Am I too hopeful that he likes me? What do you think?

Question - (10 October 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 October 2013)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So-- this guy is in two of my classes here at college. He is in my major. He sits by me in both classes. There is a group of 4 of us in the same major that stick together (all boys plus me). Anyways, I cannot explain to you how attracted I am to this guy! I usually stay pretty calm, cool, and collected around guys that I like -- but with this guy I cannot keep it together. I make myself look like a complete IDIOT. I say stupid things, laugh at things that aren't funny, trip over myself, and embarrass myself SO much. It's horrible!!

The thing that drives me the most nuts is that I can't tell if he likes me! I can usually get a really good read on guys, but this guy is different. Here is how we interact:

He sits by me. We talk. He'll laugh at my jokes and give me little off-hand compliments (like "you can type really fast", "you're so organized", etc.). I'll catch him staring at me, and his body language says to me that he is interested (looking me up and down, eyes dilate when he looks at me, smiles at me, etc.)

BUT the problem is.... One moment he will be doing all of the above-mentioned things, and then the next minute he will ignore me and act really weird. I can't tell if it's because he is trying to act cool and impress me? Or if I'm not being expressive enough to him, and he doesn't think that I am interested? But he'll try to talk to a lot of girls in between talking to me. All while still looking in my direction. Is he trying to make me jealous? Or am I just WAY too hopeful that he likes me?

I do have his number, and we've texted twice (about homework, and then about his audition for a talent show). I really just want to know if I am way too invested in my wishful thinking, or am I reading him right? I just want him to ask me on a date!

It just makes me CRAZY!! I don't want to like him because I can't tell if he likes me, and he makes me absolutely insane. But if he doesn't like me, I want to know now so I don't continue to make a fool of myself. Help me! I am so into this guy that it causes me physical pain (butterflies in the stomach, etc).

What do I do? What is this guy's deal?

Miss.Cupid agony auntthe first question I have for you is at the beginning of the class i'm assuming you guys picked your own seats, since it is in fact college. But who sat first? it makes a difference if you guys are both in the same class the second time around maybe he choose to sit next to you because you looked familiar. I don't really see major signs his into you. because you are the only girl in that class and you do sit next to him maybe that's the reason he talks to you. you should spontaneously text him. you do have his number. and if he likes you he'll not only keep up with conversation but maybe your texts will become more of a daily thing? give it a chance.
