I'm Spencer, female, 17, college freshman. So, there's this guy I like, he's my classmate. I've kind of liked him for a month now and for the past few weeks I've been trying my hardest to do all the right moves but somehow I don't feel like I've progressed. But despite that, I don't wanna give up. But I don't even know what to do.
So this guy I like, he's 18, college freshman and we have 3 classes together. But we also have friends in those classes. About our relationship, well we've known each other since the schoolyear started but we belong to different groups. We're not like, 'oh we're friends and we're nice to each other', no, he actually likes to bully and joke around with people (me included). I always try my best to make small talk with him or something but sometimes I fail or sometimes I succeed (for like a day and then never again).
So please help me? I'm out of ideas and I just realized I don't even have much of a plan to win this guy over. I've put on makeup for him, watched his favorite show (men wrestling btw) just so I could talk to him about it, punch him lightly just to get his attention, IDK anymore. So, advice? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?:(
P.S. Every Monday I get an opportunity to be alone with him. We walk together to our next class because we're in the same building. That's roughly 8, 10 minutes? I've tried to like converse with him but usually I'd just ask and he'd just answer. Conversation ended. Then it'd be super awkward. I don't wanna sound desperate, asking another question over another after every answer like an interview (is that desperate?) so sometimes I just allow the silence between us. Any advice on how to maximize my opportunity here??
P.P.S. We have PE together. His partner's a girl and I can't help but feel jealous when they're talking, laughing, seemingly having fun. But at the same time, I don't think I can intervene because we perform by different groups. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I don't wanna lose to her or whatever. Advice in this area would be great too.
Sorry if that was long. But I honestly need help!:( Any great advice would be incredibly awesome (and if I succeed, I promise to let you all know). So please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
PLEASE HELP ME! God rewards good people..:)) JK, but seriously though! I need your help!
Thank you in advance! You guys are awesome.♥
xoxo,
Spencer

Play around with him. Ask him this one question " I like this guy . He's really cute and stuff but I don't know how to get his attention. What do you like girls to do?' Though try to imply that the person is back home or something. Something that he knows its NOT him. Just to tell you usually if a guy likes you he will tell you. Though there are guys out there who play hard to get. Good Luck!
Sherry answered Friday February 18 2011, 3:45 pm: I agree whth the person below me. I think you are both old enough to know when someone likes you and is trying to get your attention. You've done all the right things yet he still hasn't said or done anything to show that he likes you too. Maybe he just sees you as a good friend? Maybe you're trying a bit TOO hard. Guys like the chase, remember? Either way, you should back off a bit. Don't completely ignore him, but don't shower him with the attention you've been giving as of late. Time will only to tell if this guy likes you or if you're just meant to be awesome friends!
Oh and don't be sad if it's the latter. You're in college! You will meet so many different people (that are smokin' hot!) over the next four years. You will find someone!
"P.S."
This is going to tie in with the fact that "guys like the chase." Ditch him one Monday! Walk with your friends or by yourself. Next time he sees you, he'll ask why you didn't walk with him. Just say you were busy with your friends. Leave it at that. Then the next Monday, walk with him as if nothing happened.
"P.P.S"
As far as his PE partner goes, let your jealousy go. The guys you like, your future boyfriends, and your husband will always have girl-friends so it's in your best interest to stop being jealous. Otherwise it will drive you crazy for the rest of your life. Just be secure about yourself, know that you're awesome
and those girls are too...but never as awesome as you!
AskMeNow101 answered Friday February 18 2011, 12:43 pm: Well, If he hasn't showed any sign of really being into you, maybe he's not. It may be disappointing to hear, but, maybe he knows that he's not the guy for you, you know? We don't want you hurt in the end. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and this guy my not be the fish for you...[; [ AskMeNow101's advice column | Ask AskMeNow101 A Question ]
