How obvious do I have to make myself before he realises the signs im sending him. I really like him!

Here we go again ... I like this guy in the year above me and we don't actually talk at all. We used to but we drifted apart because none of us made the next move (too shy). I know he likes me still cause I catch him staring at me from the other side of the room and stuff. Well today I was walking through the school corridors and I see hes in front of me.My heart starts racing ect and I get that feeling.But then suddenly he stops walking forward, turns around and hes walking towards me. Its just me and him alone so it feels awkward.For the first time I give him eye contact and a half smile and he looks at me like "what are you doing?".

What the hell was that about please?

What can I do to tell him Im interested? (Im not good with words) HELP! Thanks

americanpatriot agony auntIt looks to me like he forgot something, had to go back to get it, and found out you were following him in the hall (whether it was intentional or not), and it surprised him that you were there. Next time he watches you from across the room, that's when you should make eye contact and flash a coy smile. Use your charms on him when he's already paying attention to you. You could give him a sincere compliment on a new haircut or whatever. That might be the best way to get him to see that you like him.

This article may be of help to you, what guys say about telepathically sending messages and signals.

Signs just don't work dear, they don't understand what message you're trying to give them..they just think you're acting strangely, or ask you if you feel ok. If you want him, you're going to have to get verbal. "Hey, what are you doing Friday night...do you want to catch that (whatever hot movie is playing)?" or a simple "I like you" works.

Griffo agony auntThis is really simple. You see all you are doing is exchanging signals. Who cares about signals they just slow you down and can be taken totally the wrong way, ie: the way he looked at you like "what are you doing" thing. Just lay the cards on the table and make a move why let something great just pass you by?

Ask him out to something he's interested in and that you would be interested in. A movie, sport, a walk, just ask to do something with him.

chigirl agony auntIts hard to tell if he likes you or not. The old classic way was to have a friend ask the boy you like if they like you back. If you think thats an option you could have a friend of yours check it out. Maybe someone can get his msn for you, and you can send him a smiley on there for starters?

You really just need to do something to start up conversation again. A simple "hi" should do the trick. Just start by smiling a little when you see him, then move on to saying hello.

As for "signs" you are sending him, I don't think you are sending any signs at all. At least you didn't describe what you do to make him realize, in fact the impression I get is that you give him signals that you don't like him at all! If you don't look him in the eyes, don't talk to him anymore, don't want to be alone in a room with him... he might just think you are avoiding him and don't like him!

Having been a teenage boy, I can tell you how oblivious we are. The only way you will ever get his attention is to talk to him. A girl once fancied me, and spent a whole month hinting. I didn't even notice her. then one day she told me how she felt, and understood all those looks and smiles. I'm not saying teenage boys are stupid, but they're pretty oblivious when it comes to girls. You want his attention, then you'll have to just talk to him. He will not notice you otherwise.
