This guy I talk to in one of my classes.. well, we aren't exactly friends, we're more like awkward classroom friends. So I have a big crush on him, and idk how he feels, really. I've read positive signs from him, like him trying to get my attention a lot, staring at me with a small coy smile (especially when he walks right by me), occasionally mimicking my body language, etc. He's this geeky/nerdy/loner type who tends to keep to himself, but the more you're comfortable around him the more he talks to you. This guy and I sit right next to each other in one class (coincidence) and we're kind of isolated from the rest of the class, from where we're located. but he kind of gives mixed signals, like in the beginning of the period he's like energized and tries to interact with me a lot, and then at some point later he still interacts with me but just doesn't appear over zealous. and then usually by the end of the period we're not talking, really, and it's just awkward tension, and he puts his head down on his desk
So basically, today, him and his friend (one of the few others he talks to in the class) had to get random drug tested, and about 15 minutes after they came back, his friend (who sits right behind us) was smiling really big and said that this unattractive, "funny" guy wanted to ask me out on a date, and at first I was surprised cause this guy has literally never talked to me, and then I responded "stop!" in a sort of playful way, cause it was obviously a joke, and I didn't know what else to say. And my crush looked at his friend at the same time, and I don't know what his facial expression was, as I was sort of afraid to look at him after such a romantic allusion (this is how inept I am in this area).. but I heard him make a few groans, and I didn't say anything cause idk if they were directed at his friend or something else, not related to me. also, he put his head down (he does that a lot, though) afterwards, for most of the rest of the period. And now that I'm thinking about it, could this have just been a prank by my crush's friend because he wanted to push his buttons, or could my crush have told his friend that he thinks I like him, but doesn't like me back, so he was just trying to mess with me instead? cause the guy that my crush's friend referred to (the unattractive guy) wasn't even aware of this situation.. and I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me like that, either. WHAT DO I MAKE OF THIS SITUATION?
We're 18, btw

You no longer need to wait for a guy to ask you out. Honestly, if he is a nice guy then just tell him you like him. If you feel like he's going to tell his friend and make fun of you or something like that, then he's not worth your time and you should move on to someone more mature. You said you guys are 18 so I'm guessing you are going to be graduating soon? Some of my closest friends in high school don't even talk to me anymore. You just grow apart. You don't want to miss any opportunities. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
