Question Posted Wednesday February 22 2012, 9:25 pm
He normally keeps to himself, and doesn't say anything during class, but ever since we started talking, he just talks more and more. sometimes it's almost like babbling, like he'll just say random things, and I'm the only one who sits right next to him, so I'm pretty sure they're directed at me. I talk to him, but when he starts babbling something random sometimes I don't know what to do and just smile at him or ignore it, and just like move my head, to acknowledge his words.
i'm really attracted to him (he's not ugly or anything, too but i think he's a bit insecure, but then again, so am I.), but I don't know. i thought guys were supposed to be shy around girls they liked "more than a friend"? but with him it's the opposite.
1. he pays attention to what I say
2. sometimes tries to make me laugh
3. always nice to me, and doesn't tease me or anything. we've never argued about anything, we usually think the same way
4. we actually have quite a bit in common. similar music and movie interests (outside of the mainstream), and we're both like nerdy, socially awkward loners.
5. we're still like strong acquaintances (or slightly friends) but I often feel like there's this strong sexual tension between us. our conversations are often a bit awkward
6. he quickly gives into favors I ask of him
7. once said a sexual joke to me (like PG-rated, though)
It's weird. How do I know if he's being friendly or what? If he looked up body language I think I've been pretty obvious that I really liked him, but with him, some of the things I've noticed, but not others, like him touching me or w/e, cause we're still relatively new to each other, and I'm not the most touchy-feely person (platonically. I'd love to make out with him, haha). i consider myself to be relatively attractive, too, if that affects anything.
I just don't know what to think about this situation and what not. I wouldn't ask him out or w/e because I have a big fear of rejection. I don't even know if I'm ready for a relationship. I don't even see him outside of school or anything, and I don't drive, so idk how that would really work. but I get a vibe that he likes me, but my brain is telling me that it isn't true, and I'm jumping the gun. idk if it's just my insecurity though. I've never been in a relationship, and I think my insecurities are partially to blame, actually. but I think this guy doesn't have much experience in the whole "romantic world" either

Now what you need to do is drop hints that you are as well, or not be a chicken and ask him if he wants to hang out outside of school. What I mean by drop hints is ask if he has a girlfriend, maybe be a little flirty by touching him or being closer, start hugging. All these are usually hints that girls give off when they're jnteresrted but at the same time don't give you away. You could just be one of those generally flirty girls, you can feel that your good enough friends now to hug, all can be either or. If you'd rather start spending time together out of school you can simply ask him if he wants to go see a movie with you or a less scary way would be to ask him if he can help u with something (school work) seeing as he's smart.
