Ok, this might sound really lame to most of the people reading this and for that I apologize. I am a senior in high school and I had a little crush on this boy last year. We became friends and he was super nice but I don’t think he really was looking to date me or anything so I just gave up on him. I figured I’d move on and find someone else. I didn’t talk to him over the summer at all, and I didn’t mind. But on the first day of school he was walking behind me and kinda kicked my leg to try to trip me jokingly. I smiled because it was cute and jokingly punched him back. We make faces at each other or give a little shove to one another every time we see each other in the hall now. The next week or so I had a meeting I had to go to in guidance where he was studying with his friends. I went and sat down at an empty table and started doing my work. He soon came over and left his friends to sit and talk to me. He asked about my soccer game the next day and I, not being serious, asked him to come. We are not very good so he obviously refused but I kept asking to maybe guilt him into it. The next day he stopped me in the hall and asked about the game once again. I asked him if he was coming because he said he would come the day before (even though he didn’t) and he said no and to stop twisting his words. He said he would only go if he found a friend to come with. But when the game started that afternoon, there he was in the crowd by himself watching the game.
I still like this boy but I don’t want to get my hopes up if he doesn’t like me back.
What do you think I should do?
It sounds like he felt pushed by you, and so he backed off. My advice is to smile at him and joke with him, but don’t push him. Instead, see if he comes to you and invites you to do things. If he does, then you’ll know he likes you. If he doesn’t, then he’s not interested. 😉
