Question Posted Saturday November 23 2013, 10:50 am
So there is this boy at school who I would say is fairly shy around girls and I'm not sure whether he likes me or not (I like him a lot..). Basically I always catch him subtly looking in my direction and staring at me when he thinks I can't see. He also kind of comes over to stand with me when we're waiting to go into a lesson. About 2 months agp he asked me to go to the prom with him (I said yes) but apparently it took him about three weeks to pluck up the courage to ask. His friends tease him about me and him an awful lot and say that we're a good couple and make heart shapes at us.. Whenever this happens he gets annoyed with them and calls them things which are not very nice. I don't know if he likes me because he's never asked for my number, we don't hang out outside of school (although his friends have invited me to go to the cinema with them) and recently he's stopped replying to facebook messages I send him :( I'm confused as I think I'm sending pretty clear signs that I like him and I'm not sure what to do now?

I think since he's really shy, you're going to get mixed signals. So you might as well take initiative. Give him your number, I think his friends will bug him about texting you anyways if you do. Or you can ask him for his number.

Stay tuned for more winter-related projects!
unwanted type of pressure on him to be and act the way his friends or how he guesses a girl might want him to act.
He is interested in you if he's constantly looking at you, comes to stand near you and of course has asked you to prom. He just doesnt know how to handle the extra attention all kids give to each other if it looks like you are hanging out with and dating someone.
Some of the best relationships start with a guy and gal becoming best friends like you and your girlfriends. Maybe you could let him know you'd like to be just friends with him for now, no romantic dating, maybe at a later time. And ask him what he thinks of that. He can still take you to prom though if he wishes.
My guess is he doesn't want his friends to see him together with you which is why he wont invite you to somewhere they are going to be. If he's willing to be a friend, then ask if he'd like to come to your house, just him and you to watch a movie, listen to music or hang out and talk like you would with girlfriends. Perhaps in time once he is used to hanging with you as a friend, he may be more comfortable being seen in public with you. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
