Does he like me? Or do they think I like him?

    So there’s this boy in my math class, and we used to sit next to each other all the time, though we wouldn’t talk much. But because of that, now everybody in our class teases the two of us about each other every once in a while. Maybe writing our names in a heart on the whiteboard, or going “oh, do you want to switch seats so you two can sit together?” But it’s not serious teasing; I have a lot of friends in that class but they never talk to me about him outside of the occasional joking during math class.

    Though the guy’s friend teases us the most. But the thing is, sometimes I can’t tell if he is teasing me or teasing him. He’ll say things to me like “Don’t get lost in [boy’s name]’s eyes!” and “Psst, y’know he’s over there.” I usually respond with simple sarcastic remarks such as “haha, good one.”
    I know that some guys tease their friends about their crushes. But I am sort of friends with him too, so is it possible that he thinks I’m the one that likes the guy in math class, and not him liking me? Or do guys tease their friends’ crushes too?

    Also, ever since our class really started teasing us, he’s stopped sitting next to me. So does this mean he doesn’t like me?

    Just wondering. Maybe I’m just reading too much into this. Because ever since this started, I’ve been trying to figure out if he likes me or not, but in the process I feel as if I’m starting to like him too. But if he actually doesn’t like me, then it’ll be easier for me to stop liking him.

    Sorry, it’s a little confusing. Thank you!

    When you’ve got most of your class teasing you, the best way to diffuse the attention is to not react and not to play into the taunts. The more you engage, the more fodder for teasing there is, so don’t react in any way to the teasing. Clearly the kids in your class think that you like him or he likes you or you both like each other — but that’s not really anything you can do something about and don’t worry about it.

    He’s moved away from you since the teasing because he doesn’t like the attention and the pressure he feels from the group. So let the teasing die down — and it eventually will when the class sees that they’re not getting any kind of reaction from either one of you, and then you can see whether he tries to talk to you, smile at you or want to do things outside of class with you.

    I hope that helps! See you @AskAprilcom on Twitter. 😀
