A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I seem to be in a current situation where things began fairly straight forward yet has come to a weird conclusion. I have a crush on this guy who at first seemed like he liked me back (I've known him for a couple of months now). There were several signs that I thought were quite prominent:

1. Once when I let him borrow something, I asked him to give it to a mutual classmate so she could return it to me as I was definitely seeing her later. However, he insisted on going out of his way to give it back directly to me by coming back to the mutual classmate's place where I was waiting for her.

2. Now on a regular basis he walks me to the gates of the university when I go home (he lives on campus, I live off campus). He even bothered to do so when he clearly was ill with a cold.

3. Just before a long holiday when the whole class was about to leave, we arranged to watch a film together the day I got back since there wasn't any time to meet up before leaving for the vacation (he had also cancelled on a film night before because of his cold). When saying goodbye we hugged three times (all initiated by him, I was going to walk away after saying a neutral goodbye). Later that day he sends me a text saying that he was glad to have a friend like me, and to make sure that I called him when I was around again.

When I got back, I did call and he seemed quite excited to hear from me, and his behaviour from before didn't really change, as in joking, teasing, and talking to me quite a lot. We arranged to go to eat dinner with friends but when I brought up the film afterwards he said that we should wait to ask other classmates to join in and enjoy the film, so he suggested to He still walked me to the gate to see me off home, I wasn't sure how to take this as to me it seemed to be a gentle brush off... I wonder if he's trying to tell me if he just wants to be friends. Perhaps he was just being polite before and I didn't notice?

Any advice and insight would be much appreciated.
