I like you... yes I do... but do you?

I'm confused. I've made a thread before 'I can't talk to him' - this is about this lad in yr14 in my Chemistry class, lets call him 'TOM' and I couldn't get myself to talk to him... BUT the next day, I was there in the corridor talking to him. wooo. Yeah i was so happy. That was 2 weeks ago... and later on I decided he probably doesn't fancy me.

Today, we had a chemistry practical, everyone had to go into pairs, but I stuck with my two good friends and we worked in threes. I set up the equipments and went to get more. TOM who was working by himself stopped me and asked if I wanted to work with him, I told him I was working with my two friends but then said 'Do you want me to work with you?' he replied I don't mind. I didn't work with him and carried on with the COOL experiment with my other two friends.

The teacher told us off for working in threes, I went back to TOM and told him I'll work with him, he smiled and after a while I started talking to him; the more i talked to him the more I liked him. I noticed he kept copying me like crossing his arms when I was and when i was smiling at something, he smiled, and then when I put my hands in my hair, he did it to his. It looked funny. And at the end of the lesson, I deliberately took ages by putting my paper into my file. I wanted to wait for him to get out the classroom so i could catch up and talk to him... BUT no. He took ages putting stuffs in his bag, and so i went out.

ARgh I want to let him know I like him but i don't know how to show it. I'm no way making myself look like a fool by saying 'I like you'. I don't even know he feels the same way. It's stupid. and I can't help liking TOM.

Any advices? :biggrin:

If you want to go straight into the deep end then tell hi you like him.

If you want to carry on as you are, but want to slowly increase your relationship, then keep doing these subtle things like talking to him and being his partner etc. Then start talking a bit further and try to get to know him personally. Maybe ask for his number?

Im so glad im not 14 anymore, the awkwardness was unbearable. Just see if you can spend more time with him in lesson, get to know him etc. Its probably best not to scare him off quite yet, or as Matt says, get your mates to gauge how he feels.

You could spend the rest of your life wondering or you could ask him

I think she meant year 14, as in first year of university or some other system. Your ability to read and understand prose fails you.

i think the fact that you only went with him because ur teacher told you to go in 2's has probably made him think that you would rather go with ur friends and not with him. Next time show an interest in him and he may act differently

Thats a good advice thanks.Yup, I've spoken to him loads, he laughs loads! But I find it so cute and sometimes I get shy and stop the conversation. it's quite funny when were talking loads and then awkward silence comes on... and then suddenly a loud voice happens to come out of my mouth saying ' Do you like rabbits?' he bursted out laughing... :redface:

I'll try and get talking to him tommorrow again... Would it be stupid if i said ' Oh I've enjoyed doing the experiment with you yesterday :smile:

...etc'

Any more advices :biggrin:

How would I get my friends to find out? I'm no way letting them ask... it's so immature.

I don't think he goes on thestudentroom. :p:

Well I hope not, it'll be awkward him finding out.

Just talking to him and asking if he wanted to meet up and do something would be the easiest way to gauge if he was interested or not.

How come he was working on his own? Was a friend of his away, or does he always work by himself? If that's the case, next time, ask him if he wants to work together and you can talk again and just build on it. The more time you spend together, the more you'll be able to tell if he reciprocates the feelings you have and you'll gain confidence to act on it if you feel he does.

Well this is the first chemistry experiment we did this year so he just started working on my own until I came along. Were still working together for the chemistry experiment and it doesn't work that was the downside... Hopefully I'll be able to talk him him more! he's so nice.

I like you... yes I do... but do you?
