I’m 18, guy is 20. Been in the same course for a month now, feeling like he’s starting to look at me in a different way.
Here are some things I have noticed at least this week that are different to before:
Every time he makes a joke or says anything he looks at me immediately after
Is patient and understanding with me, even when I get really frustrated with things (he used to treat me the way he treats the other guy in our class, saying “come on, get with it” or something like that)
Smiles a lot at me, and laughs at all my jokes even when they’re not funny
Knows I have mental health issues but is always kind and funny to me
Was the only person to compliment my presentation today, and I was the only one to compliment his
Couple weeks ago he said he wasn’t looking to date anyone but on Monday we did a project of needs and wants based on life planning and budgeting and when the guy next to me couldn’t think of wants, he (the guy I like) said “I wrote down, a girl” (might not be relevant but his attitude on that has changed)
As mentioned before, he used to treat me and our friend the same but I definitely get treated differently now. And it frequently feels to me like our friend is the third wheel, even though the guy and I aren’t dating (yet!). We take the p*** out of our friend regularly because he’s an idiot but we love him. But the guy never teases me like that anymore. Our friend does, but he doesn’t.
I can give more details if needed, I just didn’t want to make this post too long
