So I'm certain that this boy in my class likes me, but I also think that he's too afraid to do anything about it. Should I try to talk to him more and see how things progress over time? I don't understand. He stares at me, smiles, subtly compliments me, makes excuses to wait after class so we can walk together, etc, etc. I've definitely made efforts to show my feelings by talking to him, looking at him, smiling, complimenting him, and even by getting him something special for his birthday. And if that weren't enough, I definitely think that he overheard my friend talking about my crush on him while I repeatedly/panickingly tried to get her to shut up (he was really close by and she was very loud). Is it possible that he doesn't get it? Should I be more obvious? Should I be all over him, lol?! We actually don't hang out and aren't very close. We just see eachother at school. I don't want to directly ask him to "hang out." Should I just be patient?

He obviously likes you and is most likely too afraid to do something about it, in fact he might be waiting for you to make the first move. He's intimidated, so ask him if he wants to go see a movie with you and some of your friends (Mutual friends) to take the pressure off. This will get things going and then you can start doing this with just the two of you. You shouldn't have to wait around for him to get up the courage to tell you how he feels, it's a good thing when the girl is the first to show her feelings. Good luck!
