Guys and girls: Does he like me or not?

I have a crush on this guy I talked to on Facebook all summer (don't worry, he goes to my school in real life; I know him personally and all that). We still text a lot, but when we see each other in class, we barely say a word to each other.



I tried to start a conversation with him while we were waiting around for the lunch bell on Wednesday. We talked for a little while, and he was nice and payed attention and everything, but the strange thing was he wouldn't keep eye contact. I was standing on his left, and other than a few glances, he just kind of stared awkwardly at the wall in front of him.



Then last night, we both went to a mutual friend's birthday dinner. We talked a little bit (his friend talked to me more than he did), but not a whole lot was said, if you get what I mean. (I will concede here that I'm pretty quiet at parties.) Then, after I left, I texted him and asked him to let me know if I owed money on my bill, because I left before the check came and had to leave a twenty with the guy sitting across from me. He texted me back and said, ';Oh, no, it's okay, your bill only came out to about fifty dollars.'; Of course, being the trusting soul that I am, I freaked, and he kept up the illusion (just saying, ';it's okay, it's okay, we had enough, we got it';) until I finally called him and he admitted that he was just kidding.



I can't figure it out; either he's being shy when we're in person, and he likes me, or he has somehow figured out that I like him, and he's trying to discourage it when we're in person. But if that's how it is, why is he still texting me? A little insight would be appreciated here... thanks.Guys and girls: Does he like me or not?
Wow, amanda, that's awfully pessimistic of you.



But Tracy, it sounds to me like he's just shy in person and trying to flirt with you from a safe distance (texting) by joking around. Some guys are great with IM's and texts but don't have the confidence to joke around in person. Like me. This sounds exactly like something I would have done... the joking comes across all wrong because he doesn't know how to be relaxed and funny with you in person. Because he's nervous. Because he likes you.



Just my 2 cents... good luck!Guys and girls: Does he like me or not?
Just move on. Seems like an ***.
Well he's a shy one. LOL. He really is. I been through that, guys would talk to you but they're looking somewhere else. That's because either he's not really confident enough to actually look at you and not get nervous. Which basically means he's shy. %26amp; if conversations does go better online thats because he's not in a direct face to face type of convo.



%26amp; Well it depends if he leads you on. Obviously not in person, but online. Like if he's too sweet and nice to you than maybe theres a chance but he should really man up and talk to you in person. You should try telling him how you feel so he doesn't feel awkward if he does actually like you but thinks you dont like him.
