writes:Hey guys....well basically I just want to know if you guys thinks this college friend likes me, as I am not too good at this kind of thing.I've just moved up to college and I've known the guy since high school but we never talked...at all. In college not many people from my high school actually go there. So the people who do, we all tend to stay together. Anyways the guy is kind of the 'strong silent' type and rarely ever talks to anyone he doesn't know. But we've been spending a lot of time together lately and he's started opening up to me and wants to know all about me, for example he knows my timetable and when we'll have free periods together.He'll only ask me when I finish, even if we're with the rest of our friends and he know what I like and don't like. When he's got a free period without me he asks me to stay with him even though his friends are there. He behaves differently around girls other than me (hes all chatty around me) and he'll tell me pointless things like he told me a car beeped at him on the way to college, and he'll always sit next to me if I have sat down. Or ask why I have sat down at the other end of the table. Some times we'll get off the bus at the same stop and he'll look back for me or he'll slow down. He's always smiling when he's near me and he sticks up for me. Once his friends were joking with him that he liked this girl, I know he denied it, and when they left 30 minutes later, he said to me, 'i don't really like your friend'..... sorry its long and confusing but any help would be much appreciated Thanks :)

This guy sounds adorable! To me all the strange 'pointless' things he's saying are because he's nervous, it sounds like he really likes you and he's desperately trying to make conversation and this is just what he comes out with. If he's been quiet all his life he won't have developed many skills in terms of making conversation, so this is how he does it. If you want a relationship with him, just keep talking to him and help him build his confidence, his conversation will develop and he'll become a lot more comfortable with you. It really seems like he's trying so hard to impress you, I'd give it a shot if you want to!

reader, anonymous, writes (17 December 2011): They sound like rather promising signs to me! I mean, since this guy is generally quite reserved, it's easier to spot if he's more expressive in your regard. Consider the evidence: he's stated confiding in you about himself, he's taking an interest in you as a person, he's noted the times when you'll be around, he's happy to engage in general conversation, he wants to sit next to you when you're there, and he's anxious for you to know that he's not interested in other girls... :)If you feel brave enough, how about asking him if he wants to hang out outside of college sometime? You could go for a casual coffee or a walk in the park - as friends, if you like. I honestly don't think you have anything to lose. After all, beneath that "strong and silent" mask, he could be rather shy and waiting for you to make the first move. Of course, you can simply let things develop at their own pace for now and see how it turns out. Either way, it doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about - it could be just a matter of time! Good luck and take care x
