Try getting to class or lunch really early and sitting down before everyone else. If he goes out of his way to sit near you, that’s a good sign! He might be a little too shy to sit next to you. Check to see if he sits nearby instead!
If you don’t like him touching you, don’t be afraid to say so. It’s important to stand up for yourself.
It can be hard to tell if he likes you or just likes your friend. If he talks to the same friend every time, he probably likes them. But if he talks to a different friend every time, he might like you!
For example, things like “I really liked your presentation” or “That jacket looks nice on you” might indicate that he likes you.
You can just say “I like you a lot. Do you like me?” It’s best to tell him you like him too first, otherwise, he might think you’re making fun of him. If he avoids answering or even says no, just play it off as a joke. You can say “Just kidding!” and change the subject.
Don’t be tempted to let him win all the time! Be true to yourself. Changing for another person is never worth it.
Don’t try to make him jealous on purpose–it’s manipulative and could scare him away. Be careful around guys who overreact when you’re with someone else. It’s okay if they’re just hurt or a little jealous, but if they get angry, yell at you or him, or throw a tantrum, it could be a sign of controlling behavior.
Don’t accept anything really lavish, like electronics or money. Just tell him you’d rather get to know him as a person instead.
