We hang in different groups completely, let's say he would be in the popular crowd and I'd be in the 'geek' crowd if you like. Until a couple of years ago we never really spoke or anything like that. But then a couple of years ago in class he started asking to borrow pencils and the like. Then, from there, he moved to a seat along the row from me and while I was working I would often catch him out of the corner of my eye staring at me but when I looked round he would look away. I caught him looking a LOT during the couple of years we had the same class. He started saying hello to me regularly if we passed in the street, even if he was with his friends who all disliked me. At one point, he was outside school and was holding the door shut so that nobody could get inside but when I came along he asked me the 'password'. I told him I didn't know and he just grinned and let me in. After this, there was one point in class when he and the teacher were having a laugh, and I happened to look round in his direction. He caught my eye, paused, and then told a joke and then grinned at me. I got the impression he was trying to impress me. This happened quite a few times in class.His friends then suddenly liked me. They stopped making jokes at my expense, and a couple even complimented me.Then just yesterday I collected an award at school after not speaking to X for a few months, and although he was sitting with his friends again, he smiled at me and said 'Well done'.Do you think he's just been friendly? Am I reading too much into it? Or do you think there's a possibility that he might perhaps like me?

If there was a spark I'm sure if X was the confident guy in the popular group as you say, something would have been done to further a relationship with you. Prehaps step up and make the first proper move...make a convo with the guy and try to get in with his friends - guys love a girl with confidence! And the fact that they may have stopped all their remarks is that they've finally grown up!!

Aw! I think he's being very cute. Labels exist in highschool, in college, in life... but when it comes down to it, they are no reflection of who YOU really are. I think you should just be yourself around him. He sees something in you; he doesn't see your "label." I would be friendly with him and if he wants to make a move, he will do it. One thing for sure is he shows interest in you. Just go with it and have fun!
