I have a feeling this guy that I like, likes me. I've seen him stare from afar on many different occasions, then one time I've seen his "acting out" behavior when he was around me, like trying to draw attention to himself. [this is at church, not school, he's in his early 20's]. And I've also seen him at one time while he was talking to some one else, dart his eyes over at me twice during convo. And although our convos have been very much small talk, he last week he like repeated what I kinda said to him the week before (I complimented him by saying "Looking Sharp! ") and when he saw me he was like "Hey. Looking-Tall! ".
What confused me just yesterday was his actions during conversation. I read that when a guy likes you, he would be smiling during conversation. Well when I approached him yesterday, he wasn't really smiling either, I saw maybe like a little smile like twice, but nothing to grand, although last time we talked I did get a huge smile. And we were sorta alone so got to talk a bit more. But yesterday was such a dud and sorta. I don't know different.
Side Note: Before I approached him yesterday, I was talking with my sister and my guy friend whom I always greet with an awesome hug, and while we were talking, I was facing towards my crushes direction, and I could see my crush look directly at me for like 3 seconds before he looked away.
Are guys usually super enthusiastic when speaking with their crush? I know that when I was talking to my guy friend that I have no feelings for I was smiling and enthusiastic, but when I talk to my crush it's the opposite. I mean I'm happy inside but I don't show it because I'm also nervous and don't wanna say anything stupid.
Do some guys act like this as well? The last few times we talked, I saw more enthusiasm than yesterdays conversation. Could me talking to my friend have had something to do with it?
Wow. A bunch of questions in your question. Easy answer is yes, we (girls too, as you obviously know) talk/act weird around people we like. It is nerves, it is adrenaline, it is other hormones too. The best advice? Relax. Be as friendly as the moment dictates. If you have something great to talk about, talk about it with enthusiasm. If you have something serious to discuss, use decorum appropriate for the moment. Yes, smiles are the easiest way to a person's heart. Smile because you want to, not because you think you "should" or feel you "have to". Regarding your big hug of your friend. He definitely saw that and didn't know the guy from Adam and figured the guy had your heart. Best advice here is to just tell him you DO like him and want to see him/go out with him (or whatever the lingo is today). Good luck. and RELAX. The world has made such a big deal out of relationships that we have become overly bombarded with how you should feel, look, act, smell and see. Just let it happen and be true to your feelings.
