Question - (17 February 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 February 2011)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Most of the time I only talk to guys at school. There's one, though, that I don't talk to much at all. He's around sometimes because I talk to his friends, but we never really talk to each other personally. If I'm sitting there by his friends and he's talking/telling a story, he'll frequently look at me almost like he's trying to include me in the conversation because I am listening. He's a funny guy and makes remarks, and when I laugh at them I notice that he looks over at me (after he says something or while I start laughing.) I also noticed that he looks at me a lot. It's not really a stare, but his eyes dart over me more than what seems usual, and stay there a few seconds longer that a 'normal' look, maybe.

One time my good guy friend was sitting next to him and they were both in front of me, but they were sort of turned around and talking. My good guy friend says something about the guy's height and says that we're be the perfect couple because we're the same height (though he was joking because we're not.) The guy looks at me and then back towards the movie that was on in class, and I make a face at my good guy friend as if to say "yeah right." He takes it as an 'ew' face and says "what was that face about?" or something along those lines, causing the guy to turn and say "what?" and then look over to my friend. He tells him I made a face and said ew and the guy looks at me with kind of a laugh and says 'ah, thanks.' So I tell him that I didn't mean it that way because there really was no bad reaction to it, but that was that.

More recently, though, I've noticed that he looks at me more. He never says anything to me specifically unless it's about what he was already telling his friends. I was sitting next to one of my other guy friends and the guy was towards the front but turned around some, and he was looking in our direction. I was looking back at him because I didn't know if he was staring at me or the friend I was sitting next to, so the friend ask him 'what' and then asks if he was staring at him, which the guy says no, and then he says 'or are you staring at her?' I'm looking at the guy still and he sort of laughs and says 'yeah,' but then shakes his head and says 'the guy behind you.' So I guess he was staring at me because there really was no one behind us. At another moment he comes and sits on the table that I'm next to and just looks down at me without an expression really, so I look back at him. I look away first but he doesn't look away after me, so I look back up and it's then that he slowly turns away and then gets up and leaves.

I was moving into another classroom and the guy was in front of me, and a boy behind me tickled me. I made a funny noise - like a little scream/squeal- and the guy immediately turned around and stepped to the side a little, and gave me this closed-lip smile type face, looking at me (as well as me looking at him) until I passed. I didn't know what that was about.

Whenever he looks at me I try to smile a little, especially when I'm laughing.

He's asked my good guy friend if he liked me because he was flirting with me, and then he's also asked my other guy friend "are you two..." but the other friend said no, obviously understanding him because I was turned around, and then he hit him for saying that. But, again with the recurring theme, there hasn't been direct conversation between us besides more than a few words.

I was going over to get a science book and he had two in his hands and handed me one because he likes to pass them out and had already given someone else one, but I didn't know if he wanted me to take both or not. I go to grab one, but then I try to grab both, and then one again (making it sort of embarrassing for me because he didn't say anything, just sort of looked at me) and then i finally I asked if he wanted me to take both, sort of laughing a little, and he laughed a little too and said no.

I only started attending that school a few months back, but he still hasn't really talked to me. He knows all the kids there and gives everyone, especially the girls, hugs and talks to them but I seem to be the only one he doesn't say much to/interact with. He doesn't seem like the shy type, and he isn't really quiet around me unless he isn't talking to his friends.

I'm just wondering what this means. I don't think "oh my gosh, he must like me." But I don't understand. It's impossible to tell what he's thinking when he looks at me the way he does, and then most of the time he doesn't seem to acknowledge me. I'm just confused about this boy.
