Does this guy like me?

[vitorioso]

So there is this guy at my school who I am friends with (not really close friends, but we do talk quite a bit). I don't really think he is 100% gay but he is obviously curious though, and sometimes other guys tell him to stop acting like a fag or whatever. So this week we are taking week-long exams, in which students need to be in their first class of the day for three hours. In this strange twist of fate my teacher seats me and him right next to each other, meaning that I will have to tolerate him for the 15 hours of testing this week. All has been the same as usual till today, we talking before and after the test and what-not. But overall today and for most of the week I have been feeling like he has kind of been looking at me, as in very much staring. I mean we can be in the middle of the test and I just KNOW that he is staring at me for 10 seconds or so, from the corner of my eye I am sure I can see. Also today after we finished our tests (oddly at the same time, even though we have different test versions) we were playing around with the pencils I brought (I bring A LOT of pencils to tests) , making balancing pencil structures and whatever else. He was very good at it so I took the remaining pencils and tried to make my own, which I successfully did. Afterwards, he glanced at it and started to adjust it, but because of the way he was sitting he basically had to stretch across me to reach it. He was basically ON TOP of me for 20 seconds adjusting the pencils, of which I needed to sit basically at the edge of my seat so if the teacher looked at us it hopefully did not look like he was basically one milimetre away from the privates :eek:.

Overall, I am not really THAT gay to do even something similar to that. Sure, i'm curious but I could never be in that position without it looking like I want to seduce the other person :confused:. Also sometimes we brush arms or legs together (which I think is on accident), but in reality it happens WAY TOO MANY times a day for it to be "accidental".

What do you guys think, is this guy randomly attracted to me or what? I have no idea now :what:.

i think you're overthinking it. if you aren't "that" gay and you think he likes you, you should probably wait until he blatantly tells you he does instead of making assumptions that he does because of a random gesture.

[Smeagol]

Hm, well, do you like him? There is a definite possibility that he likes you...

[leafgreenangel]

I think this just you overthinking things. Sometimes if we over think thingswe kinda manipulate it to what we want to happen.

[BeyondOne]

You could be overthinking things, but he could be testing you as well.. He might want to try and see what/how you react and think. Maybe he does like you, but you'll never know until he tells you or you ask.

There's definitely a possibility, but I think you might be overthinking this. Sure he might like you, but I don't think you should assume at this point. If he's comfortable to lean across you like that, and he does like you, he'll probably just tell you, or drop more obvious hints.

Give it time, his intent will clear up and I liked your "not that gay" - pretty funny on degrees of gayness.

Maybe hint around abt it?

Many of the straight guys I know would not mind being in positions as the one u described because they are really secure in their sexuality (to the point of dry humping each other in public). Many closeted gays, on the other hand, avoid such situations for fear of being revealed. Then again, other guys call him "fag" indicating he has a pretty secure appearance of "straightness" which means that by reaching over you to adjust the pencils, he had less to lose than somebody called gay in a bullying manner, for instance. Not that there is a good way to use gay as an insult, as that is demeaning to all gays.
