writes:This guy I've liked for a while has been showing signs of liking me back. The other night, for a class field trip, we went downtown to a play. We ended up staying together the entire time, which is atypical. It seems like we always kind of split into our different friend groups. But when the class had to split up for dinner, he kind of made sure I stuck with him. We stayed together, went off to other places by ourselves, and flirted the whole night and he seemed nervous the whole time. Later, when we were watching the play, he sat next to me. A boy who was sitting in front of us even said, "Hey *name*, like your seat?" to him, referring to our flirting, and he was embarrassed. Anyway, all of that night was good, full of flirtation and nervousness and happiness. Even today during our classes together we were talking more than normal. Oh and sidebar, just because I can never be 100% sure if someone likes me, here's something he's constantly doing around me: flipping and trying to mess with his hair. Whenever we're talking he tends to rub his hair with his hand more than usual. I know that's a weird thing to notice, but it means he likes me, right?Ok back to the problem: But then today we had to meet after school for play rehearsal and he wasn't making any effort to talk to me the whole time. It was hours long and he just stuck with his friends and talked to other girls more. I tried to talk to him but he wasn't being nearly as friendly as the other night. But earlier in the day, when it was just us in class, he was being as friendly as the other night. I discretely caught him glancing at me regularily out of my peripheral, but when I tried to talk to him he seemed uninterested. What gives?

 By his hair rubbing he could be one of those odd kids, that have the need to touch people while they're talking to them..like playing with your ear. Or he could be flirting with you, which is a very awkward way to flirt.
Why don't you cut to the chase, stop trying to decipher signals and ask him what's up? You felt like he was flirting with you the other day, but now you're cold turkey to him. He may correct you and tell you he was just being friendly. There's no way to tell for sure unless you ask directly.

 okay so he might like & is just realllllly scared 2 speak 2 u in front of his friends b|C ur so pretty or he is... just a guy who likes the chase? sorry to say but a guy who likes shouldn't be afraid to talk 2 u in front of his friends & should be glad when u speak 2 him & try every time he gets a chance 2 be nice 2 u. it might be something like now that u r talking to him he doesn't feel the need to show an effort so he is slowly backing off? I say have fun balance ignoring him leaving him confused & being nice and sweet if u like him :] good luck!
