i'm confused about a boy..., do i really like him? Options

[[vanesSa]]

well, there's this guy in my class. i just started actually talking to him a few days ago... i never really had the courage to go up to him and talk, because i'm really shy and end up saying things i don't really mean. by that i mean, i totally freeze and become mean. whenever i like a guy, i ignore him, i can't help it.

anyway, i started talking to him, and i can't help but notice that he's so sweet and funny. and well, just charming. we met eyes during class today, and i couldn't help but feel those butterflies. i don't know him so much, but i want to. if i do get to know him, i'll see if this is just a crush or maybe something else.

the thing is, he's confusing in. he seems to be eyeing this other girl, and well, they seem to have a connection. or maybe i'm just imagining.

i know, i sound like a ditzy freshmen with another meaningless crush. but i have to admit, i'm not sure what this is... do i like him... or maybe it is just a crush.

anyway, the question is, how can i get his attention? i want to be myself, but i want him to see me.

I'd say you're crushing on this guy, almost no doubt, and because of that, it seems like he's eyeing everyone else.

Have you ever seen a whole bunch of something when you didn't need it, and then the next day, you need whatever it was you were looking for, and can't find it anywhere?

It's definitely that kind of thing.

m...if you are really crushing on him...you won't have ne doubts  ---

That isn't exactly true, because sometimes you don't know. Though, the way you describe him definitely shows that you have a crush on him, whether big or small.

The talking problem, though, is a little harder to address, in that, that isn't something some stranger online can help you with. I can tell you though, that all you need to do is talk to him. Don't really show that you like him, just be his friend, as if it were any other of your guy friends. If you do this, it will be much easier to know if you like him or not, and then you can go from there.
