We hang out with the same group of people and we've gotten to know each other better this semester than we did last semester, and we have cool stuff in common (we both write, play chess, and have similar taste in books, as well as both being really quiet). I've asked him to play chess with me and he's obliged, and we've played for two hours while barely saying a word, haha. We also played ping-pong for two hours straight one time (not keeping score, chasing the ball all over the room) and didn't say a word that entire time either and it was great fun. More recently, we had a staring contest for three and a half hours - barely any speaking, but lots of finger-sword-fighting and poking each other while staring, and everyone who saw us thought we were both insane, haha - and stayed up all night last night doing nothing, just hanging around and talking and being silly. Whenever our group of friends walks around town, he and I usually end up walking together in the back, don't ask me how that always happens but it does. It seems that somehow we always end up in the same place as each other. Although he's not touchy himself, he lets me mess with/braid his hair (which is long), sometimes when we're sitting by each other our legs/knees end up touching and this doesn't seem to bother him as he doesn't move away, and last night he let me prop my legs on his and later on put my head on his shoulder (a couple of minutes later he nudged me and was like "you're gonna fall asleep," which was true so I stopped - hey, it was 4:30). I figure this can't be a bad sign?Sooo. My friend is not a very typical guy and all the silly "Does he like me?" advice you can find online is not helpful in figuring him out, but I'm wondering if there's a quiet kind of interest going on here. I mean... would you really spend three and a half hours having a staring(/poking) contest with someone you weren't attracted to? Haha... Reply to this Question

 My guess is this guy lacks confidence in his approach to women which isnt necessarily bad however it could also mean he is not a good communicator. This is certainly a possibility. From what I read, yeah he is interested. ask him out on a formal date and take the reigns, cause im certain he will not. good luck
