writes:Ok, this may have been asked before, but how do you tell if a guy is interested but nervous, or just wanting to be friends. Rather than type the entire story, I thought I would bullet point the goings on and I would appreciate anyones input. Right now I am at that annoying bursting point of wanting to say something, and the terror of doing it. I am also aware when you attracted to someone, you may pick up on things that arn't there, so here goes.Signs perhaps he does:He use to be very nervous around me when on our own, but outgoing when others were there. He also, until we started communicating more, didn't look at me. He still when we have a conversation will look in another direction, and at me for a moment. He drew me heart once when tipsy.When I mention a common interest, he has commented on how him and his mates were thinking of doing that, and I should come.He is very sweet, and helpful (could just be a nice guy)I catch him looking at me sometimes, and then he will look away.Signs perhaps he just wants to be friends, or aquantences:Sometimes he will completely blank me, although I confess I do him sometimes too due to shyness.I know texts aren't the be all, but thinking perhaps he was shy, tryed to initiate a text thing, so he knew it was ok to contact me. He took 2 weeks to respond, the 2nd time straight away, but he has never contacted me first.His friends have mentioned how he was into someone a few months ago, but the reactions with me were still ongoing.There is no contact. Perhaps my shyness, but with guys generally I can have a joke, unless I am attracted, but we don't have any contact whatsoever.Maybe I am being silly. And I know I should initiate more of a friendship, but the only opportunity I get is if I bump into him at college, and we don't really hang outside ever.I may sound impatient, but this has been going on a year, should I bite the bullet, or am I being daft. There is a lot more, but I think the above gives the general idea.Thank-you for your time.

 I say just friends..A guy who likes you doesn't initiate texting and take 2 weeks to get back to your response. Also, if you two share common interests rather than inviting you to tag along with him and his mates, he would suggest that you two do something together. You're right you're picking up on signs that aren't there.
