so i saw this guy at this hotel bar a couple of weeks ago and we made eye contact and when i caught him looking at me, he pointed at me from across the room. i was kind of thrown back, so i looked away. he got up from his table and came a bit closer to me and my friends, but he just stood there, crossed his arms and observed us for a while. i didn't look his way, but i could just FEEL his presence. after a bit, my friends and i just ended leaving.
then i saw him again this past wknd (SO strange b/c i live in a huge city, what are the chances of running into him again?). i was sitting at a table and i could totally tell he recognized me when he saw me. he came over and sat like 2 arms length away from me (there were a million ppl at my table, so i guess somehow we had some mutual friends). there were all these cups next to me, but he removed them so he could sit RIGHT next to me. like to the point where our shoulders were touching. so then i thought he would try to strike up a conversation or something, but he didn't. we just sat there for a bit until one of his friends came over and he was talking to him, and he somehow taps me and said something like "this is what my life has been reduced to...going out and talking to random ppl" and i just smiled and said there was nothing wrong with that. then we both got up, did our own thing, and i was by the bar talking to my friend. she walked away and i was standing there alone and he approached me and asked me how tall i was. i answered him...and then there was just this awkward silence, so then i walked away. then i was sitting at the table and he did the same thing again -- literally came and sat RIGHT next to me shoulders touching when the whole table was empty and he coulda sat anywhere. but again, SAID NOTHING. can i please ask someone what the heck does this mean and how was i supposed to react to him in this sort of situation.
i guess i should also say that i am 5'9 and i was wearing heels that night (that's why he obviously asked me how tall i was) and almost everyone i know has told me when they first met me, they thought i was intimidating and very unapproachable. i've heard that i exude this sort of aura of confidence that also doesn't help to the height intimidation. i mean are these factors that i should be concerned about? what am i doing wrong??

um there's this guy from class that i asked to study/get lunch. we set a time and date...but when i didnt see him, i call him...he said he has a quick interview to attend...anyways he did finally show up.
i brought the textbooks and was reading it when he arrived so he wont get wrong idea. we started off chatting about the course and he was like a little tutor lol..then we talked about other stuff...wanted to see his interests, etc.
during convo, he volunteered to tell me stuff about his gf (i was smiling though whole thing) ... and said compliments of other gal friends' talents. :S was he wanting me to be better?
he did ask me to study with him and other friends though and to be in this competition (related to our course) with him and his friend?
it's ok to be friends right? since i dont like him romantically?

Lol sry for the silly question...but im curious haha.
If I caught a girl staring more than once, I would think she's interested. And if I was staring back, then I am curious too. Do you know this person? If not, why not say hi to him. Maybe things can happen.
I guess girls are sometimes too subtle in our hints :/
Tell him you like him is the best way. If you cannot say it in words, then write him a letter. If you don't want to do any of that, then you can try calling him once a day or something. I usually get the hint right away if a girl calls me everyday.

The guy is too scared to go up to you and speak to you. He didn't want to be the one doing the first move. He might possibly be shy but I don't think he might be worth your time.

He just thinks of you as a friend because he told you about his girlfriend. Usually when guys talk about their girlfriend, then he is probably happy the way it is now. Just continue and go with the flow. It's all safe.

but im also wondering why he would say compliments of his other gal friends to me?
another question
while i was talking to that guy, i saw this guy friend at another table...just waved to him (he did too) but didnt go up to speak (kinda hoping he would instead LOL...and i was shy)...he was talking with 3 other gals anyway. it was first time i saw him since our orientation camp... so was the waving enough?

The guy you were with can trust to tell you about the other girls. And maybe he's really happy to have a lot of girl friends? Haha...sounds like a normal guy.
For the other guy, I am 100% sure he will say something to you the next time he sees you. This is because you both confirmed that you knew each other by the wave. Feel free to chat with him.

The last "relationship" I was in,
It just felt as if he forgot so easily & quickly,
and moved on,
while I was still stuck.
I know what you're thinking "It's different for every person", but idk.
I just wanted to hear the opinion of other guys.
Does that make sense?

