I think this boy was creating a pretext to contact me. Am I perhaps reading into it too much?

Ok guys here's one for you.

This guy phoned me up the other night asking if i took a subject so i could help him with it, i didn't and gave him my friend's number so he could ask her. However i am pretty sure he knew i didn't take it and also he didn't phone her.

I don't understand why, if it were me, i would phone up and ask that if he really needed help. Was he just being shy or was he hiding another agenda. Am i being stupid and reading into this too much? if so what did he want?

Good to see you like him :) Lucky guy, no heartbreak for him yet (I had my first broken heart at this age, 12-13).

Well, I've never been lucky in love (I actually have my own question going, about the girl I love, but she likes some guy she hardly knows and pretty much just met more...), but here's probably your best paths:

You can either tell him you like him (Which is probably the best thing),

or

You can wait for him to make another move. If he's shy and kind and everything else, he probably won't do that unless he thinks it's alright. Shy men don't tend to be very dominant, so he might really want to but be too afraid to, in case he offends you or something.

There's a third thing, which would be to just ask him out, but he might withdraw due to his shyness if you're that direct.

So, I'd say, tell him you like him and take it really slow from there. It might take him a while to gather the courage to really ask you out, but as long as he knows that you like him back, he should get there.

Happy studying the subject of loooove! :P

That sounds so cute...like something I'd do.

I'll tell you what, OP. If you like him, go for it. But don't be too aggressive, or he'll back off. And if you don't like him, try not to break his heart, that's a very bad thing to do and seriously ruins how people see the world sometimes.

If you don't like him or have a boyfriend, find out if you know someone who likes him and introduce them or something.

kenny agony auntIts so obvious that he rang you up becuause he really fancies you. He was to shy to say anything to you along those lines, so i think he used that excuse with you as a sort of icebreaker. If he really wanted help with that subject he would have phoned that other girl who's number you gave him. So to answer your question with what did he really want, i most certainly think its because he has a thing for you.

All the best x

Dr Vendetta agony aunti keep having to remind myself that teenagers today don't know what this world is all about.

he probably has a crush on you and wants to get to know you. its the classic thing of " help me study"

so to answer your question. yes you are being stupid because i feel its pretty obverious.

and you're reading the wrong page compeletely.
