I have a crush on the guy that had a crush on me. But does he still have feelings for me?
Question Posted Sunday October 21 2012, 11:57 pm
(THIS IS REALLY LONG, BUT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SIGNS) Where do I even begin! I am 17 and female ,and the guy I like is 17.
Okay so there’s this guy I’ve known since 7th grade. We’ll just call him Josh. Me And josh have been friends since 7th grade, and we started out as friends, and later he began to like me, and asked me out twice, I refused both times, because at the time I didn’t really care to have a boyfriend. My 8th grade year, I started to like him, so I wrote him a love letter, he wrote one back, we did a little flirt here and there, but nothing really happened, I wasn‘t expecting anything anyway. People told me all the time we would look cute together, and they would tease both of us. But that’s whatever.
9th grade, we go to the same school, and we only had one class together. It was all fine and dandy, but we got into a sort of fight, but it wasn’t big, but the outcome was, he stopped talking to me. I was mad of the outcome, so I just left him alone, I was mad, so I didn’t care that he wasn’t talking to me. And this was the beginning of 9th grade year, so for the rest of that year, and our 10th grade year, we acted like the other did not even exist.
In comes out 11th grade year,, and I was kinda missing him, and I had 2 classes with him back to back. I was sitting in the back of the classroom while he sits in the front. One day in class, about maybe the first or second week of school, he walked to the back of the classroom and slammed a note on my desk, and walked back to his desk. I wasn’t really sure what it was going to say. But basically it said he missed talking to me, the funny conversations, and the hugs. So on that day right there, I talked to him, and I was like “Okay good, it isn’t awkward anymore’ So throughout the year…I started liking him AGAIN. I know, I’m so back and forth. But we just carried on casual conversations, but it was so nerve-wracking because you know how you have a crush, and you’re all nervous, and you try to make sure to say the same things. That’s what was going on. But, I found out the worst thing…he had a girlfriend! And I was just like damn it.
So throughout the year, I just kinda watch him and his girlfriend, we were juniors, and his girlfriend was a senior, and my friend had often told me that they had gotten into arguments, and that Josh was getting a bit annoyed of his girlfriend. Let me say this right now that I was NOT trying to break them up, that’s just ignorant. So he’s dating her, but at the same time, he’ll go out of his way, just to pat me, like we’re at lunch, he’ll come out of nowhere, and pat me on the shoulder. And everyone’s like “Ohh snap tryna get you some!” Lol, but everyone knows he has a girlfriend so its whatever.
Now it’s out senior year…and his girlfriend goes to college that‘s about 5 hours from where we live. AND NOW. EVERYTHING IS JUST SO VHHSVFPVNSPSVHFDH. I have FIVE classes with him this year, so I see him ALL the time. This is where the complication comes in. Every morning, we usually hug each other, but usually he’s the first to offer, or he’ll get sad if I don’t hug him, which is kind of cute. Other days he’ll come in class and lay his head on my shoulder and say something like “I’m tired” or something like that. If we’re walking in the hallway, he’ll hit me with his bag, which usually scares the **** out of me because it’s usually unexpected. He pokes me all the time, and I’ll poke back, just for fun, you know.
At lunch, I usually sit by where the lunch line starts, and when he comes over, sometimes he pats me on the back, or he’ll give me a hug from behind, or wrap his arms around my neck. The things he does with me, I don’t see him doing with any of his other female friends.
Another time he was in a bad mood, and I wasn’t going to bother him, because he’s a tiny bit of a mood swinger, so he was sitting in his chair, and he kept hitting me to get my attention, and then he grabbed my hand and dragged me to him..and I gave him a hug ,and I told him to get better. J
About 2 weeks ago we had this event at school, and I was sitting by myself all the way in the back, because everyone I was with went home, and Josh was all the way in the front, so he came back and sat with me. Could just be a friendly gesture, but I thought it was nice.
On the previous Friday, I was standing in the front of the school, and he came in to give something to his teacher, and he came ALL THE WAY TO WHERE I WAS, and came up behind me, and put his arms around my neck. Now he could have just went out the door, but no he came all the way to where I was, just to do that.
Anyway, from what I've told you, what do you think? Am I over-exaggerating, or do you think he still might have feelings for me? Thank you for reading!

I'm thinking that you LIKE being nerve wrecked... I cant stand that... but it may be your cup.of tea... *shrug*... anyways.. youre going insane cuz you tea kettle has been bubbling and steaming over the top.for some while now.... have you question his habits toward you though... have you noticed if any of the other guys like you or talk to you? He may be claiming you without having to claim you.... and that may be a thing that would surface on your end AFTER yall graduate...yall have too many common friends for him to make his move... #oh boy.... Is he REALLY someone you wanna be with... reevaluate your situation... WITHOUT ALL THE CRUSH CRAP... is he a loner... does he like his own family... is he "a bad boy" the outcast" "popular mack daddy"? things like that... once you find that "thing"... you'll see if this "crushing" is legit...
