I've liked him for months now, and all of my friends and I were pretty sure he liked me back. We have History class together this year but when we stay in our seats, I catch him staring at me sometimes. We both quickly look away cause we are both extremely shy people. But ever since I asked him out, when we're grouped together, he cracks his own jokes that don't even make sense! Well, sometimes they do, but he made alllooootttt of jokes. I laughed AND blushed everytime :P. What's weird though, is that whenever I crack my own jokes, he laughs really obnoxiously. I don't know how he acts around other girls, I don't think he cracks as many jokes. We have lunch together right after and according to my friends, he checks me out. EVERYTIME. If he said no, why did he turn me down?

This is just a guess, but if he's a shy guy then he was perhaps surprised by your invitation. Maybe it was so unexpected he said "No" as a reaction, but didn't really mean it. He might be cursing himself and wishing he had said yes instead if that's the case. Another possible explanation, especially if he isn't in your circle of friends, is that he found the prospect of being around a bunch of people he doesn't know to be too intimidating. In other words, he might say yes to an activity that involves just you and him, but because he would be around several people he doesn't know well he felt he wouldn't be comfortable.It does sound like he's interested in you the way he cracks jokes and looks your way. That reminds me of a younger, inexperienced version of myself, actually. My suggestion is to try opening a one on one dialogue with him. It could be IMing, texting, skyping, whatever. Anything that will let the two of you get more comfortable with each other will suffice. Then when a rapport is established the two of you can move up to activities together.Best of luck!
