Here's my story. I like this guy, and have for a really long time (since elementary school). I know that is pathetic but every time I try to like other people I still can't stop thinking about him. So I have pretty much just given into my feelings for him. I can remember in middle school and even elementary school things he would do that were really flirty. I know that was a long time ago and it doesn't matter. And even last semester he did and said a lot of things to me. THis semester we aren't in any of the same classes. Basically, like I have said in tons of other questions, we make eye contact when we pass each other in the hallway. Sometimes he will do things like go out of his way to look at me, or even talk to me some. He talked to me a lot last semester but hardly any this semester. So all this time I was so sure he liked me. I mean, he lept making eye contact ad last semester he would tease me and tons of stuff. So it seemed like he liked me. Last week it seemed like he went out of his way to look at me, and he even talked to me and he was smiling the whole time. Well it has gone downhill from then. I saw him talking and laughing with another girl. And then today he started talking t o my friend like they were best buddies, and he didn't even glance at me, even though I was right there. (although when he walked off and stood with his friends I think I saw him glance at me but I am not sure). Well we have gone through down periods, Where he will do tons of stuff one week then the next few days hardly even look at me, and I get really down and out about it. Then he will do stiff again etc etc. So now is one of those down periods and I am just wondering if I should just give up hope all together. I am really shy and the only thing I can bare to do is to make eye contact with him. I can't even get up the nerve to talk to him, even though I always used to.There are only 10 days left of school so I know nothing will happen this year, but I can try again next year. I am just scared he won't like me next year if he even did at all. So is all this just a hopeless cause, should I give up trying for good? And if not, some tips for next year on how to kind of flirt with him? And not anything huge like ask him to a movie, I am not ready for big stuff like that yet. Thanks.
Sounds to me like your not really trying at all to get the guy you want. You can't just make eye contact, you have to tell him and make a move. I know it may be nerve racking but its totally worth doing and I'm sure you won't regret it, so go for it or yes you should really just give up!
