help!confused!

ok here goes...
so there's this guy at college who i sort of fancy... he's also in my bus and all of my classes...
now the problem is that he's really shy and quiet and so am i...i catch him looking at me all the time and even in the bus he comes and sits right in front of me whereas till a few weeks back he used to sit a few seats ahead... since the past two days he's been smiling at me but we've never spoken to each other!! ever! sometimes when we walk past each other he looks at me and then looks away and his smile vanishes!
do you think i have freaked him out or somethng?

i don't know why he doesn't talk to me!! i've seen him talking to a few girls...honestly speaking i saw him chatting with a girl a few days back and he seemed to be having a good time and i felt totally crushed !! i've never felt so jealous in the case of my previous crushes or bf's but this girl looks like she's bettr suited for him!i hate feeling this way coz this girl is really nice...

how do i find out if he actually likes me or is just being pleasant?! is it possible to like someone without actually having spoken to them? he's around me quite often bcoz all our classes are common and the bus...
there's no way i'm going to talk to him first...and seeing the way things are going i think it's going to be quite some time before he comes up to me...

help!!

Take the lead and talk to him, suggest hanging out somewhere.

i know i know...but i don't think i'll ever be able to pluck up the courage to do it... somehow he's better than all the guys i've liked before... it's a little intimidating... i know i'm not talking sense...m confused...:frown:
Well if i'm ever in this situation i search for them on myspace/facebook/bebo and get them on msn. Breaks the ice without breaking a sweat :smile:

no offence, but doesn't that seem a little stalker-ish?

About as stalkerish as staring at them all the time and watching them while they talk to other people.

Tell you what you could do if you're happy to be a little weird about it: you could get a slightly battered looking wallet (belonging to a brother or friend etc), slip like 30p in there so it looks realistic, and on the bus tap him on the shoulder and say you just spotted it on the floor, and is it his. I suppose if he takes it, it gives you a pretty good insight into who he is, but either way it gets you both talking. Admittedly that's a bit far to go just to talk to someone, but I like playing games.

Good luck! Just imagine if someone just started talking to you. Would you tell them to go away? Not likely. So dont go in thinking that he might tell you to **** off :smile:

i did it...went and asked him about the timetable...i'm lame. i know.
smiled...replied...that's it he didn't even try to further the conversation...is that supposd to happen? i was expecting a "so would u like to go somewhere?" ???? or some sort of small talk...but nothing!!!
