I'm a 14 year old girl. I've liked this guy for over a year. Last year my friend told me that he said that he might go out with me and he blushed and turned away. I've asked him out and he turned me down. He is always staring at me and sitting close to me when he can. I'm really confused and don't know what to think. If he doesn't like me, then why is he staring?
thanks(:

Take it slow. He probably just feels rushed. Talk to him and become friends. Hang out. Go to movies and just hang out. Then see where it leads on from there. Don't make it so serious :) just have fun! [ lovealways1221's advice column | Ask lovealways1221 A Question ]

Shyness can be a real bitch sometimes. Just tell him to relax and that you don't bite. Make some jokes to help make him comfortable.
However, also keep in mind that insecurity is more the rule than the exception in your age group and some kids have more developed social skills than others. Everyone grows at a different pace. So even if he does get with you he may end up being a pretty quiet guy because he would be afraid of saying something stupid and alienating you. Don't take it personally or worry about it. Stuff just happens in funny ways sometimes. [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]
