writes:First of all, hi there!Well this is sort of a long story so apologies in advance :)I think it started around January, I like anime (you know, Japanese anime and manga) and I thought "hmm I wonder if there are any anime conventions in the Uk" as there are lot's America I believe. So I searched and found one surprisingly close to me which takes place once every two years and bingo, it's taking place this novemeber! two days after my birthday :DI joined the website and my friends and I bought tickets. On the site there is a forum section where you can organize meet ups before hand so you know a lot of people by the time the convention actually occurs (it's 3 days long).Someone from the forum shortly after I joined and posted a couple of times added me on Msn, let's call him L. We got on instantly, as we obviously already shared a passion of manga and we both like video games and similar music etc.There was a meetup arranged two months in advance of when we started talking and we talked every day without fail almost, talking about everything and how much we were looking forward to meeting each other. To be honest I felt he was flirting a little, he would say -prod- to me if I didn't reply quite quickly, we then added each other on facebook and on the Playstation 3. He would say things like "we should go and get fabs :3" (fabs are an ice lollies if anyone did not know :P) He gave me his number the day before the meetup.So the big meetup day came and needless to say I was nervous, I was with my friends so it wasn't as bad. My stomach was in knots though! haha I seen him standing with other people from the meet up so we went along and said hi BUT he didn't even say anything to me, he said hi to my friends though. We all walked around finding somewhere to eat (there was about 12 of us and everyone was really nice!) and still he talked to everyone else aside from me :( he kept looking at me and then looking away if I looked back at him and this happened for the full 6 hours or so. I left with my friends feeling quite dissapointed.When I got home he was on msn and straight away he said "Sorry for not talking, I was really shy, I'm not usually like that, it was just with you I was D:"I haven't been to a meet up since, the next one which him and I will be at is in just under a month, the 7th August. I'm so scared though, especially if we don't talk like last time :(Still every day we are talking and I think we are flirting? :S I don't know, I've never had a boyfriend before haha. For instance he always randomly says *hug* and I'll say it back or he'll say *steals a big hug* or *eats* as in eats me and he will say I taste like a cupcake or something similar. He also says things like -Dances with you- and such and he also said "I need to find someone to dance with for the ball .-." (There is a ball on the last night of the convention), he is 6'2 I think and he was surprised when he discovered I was just 5ft, and he said that small girls are cute :oMost recently last night he said "*yawns*" and I said "tired? D: go to sleep! :P" and he sends *sleeps against shoulder* to me and such. I am 16 and he is 19, he will be 20 in just less than a month before I am 17, is that considered a problem? Personally I'm fine with it, he also lives a 55 minute train ride away from me, however the uni I am applying to is in the city where he lives but -fingers crossed- if I do get into that uni its not for another year anyway because I still have my last year of school left.So my question is this, Does it sound as if he may like me in a deeper way than friendship? :O I find myself falling for him and trust me, I've never really had a proper crush on anyone before and I don't want to be hurt :SThank you for taking the time to read my short story, it's appreciated :)

 I believe that he really likes you. I do the same thing as he did on the meet up, because usually im not shy, but when i really like someone, i am... i have also told this story to the boy, and he thinks he is crazy about you... i would keep talking and meeting. the only thing i would suggest is be VERY careful about meeting people in person that you have only talked to online. these things can end very badly... but you met him with friends, and i assume the next meet will be the same. be safe with the internet, it is a scary place sometimes... good luck girl. i think you've got him ;)

I will definitely try and advance the chat now :P
Thank you! (: x

 DEFINITELY sounds like he likes you. in a really big way!
Me and my current boyfriend spoken online for months and then met up, and he also didnt speak and was so shy! Yet spoke to his friends fine and other such people normaly! Tbh i was disapointed at this too as i thought that he didnt like me like i liked him. i found that he ONLY was shy to me, usualy in guys this means they like you and are afraid to like mess it up with you and are extremely embarrased because they really like you.
This guy really likes you :) So play how you are atm, just being friendly and the hugs thing, maybe like advance the chat to *kisses cheek* or something and see how he reacts, then he might advance it more. Eventually he will see you do like him like he likes you :) just dont give up hope!
