He even introduced one of his friends to me and invited me to the youth church. On the days when I would leave church quite quickly or won't come he would approach my mum and ask after me. He approached my Mum about three times. when I didn't come to the Christmas carol he approached my mum again. He said that he was sad that I didn't come and he really thought I would come, he even called me sweet at the end. So I went to the Christmas dinner, and I don't really have any friends in the church and my mum was busy so I sat in a big room by myself. Before I knew it he and his friends came to drop some things off. He said one line to me and that was all, "I haven't seen you in ages." I was so confused because he made it seem like he was interested in me and wanted to talk to me, but whenever he gets the opportunity he just disappears or ignores me. It was so awkward because I was clearly bored and uncomfortable, but he just went off with his friends. He seemed really interested, but now I'm just confused. Then new year's eve came and him, my mum and me lined up to get a blessing. My mum began to speak to him and theen there was a really awkward moment when we said Happy New Year to each other, but, he gave me a really wired look; kinda like disgust and annoyance. When he used to talk to me I use to tense up and keep my answers quite short and silly, but he still called me sweet, to MY MUM, so I thought alright he likes me. What should i do, should I pursue a friendship or just leave it? His Mum called me beautiful and I think his sister thinks he likes me. I'm a 15 year old and I go to an all-girls school so I'm not used to boys at all. I think he's quite sweet. Do you think he likes me, what should I do or say?

It sounds like he's a friendly guy and a church-regular and he wants other young people who attend the church to feel they are welcome - by aking them to join with the the youth church activities and getting to know all the other young people etc.
You keep expecting him to approach you more to get to know him better. HE'S expecting YOU to join him and his friends so they can get to know you.

Shy people who tense up and shrink when you talk to them is hard. You give up after a few tries.

Maybe he does but you have to give him signals. "The bored look" isn't very encouraging. You could even ask if he'd like to go out sometime... I don't remember what kids your age do... the worst that would happen is he'd say no. It's not a big deal and doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
