A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

okay, so I've been crushing on this guy for a while. a sophomore guy (as i am a freshman). we only have classes together on Fridays, and were pretty much inseparable at that time. but any other time, we just pass each other by.

this Friday was a bit of a different story. i was waiting for my bus (which comes an hour after school), when i noticed his ride wasn't there yet. so we started talking, and talk we did.

after a while, we went down to a local mini-mart cause he was hungry. i didn't have any money on me, so i just tagged along. i was waiting in line with him when he told me i could go and grab a ramen cup if i wanted, he would pay.

i said thanks and grabbed one. i told him i would pay him back, but he said i didn't need to. also, and i nearly quote, "normally, i would be all stingy, but I'll buy it for you".

as we walked back to campus, i noticed my bus had just left. i waited a little less than an hour before his mom came to pick him up. luckily, his mom offered me a ride. so he drove me home (he has a permit). before i left, i got his number. so i texted him, and he texted back, then i texted back... and then nothing... until the following day, when he texted me, then i texted back... and then nothing again.

later, a mutual friend of ours told me he told the guy of interest. about an hour later, he texted me with something random, then i texted back... then silence once more. he texted me later, and to no avail the same pattern appeared.

on Monday, i was eating lunch. and since we eat lunch close to each other, i spotted him and cowered. he didn't say anything, but we made awkward eye contact. A few minutes later he texted me saying how amazing is the new zelda game. i responded... and then, no response.

today, i was passing through to get to class, when we passed each other. yet another awkward eye contact. then at the next passing, we passed each other and he mentioned how cold it was. we talked about the weather for about a minute then split paths.

pretty much every time i pass him, we have this awkward eye contact. not to mention the lack of response in texting. we don't have school til next Monday, so i have some time to think about my next course of action.

what should i do?

bluecow agony auntThe only way you are going to know if he is interested in either a platonic or romantic relationship is to actually be with him.

why dont you ask him to show you how good this zelda game is? I realise it might not be your thing, but it opens up the opportunity to spend some time together getting to know one another.

Texting isnt exactly a great way to begin any relationship (romantic or just friends), so try to find a way to actually have a conversation with him.

Also, acting so shy whenever you see him, may make him think you are not interested in him at all. Next time make eye contact and smile! It seems to me that he is trying to instigate contact, but you need to be more pro-active.

So_Very_Confused agony aunttexting is no way to have a friendship... and you can't base how a person feels about you on whether or not they text you, if i did I'd think my boyfriend hates me... he never replies to my texts...

you should just BE YOURSELF and relax...

stop trying to MAKE something happen and let it just go with the flow...