So after talking some more [and me doing my best to act natural, because I don't want to show him I like him since I barely know him..] he randomly asked me "So do you go to [insert name here]?" and I said "Where?" because i'm new to town, so I didn't know what he meant... aand he repeated it a little bit louder [maybe he thought I didn't understand him cause of his accent? I don't know haha], and I sort of gave him a blank stare (which I feel bad for now because it probably came off as rude by staring blankly haha), and then for the third time, even louder and while pointing in what i'm assuming is the direction of the place, and said "Do you go to [insert name].... high school?" and I was like "Ooooh! No, i'm out of school ^^" And he said "Oh, you look young haha." and I joked around about how I get that alot, that I look like i'm like 14, [because it's true I get it ALL the time. My sister, who actually is 14 gets told she looks older then me o__o] and how it's sad. And he said "Nono it's not a bad thing!"
SO. My question is... are my chances pretty much shot with him? I mean.. he thinks I look like a young high schooler... What do you guys think? Would you still go out with someone who looks really young even though they're legally an adult? Obviously you'd probably have to get to know them better i'd assume, but after knowing them would you ever consider dating them, or would you feel like you were being a pedophile or something even if you aren't? Aish. It's so frustrating haha
Thanks in advance for any replies i get ^__^
ps. Sorry it's so long >__<;;

2. if a guy forget about study meeting with a girl, this means he doesnt care much of her? or is it true if he said he forgot to write in his cellphone (aka planner)? or maybe he likes to be chased more?

He knows how to control himself. Quite rare for a guy to be able to proudly state that he keeps it in his pants.

1. If he still talks to you, then you should be fine. I don't see why your chances would be worse than if you were an actual high school student....unless he's some creepy guy who likes girls who are a lot younger.....
2. Yes, if they act their age, it's fine.
2. if a guy forget about study meeting with a girl, this means he doesnt care much of her? or is it true if he said he forgot to write in his cellphone (aka planner)? or maybe he likes to be chased more?
1. Yes.
2. That is jumping too conclusions a bit too much. A study group means nothing. It just means a guy wants to "study" (AKA chill) with their partners and feel like they are being productive at the same time. Forgetting to write it in his planner also means nothing. I do it all the time, it just means I forgot. Nothing more. Same goes for the chased thing.

I'm currently in this situation. I'm turning 18 in a few months. I'm with this girl who is about 16 and looks 10. It's cool. It's cute. We get into buffets cheap. XD
It was my pleasure.

that same guy did call me about the business contest though and told me to text/call if im still interested. when i text him ya, he replied that he has to discuss with his other team member because there's other people interested.
i got mad of course...like what the hell asking me then.
i text back jokingly though and also ask when the study meeting's and yearbook meeting. i was also like "do you mind if i join".
when he didnt reply to my latest message, i had to call to know what he's thinking about.
he said he got my message but couldnt reply soon because he and friends always plan last minute and that wouldnt it be kind of inconvenient for me since i didnt live on campus. i was like it's ok since quite near.
he also explained there' 4 years and a high school friend that want to join the contest. so that's why it's hard to choose. since he doesnt know my past expeiences too. i was like "that's true"
i told him i havent tried this contest before but there's room for improvement right? i guess i was kinda annoyed?
he later probably got pissed off because he was ranting on how the contest's open and how i dont have to DEPEND
he said he has to go now and that he;ll call me tomorrow....
what should i do now?! i just to make friends not enemies.... i didnt think i would be clingly/annoying (i think that's how he thinks of me)
what should i say to him?
SORRRYYY SO LONG >_<

2. Yes, if they act their age, it's fine.
Well he doesn't seem like he's a creepy guy that likes young young girls [who knows though o__o i hope not haha], he seems like a really nice guy. Everyone I know who has talked to him says he's 'a really nice man' so it would be hard for me to believe he's some creepy pedophile haha. Anyways, and yes he does still talk to me, but like I said.. he's really nice. So.. maybe he's just talking to me out of his niceness/friendlyness? ._.
Haha that's cute. And thank you for posting that, it helped lift my esteem about my chances possibly not being shot xD
I do know I don't look like i'm 10 haha, 14 seems to be the general age i've gotten by- everyone. But it's nice sometimes because I was able to get into the local fair every year on kids day for free because "Under 15 is free to get in, $20 bracelet to ride the rides all day" haha.
Anyways thank you sle3pyguii and Deafz for helping to answer my question!

So my boyfriend, asked me out this friday at the dance while we were dancing and stuff.
The thing is, i dont know him that well.. like i knew him from last year but we never talked
til this year when me and him were in teh same english class together. We talk and talk.
But like im not really much of a phone person, he calls quite a few times, and im happy that he does,
but like.. whenever we talk on the phone i cant talk to him that much, cause its akward? its mostly silence,
but im the one whos trying to pick up the converstation and stuff.
dont exactly have a question for this but like, if that happened to you? what are you thinking in your head?
or do you think its fine since your girlfriend is mostly talking :S
