About Lulu Expertise I can answer any questions having to do with dating, relationships, or wanting to know if someone likes you. If you want to know what is going through someone's mind, or why they are acting a certain way, I'm your gal! I'm not particularly good in the field of homosexuality, however.
Experience I have a gift of intuition and am great at giving advice. My friends all come to me when they have problems, and I truly care about each and every person's issues.
Education/Credentials I have taken psychology courses in the past, and have also gained much experience from high school.
Question There was this guy that I've liked since about January. He's never come out totally and said that he's liked me, he kind of made it clear, but at the same time I want a second opinion. I've never asked him out but I had a friend who went behind my back and did it. When my friend asked him, he said that he didn't know me and only talked to me once (which is why I did not want my friend to ask him). But after that day, he started talking to me himself whereas before he would just either stare or smile at me. There was one time before that too where he had asked about me. He was mainly the one who initated conversations with me, I don't think I ever have. They were always short because I think the awkwardness of us liking each other (or maybe it was just me) just made it too hard. But despite the awkwardness, we always just clicked which made me sure that he was the right one for me.
And me, I'm the kind of girl who doesn't rush things, but with him being a teenage boy I could tell he eagerly wanted something to happen. We never fully got past that awkward phase. And I have a lot of guy friends, so whenever I was around them and I was happy, laughing, and not really being shy at all, I could tell it made him a little angry/jealous. We actually had a mutual friend (who was closer to me than him), but because I always used to flirt with him, my crush actually started rolling his eyes at him and ignored him when he used to talk to him.
Around that time was when he got really fed up with me, and I believe he started seeing another girl. This girl actually used to sit behind me during lunch and whenever my crush would sit at her table all his attention would be on my table. Like my friends would tell him he was staring at me or he'd be listening in on my conversations.
And I admit, the fact that he started seeing her made me jealous so I talked to him and asked him if she was his girlfriend. He said yes and I asked if we could at least be friends, and said, "Yeah, you're cool, I like you" but I don't know if that was a friendly 'I-like-you' or not. So a couple days later, I snagged his number off of a friend and had texted him. I texted him and basically he played stupid acting like he didn't know me and then he tried to say I had the wrong number. And I think what happened then was his girlfriend was around or something...or else it doesn't make much sense. Because the whole reason why my friend even had his number in the first place was because my crush wanted to text him about ME.
A few days later because of that, I had a friend ask him what was going on between us because he's saying one thing and doing another. And basically he had asked her why I sent her there and when she said that I had a question to ask, she said that he bugged out and kept on saying to her that he had a girlfriend. And basically she called his girlfriend ugly and he didn't even bother to defend her or anything. I've never even seen him and his girlfriend hug, be affectionate, or anything. And right after my friend basically cursed him out, the next day another friend of mine said that he saw my crush staring at me for like 5 minutes and then he stared at my butt!
About a day after that (which was the last day of school), I was in his classroom hanging out with a friend and he sat right next to me. And he kept on trying to joke around with me and my friend and was staring at me, and I wasn't paying him any mind because I was hurt. And when my friend and I left his classroom, he came down by classroom and tried to look in there for me. And after that, he went into my friend's class and said hi to him, and he NEVER says hi to him.
So basically I'm confused. Do you have any idea behind his strange behavior? And if he still likes me/ever liked me at all?
Answer Dear Angela,
There are 2 possible answers to your question. 1.) he's liked you from the start, or 2.) u played hard to get which made him either like you or like you more. You should've talked 2 him on the last day of school because now you will spend the summer wondering. See how he acts next year and show some level of interest. I think his 'girlfriend' was just to make you jealous.
