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

I met this 27 year old medical school student at my university. He seems really shy/quiet and polite. I am not 100% sure if he is shy or just the quiet type. However, we became friends and had very few conversations during these past two months. He always offers to help me with anything I have since we are both studying for exams. I am trying to get into medical school, and he is already a medical school student studying for his board exams. Due to this, he is really quite the busy bee.

I am wondering if he likes me because he is very polite towards me, friendly, smiles a lot and stares at me constantly and then as soon as I catch him in the act, he quickly turns away and pretends as if he was doing something else lol. Once, I asked him for help on something, and he even jokingly said, "what do you command me today", in a sweet and cute way. In the beginning, he used to also hover around the area I studied and constantly would walk back and forth around the area where I was sitting.

Eventually, after we became friends, he hasn't been showing this much attention towards me and part of me feels that it's only because he doesn't want to be discovered. I am a very outgoing girl and I think he finds me physically attractive. He also has a close friend whom he studies everyday with that constantly always stares at me and says hello. When I talk to my guy friends at school, if I run into the guy I like while studying, I sense that he is not as friendly as normal and acts a bit indifferent. He often also looks annoyed or slightly mad. But I am not sure if this is truly the case or if that's just because he's not interested in me?

Do you think I am bothering him? Is he annoyed by me? He doesn't seem annoyed when I ask him for help, but there are just days where I feel he gives me mixed signals! Please help! Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback :) The only problem is I get a little shy with guys I like and I don't know lately I feel he's been avoiding me and not being around during the same times I study but I haven't been asking him too many questions either. He asked me if I needed anything not to be shy and ask him lol since I did say hello yesterday. However, I felt when I said hello to him while he was studying that he looked almost annoyed to see me in the beginning. But then he spoke really nicely to me throughout the conversation, but in the beginning, it seemed like he was either annoyed or maybe just busy studying. Towards the end of the conversation, he also put his head down and pretended to doodle on his paper or so it seemed, cause he could've been trying to give me a signal to leave him alone so he could study, but I really don't think that was the case. He also maintained good eye contact throughout most of the conversation and smiled and playfully joked with me. Also, everytime he passes by he still looks at me a lot and when I was happy once while walking by due to the big smile on my face, I looked at him while walking since he was to my side from a distance and he seemed happy but was looking at the floor. His friend is also extra friendly and says hello all the time. I am very confused about this one. I have no idea if I should keep initiating conversations or not, or just accept the fact that he may not like me. Please help! Thank you so much again :)

Yes. He does. Being an outgoing girl, it shouldnt be an issue to ask him out once or even ask him directly. :) good luck.

If you like him, you better do something. I think he's interested and maybe a little jealous when you talk to other guys. If he is that shy he won't make a move without being sure you like him.
