I'm currently a senior in high school and I've had one class with the guy in question in 9th, and 11th grade. This year, I have four classes together in a row. Since the beginning of this year, he's been staring at me in class but I've avoided it because it makes me feel awkward. Then once, we almost had eye contact but I chickened out and looked at the side of his head. But from the corner of my eyes, I could see that he was searching my eyes for eye contact. He's a really outgoing guy and he makes his presence known...being student body president and all etc... On the other hand, though I'm in Student Gov., I'm more of the shy type unless I'm with my friends and people I'm comfortable with. He does talk to some of my friends though but never started a conversation with me. I tried twice to have a conversation with him and he didn't make an effort to keep it. One time, when a classmate and I asked him a question, it seemed like he just looked at me while he answered or maybe just my imagination? Then, when he saw me in the hallway, he looked really shocked and just started but I didn't look at him. When he makes a joke or there's something funny, he'll glance at me that'll be only time we have eye contact other than when we talk. Sometimes, I feel like he's looking but I'm too afraid? to confirm it.

My problem is at first I tried to just ignore him but now that it's been a few months, I keep thinking about it. I'm not the type to talk about guys at all with my friends so even if I bring him up with our mutual friends, it would be weird. And how do I know if he likes me anyways? Plus, we hang out in different groups. And don't suggest I ask him for help with class because I'm not the type to do that at all. So basically, what can a girl like me who stays away from guys do or look for to see if he likes me? And should I take the risk?

ok. Now, I ask. Think about this.
What if he likes you? Are you gonna talk to him?
What if he doesn't? are you not gonna talk to him?


My point is. Go talk to him. if he does like you, it sounds like this guy is gonna take 10000 years to talk to you. So if no one makes a move, knowing that he likes you will do you no good.
I don't care how you talk to him, but it seems like the easiest way to do it is the one you've said, but you don't want to do it, so do whatever you want then. The point is to talk to him.

My last question, what is this so called risk?
You mean if he likes you, you're gonna try to talk to him? well what's wrong with talking to him at first?? Even if he doesn't like you, it's fine, you've made another friend.
Lol I understand that you're the shy type, and I understand it would be reallty difficult to talk to the opposite sex.
But knowing that he likes you or not will do you no good if you don't wanna take actions.

Plus, no guys like a girl the first time they see her. They are Interested in you, but in no way will guarantee that you guys will be bf/gf, unless you talk to each other.

Thanks! You raised great realistic points

Well, most likely, it won't last long either way if you find out since you're both seniors.

Agree with the first poster. Don't do that ignore thing, guys are clueless so they dont know. Talk to him, and initiate a conversation. Show him that you're interested, and if he feels the same he will follow through.

^ agree 100 % seriously we are compleatly clueless, im not afraid to admit it.... O..o

[supplayarr]

no he doesnt like you
no you shouldnt take a risk.
BUT, yes if you want a fling.
you're a senior. if some relationship does happen. its gunna end real soon anyways so save yourself the heartbreak.
and if not, you get rejected.

[p a r q u e.]

Honestly, I think you shouldn't.
You're not sure if this guy likes you or not.
And let's say you do---but he doesn't.
Only embarassment for yourself dear.

So don't rely on eye contacts & such.
They only end up being crushed later one.

We soompiers are just people who do comprehension on each other's post. Your post on the other hand isn't really detailed enough for us to comprehend much. All you've been talking is about his staring. Since he's outgoing are you sure he doesn't stare at other people casually like that?

[chowfun2010]

try to get closer to him
even if he doesn't make an effort to try
it doesn't hurt for YOU to try.
ESPECIALLY when you're interested
fight for what you want.

i say GO FOR IT! (:
