The Student Room Group

I'm too old for this!! feel 14 again :(

Ok, so theres a guy at I really like, and have done for a while. I have been told/get the 'vibe 'that he likes me too...
The other day a group of us went out... I of course was horribly pissed so was sitting in the corner drinking water, not angry at all, just wanted to stop myself from throwing up/embarrasing myself... Anyway I overheard him say to someone else that he was pissed off with me for 'blanking' him when he arrived (I thought I'd been quite friendly!) And he later on told somene else that he "was giving up trying" with me any more because I'm "obviously not interested!" I had no idea he was even 'trying' anything in the first place! Later on that same evening he got off with someone else, but has since said that that was a mistake and only happened because a) he was very drunk and b) there was "no one else interested"
I just dont know what to do without being disgustingly obvious, its not as If i can amrch up to him and say, "ooh dont give up trying, i like it" etc etc...
I'm really confused about apparently giving off these negative signals because I had no idea I was doing it! It does my brain in because I'm not naturally loud, whereas most of these people are, they seem to assume that just becasue im not talking all the time there's something wrong - when I'm just happy listening/joining in when I've actually GOT something to say!

*edit* Just read this back and it makes no sense/sounds like the inane ramblings of one of those girls in the kind of book you get free with a teen magazine. My apologies in advance to anyone stupid enough to read this.
Aww, thats actually quite cute, even though its not meant to be!

There are a number of ways to get around this; getting your mates to seriously hint that you like him, which could work either way or you could be really flirty with him, but so you are still being yourself or you could just go up to him and kiss him. He should get the message then..

Do you see him often?

But now you know he's interested, why don't you ask him out? Or make yourself more obvious, at least? No good being mysterious forever and expecting him to make a move on you - men don't like the prospect of rejection either. Tell him you like him!

Cheers, could've put that at the beginning though. :rolleyes:

Doing all the running?

TELL HIM. Then, if he declines, yes you have done all the running. Far as I'm concerned, you've done a bit of fast walking with maybe a few seconds' jogging too - you haven't done any running. :p: Don't forget, he thought he was being obvious too. But obviously not. Just go and ask him, he might not know you like him, and you know he likes you.
