haha. Thank you.

Along the way, he may find out whether you really do like him or not and things could progress. Maybe outside of school you guys could start hanging out and see each other more often besides just in class and get to know each other better. [ LadyS's advice column | Ask LadyS A Question ]
