Me and this guy used to talk last semester. people thouight we had a thing. Then the idea of prom came along. He said to my frined that he didnt want to go to prom with me, but wasnt going with any other girl because he didnt want to hurt me. Now this guy is kinda tight with girls and stuff, so another friend told me that one of hs excuses was that he didnt want us to get drunk and have sex incase i got pregnant or something.........yeaaa. Worse excuse of the century. but anyway that is that. Im taking a guy in grade 11 now but i still would rather go with the other guy. Now all he ever does is give me eye contact in the hall and a smile. Last week he did it every day and my close friends even noticed. This week he hasent even been doing that. Is he avoiding me? i just dont get him anymore. I should probably talk to him but it would be so hard to start and he would probably feel soooo uncomfortable about the whole thing.I think the only reason i even care is because i miss talking to him all the time. It s even worse because my best friend hates him and i know that he doesnt think very highly of her. Sometimes i wonder if thats why he doesnt talk to me as much. idk what im asking here...butt yeaa:)

This guy sounds like he has a thing for you, but doesn't want to openly admit it. Why would he not want to go to the prom with you and then say that he didn't want to go with any other girl to upset you? This tells one of two things: he doesn't like prom OR he is too shy to ask you. BUT, he said he didn't want to hurt you, so he obviously wants to go - with You (most likely).
As for his excuses, yea they are pretty lame. I think he is avoiding you or else he wouldn't be flirting with you and giving you smiles all the time. Yes, you should talk to him! Doing so would help you figure out his true intentions. He might be just a nice guy or he might really like you. It doesn't matter if you think he'd feel uncomfortable; you have to give him a try. If you be yourself, he will feel comfortable. It is like that saying "it is only uncomfortable if you make it uncomfortable". Be calm and collected and you will have a good convo with him.
As for the conflict between your friend and him; you don't have to be involved in whatever they have against eachother. As long as you treat him right and her right they shouldn't hold anything against you. Your friend not supporting you in your decision, makes me wonder if shes a real friend. I think: if you want to talk to a guy, talk to him because you want to, not because your friend says she doesn't like him. Its your life.
If you want to meet this guy and hang out more: talk to him alone (when your friend isn't around), find out his interests (if you haven't already), ask him if he would like to hang out sometime (grab some drinks, go to the movies), and find out why he smiles at you in the hall. If he comes up with another lame excuse why he shouldn't chill with you or that his smiles mean nothing, you should find another guy (he is not actually interested). BUT, if he says he would like to hang out and he treats you respectfully... keep talking to him (even a "hi" along with a smile in return when he looks at you). He will get the hint <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
