Okay this might be long but bare with me <3
I've liked this guy for around 7 months now, and i still do, and i'm pretty sure that he has noticed me from the beginning and probably have figured that i like him because he has seen me staring at him and, sometimes, if i have the courage, i would smile at him and he would smile back.
I'm shy, so i only leave subtle hints, i don't go up to him and flirt with him directly and also it would be weird since we dont talk to each other [we aren't really friends- but we do have few mutual friends in common. if that makes sense.] I also think he is shy too which is why it's so hard to find out if he likes me back or not.
But recently, ive come to notice that he stares at me aswell, like last week he kept staring at me during lunch times, for example he would direct his body so that he is facing towards me [i know this because sometimes i would purposely go behind my friend (so that he wont be able to see me), and then i see him switching places with his friends or something- subtly- so that he could spot me out.] Which makes me think maybe he is doing this because he might be interested? He also stares [not creepy but very subtle] at me and sometimes i would stare back at him and we would keep eye contact for a brief few seconds before one of us would break it.
Yesterday, he was doing the same thing, and there was this one moment where i caught his glance from a distance, and we kept the eye contact and held it there for what seemed like a long 5 seconds and the way he looks at me is like really 'intense' like a deep look but not scary looking its hard to explain. it was a comfortable sort of look, as if he was thinking what do?- except he wasnt smiling and me either.. it probably was because i didnt know how to react and i felt abit intimidated by it so instead of smiling to hint that i like him etc i turned around and broke the eye contact. i felt like i shouldnt have done that though because we dont have any classes together [nope. nothing.] and on top of that we are both quiet shy, but i think he is abit bolder than i am, and so with that in mind, my chances of talking to him is like 1 to 0
But then again, there are other times, like today, where he acts like he doesn't really notice me and even if he does and he doesn't really look at me or try to spot me out, just talking to his friends.. and i get really confused about that because it makes me question does he really like me or not? why is he ignoring me and giving me these confusing signs. And afterschool i was standing there with my friends and i turned around and there he was just slowly walking pass me and then he stopped and turned around to walk back, passing me again [i think he was waiting for a friend or something] and as he turned around we both looked at each other but BOTH our facial expressions were one of 'you are a total stranger to me' kind of look- that kind of straight-faced look that you give to strangers when you just happen to walk by them and glance at them- but really inside i was really happy to see him and i was about to say "hey" or smile at him but because he gave me that 'stranger' look, i felt like if i said "hey" now, would he be like "uh..hey..*wth*?" and it made me think that does he like me or not because these signs i get from him are really confusing.. because.. yes sometimes i do sense [and hope] that he may be interested but then other times i don't.
And the only reason WHY I kept a straight face, when he walked passed, was because i didn't know how to react, like when i see him its like everything just stopped and my brain and body just freezes like i don't know what to do, all i know is that "omg its him" but of course from the outside i act like everythings normal as if he is just another person but really its not like that at all and just i wished he'd knew that and it sucks because i cant show it! since im too shy. and that was a perfect chance of me talking to him and i ruined it!
im not saying we havnt talked before.. because one time i got the courage to go up and talk to him and when we talked it was kind of awkward! and like when he spoke to me he doesn't stare in my eyes like he looks straight ahead even though there is no one there and somtimes on the ground..
Is there any reason why he does that? like did he do that because he doesnt want to talk to me and was maybe thinking 'what the hell.. why is this random chick talking to me..'?!
so my point is:
does he like me??
if he does, why is he giving me mixed signals like today he would stare at me and try to spot me from the crowd and other days he totally ignores me like when we walk pass each other in the hall way he would not look at me. Then again.. to be fair.. other times i would not look at him aswell even though i know he is looking at me as we walk pass
