In one of my college classes there is this guy who occasionally glances over to where I am sitting. For the first couple of classes, I honestly didn't even notice this guy. But one day I noticed he was looking over at me, or at least I think he was. Since then I noticed him looking at me a couple of times, and I think he's noticed that I've been looking at him too. But he never talks to me after class. Sometimes I will take a little longer to pack up my stuff so that I'm right behind him, or he's right behind me. But he just walks right on by, like he doesn't see me.Am I just imagining that he might be interested? Or am I right in thinking there might be something there? I'm pretty shy around new people (especially cute guys) and am terrified of rejection, so I don't want to say anything if this is all in my head. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Do the whole drop your pencil thing or ask for help on a question, discuss a recent test or the teacher or the class-anything! It's hard to tell whether he likes you, but if you get to know him better you will probably be able to tell if he likes you romantically. If he doesn't you can always just be friends or study-partners or whatever, but if he does like you then you'll be glad you made the move to get to know him!! And besides, college is the time to get over your fears and just take chances and open up, so seriously don't be afraid of rejection or feel self-conscious! Good luck!

It is possible you both are just shy, so if you want to get something going, you're going to have to think up some excuse to start talking to him. Ask him something about the class, ask for help with something, say a small something and try to get some sort of acquaintanceship going... if a guy is shy, it's hard to tell; the only thing you can really do is take the first chance.
