Am I mistaking friendly behavior for something more?

Question - (9 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 October 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

A guy i've liked for about a year is giving me hopeful signals but i don't want to misinterpret them so i hope you can help me.

I've read a lot about body language and how it can show the way someone feels about you. I know the basics, such as eye contact and laughing at everything you say...etc, but the guy in question, today, he had his body facing directly towards me as he were talking to my friend who was stood next to him, his feet were also pointing in my direction and because we were facing directly towards each other, eye contact was unavoidable. But it seemed like neither of us could hold it for very long, I never feel comfortable making eye contact with someone i like because it makes me feel extremely nervous so i tend to look away after a second.

Today, he laughed at something i said which wasnt even meant to be funny but his amusement made me smile. Also before i'd met up with him and my friend.. her and him had been talking about stuff and she told me that he wants ME to come out with him one night (when i'm 18). He's invited me to places loads of times, but he never actually asks me in person, he suggests it to my friends who then tell me! which i find a bit strange really.

But i'm not sure if all of this means he likes me? He rejected me about a year ago and since then things went downhill but we still talk alot when we see each other. I think the reason for the rejection may have been to do with the fact that i'd only known him a month before announcing my feelings (drunkenly).

He usually seems nervous when we're alone together, and would avoid eye contact ALOT. But we haven't been 'alone' for a few months now so things may have changed, i'm not sure.

Within the last few weeks, i've heard that he's called me 'gorgeous' and 'a great lass' but again, not to my face but to a mutual friend. He also told me he misses me because i'm not in his lessons anymore, he always makes comments on what i say like in a jokingly way and he always looks pleased to see me when we bump into each other.

But am i mistaking friendly behaviour for something more? if you require anymore details, then just ask. There's alot more i could write but i thought i would keep to the basics. Thank you to anyone who responds x

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

To previous poster, he actually only seems nervous around me. From what i've observed on his behaviour towards other girls, he appears very laid back and relaxed with them... but when i'm around he comes across as quite shy, but this is more noticeable when it is just me + him alone. Once we just muttered a few words to each other and then went on our phones because we both felt really uncomfortable talking to one another, there is such a tense atmosphere between us... but i'm still unsure whether this can interpreted to suggest that he likes me? I just don't want to build my hopes up because i've experienced ALOT of disappointment in the last few years.

To me it seems as if he likes you based on that hes nervous but is he nervous only around or other girls too??
