Question - (17 February 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 February 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Okay, so here it goes.

I have a crush on this guy from school, who is in two of my classes.(Yes, I know it seems juvenile for me to ask this since I am a college student, but please bare with me). Okay well, I had seen him several times on campus before and I even had a class with him last semester, but I had never talked or interacted with him. Well, I was always intrigued by him; he is cute IMHO, he's the studious,cute shy type. He has glasses and his appearance is that of someone who is himself, he's not trying to be something he is not. Which I find very refreshing and also attracts me more to him. In our previous class last semester, anytime we made eye contact, we would both stay quiet and look away. I just figured he was shy. Well, this semester I have him for two classes. Well, last week I got the nerve to ask him if I could borrow his notes from one of the classes because I registered late and had missed a couple of days in the beginning of the semester (I asked him in our 2nd class that we have together). At first, when I asked him if I could borrow the notes, he seemed like he was just looking at me and not really listening but then he noticed that I kept rambling, so he paid closer attention. He just kept being quiet while I asked, but I could tell he was listening more attentively. I asked him if I could get his e-mail, so I could get in contact with him and he agreed, so he told me and I wrote it down. Well, later that day (it was a Friday) I emailed him asking him when it would be convenient for him to let me make copies of his class notes. Oh and because I was nervous and not paying attention when I asked him for the favor, I never formally introduced myself. So I am pretty sure, he had no idea what my name was. I know, so rude. So in the e-mail, I introduced myself and I let him now that I looked up his name in the class roster online since I had his school e-mail address. I don't want him thinking I'm a weirdo. Here's what I wrote:

Hey Blank,

Hey, I feel bad about bothering and stopping you after class, but I really need those notes. Oh by the way, my name is blank. I didn't even notice that I didn't introduce myself, I know so rude. smh. But yeah if you could be so kindly and let me borrow your notebook so I can scan the notes, whenever you can or is more convenient for you of course, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I know I'm asking for a big favor, but my acquaintance who is in our class, keeps giving me the run around about the notes situation and well we have a Midterm soon. That's why I'm panicking! Btw, I looked up your name on the roster, because I'm a rude person and can't introduce myself. lol. Thanks again. Have a blessed day.

Okay, I know I ramble alot. But that is exactly what I wrote in the e-mail.

This is what he replied:

Hey Blank(referring to me),

How's it going! Don't feel bad, I don't mind at all. :) I can get you the notes on Sunday if your free then. You can give me a call at PHONE NUMBER and we can meet up and I'll get you my notes! Talk to you soon and you have a blessed day too!!!!!

Blank (cute guy)

I thought it was nice of him to give me his personal number so I can reach him better, even though I didn't ask for it. (I'm not trying to be rude).

So I finally texted him on Sunday. He replied with wishing me a Happy Valentine's day and asking how I was and how my day was going (again, very nice of him). So we texted back and forth, but unfortunately I was not able to meet up with him at the time he specified, so instead he told me that he would just bring the notes to class the next morning. I know, I know! I wish I could have gone, but I didn't have my car!

Anywho, because he was so nice in letting me borrow his notes, I asked him if he liked starb*ucks. He said yes and then I told him that I was stopping by there in the morning and I asked him what he would like from there. I wanted to show my gratitude for his generosity, in letting me borrow the notes. Okay, so the next day, I was late to class because I was in line getting the coffee. He texted me saying that he felt bad and that he should have gone with me to get the coffee before class. I told him it was fine. He uses smilies alot in his text messages, and from my understanding guys do that when they are being flirtatious or when they like a girl. And today he missed class and texted me if I could let him borrow my class notes from today, which I did. And I gave him the notes in our 2nd class. But there's a BUT! There's a girl, who is prettier than me IMHO, who sits next to him. She maybe his girlfriend, I don't know? Well, when I gave him the notes, she waited with him. Which got me thinking that maybe they are an item?

Okay so my question is: Do y'all think this guy likes me or do you think he is just being nice?

I think he is really cute, and I've developed a full on crush on him this semester. I just like so many things about him, his mannerisms, his hair, his cute glasses, the way he smiles and blushes, everything... even though I don't know alot about him still. BUT maybe I'm seeing things that are not what really is occurring or I'm imagining things? I know I'm probably jumping the gun here, but I want opinions from others.

Please be honest. And Thank You in advance :)

A female reader, Apparition United Kingdom +, writes (23 February 2010):

I think the best thing to do is bear these nice gestures in mind, but perhaps wait a little bit longer before being totally convinced. What you've mentioned in your post is quite promising, but then again he could just be simply being a genuinely lovely person with these gestures and not have any other feelings apart from friendship. Just wait a little bit longer and observe his behaviour when you're with him, then you should be able to tell a bit better... then perhaps suggest going out together somewhere (if he lets it be just the two of you, then that's a very good sign!).

10 to 1 he is interested. Ask him on a date, or if you aren't comfortable with that, ask him to lunch or something.

I think he really likes you. Ask him on a date and then you'll know for sure! Make sure you say it's a DATE!

There's nothing worse than never asking and always wondering. Don't worry about the other girl. If she's his girlfriend, then the timing just didn't work out for you two. But at least you'll know!
