I really like this guy, but I think he may only see me as a friend and I don't know what to do about it.
We have several classes together, and I end up seeing him a lot around school. If we're going to the same place after class, he'll walk down the hall with me and he seems genuinely interested in our convos, but he's not flirty. He and I sort of tease each other playfully, but I don't know if that counts.
We talk on Facebook once or twice a week. Sometimes I initiate the conversation, sometimes he does. He seems interested in what I have to say, but never flirts with me.
We have hung out before, but it's been almost a year since the last time, and it was always with a group of mutual friends. He's more popular than I am, and while I wouldn't say he is "traditionally" attractive, he does manage to get girls.
We've been in the same classes all year, but just recently started to get very friendly. I just don't really know how to comprehend his behavior, or show my interest in a non-creepy way.
Generally if someone is interested in you they telegraph it so you notice they like you. It's hard to read him beyond that. I think what you have is a friendship unfolding slowly. It may lead towards something more but right now he's not there yet so be a little cautious.
It's a good step that he's hanging with your friends with you as people not interested in possibilities wouldn't invest the time. You probably should continue this and see what happens especially if his being friendly has intensified.
The other thing you can do is a little bold and test where he's at when it comes to his perception and what he wants and tell him "I really enjoyed spending time with you and my friends. It's hard to talk though one on one with those crazy people around. Would you be open to hanging out just us and having fun?"
If he's in to you he will jump all over that and if he's not you'll know instantly that all he wants is friends if that. You should talk to him like I indicated above on Facebook or text and ask if he wants to hang just you and him. Nothing at all wrong with doing that. Probably your best bet.
