We met in a class a few months ago and became friends. He would greet me with a hug most days before class, and would walk with me out of the building after class. He didn't seem to pay much attention to any of the other girls in our class (though they're all much prettier than I am) except when we were all talking about assignments. When the semester ended we started emailing each other almost every day (we're texting a bit now). He asked me out to lunch last week, but it wasn't a very date-like vibe, though we had fun. I really like him, but I'm not sure if he likes me too. He always calls me "kiddo" even though we're the same age. I got caught in a bad storm while out of town the other day and he called and seemed concerned about me getting home safe. I don't know, sometimes it seems like he might like me but I don't know if he just sees me as a friend or as something more. I'd ask him outright, but I don't want to make things awkward or ruin our friendship if he doesn't feel the same. (Also, I don't know if this makes a difference but he was seeing someone when we met up until a few months ago, right before we started talking outside of class. He's single now.)
i was going to ask right before those last couple of sentences if he were gay, because straight guys don't hug girls and call them "kido", at least not ones their interested in boinking. This guy likes you as a friend, plain and simple. Guys just don't behave this way if they are interested. The fact that you went out for a "day date" and the vibe was friendly says it all. My advice to you is to keep it as a friendship, because if you inquire, you'll really make it awkward.
Ok, first and for most don't over think things. Second, just ask him out for pete sake or shag him. If worst comes to worst you kiss, you shag, you move on with life. Lets face it guys have two things on there mind. Getting laid and getting laid later. So you in college let us review, shag the bloke, if things get awkward you will have at least taken the chance instead of sitting there bitchin' about it. Take the day in to your own hands and do it.
Okay, first of all I'm not bitching about anything. I asked a question to get an outsiders opinion, which I'm pretty sure is the entire point of this site. Second, I'm not the kind of girl who goes up to a guy, a FRIEND for chrissakes, and says "Oh hey, let's f***." Geez. - 2 months ago
The signs seem to point to that he definitely has some sort of interest in you. It sounds like something I would have done for the object of my desire, if you will. I think the 'kiddo' part is his subtle version of a pet name for you. Not too mushy but then its safe just in case he's afraid you may not like him back. Btw.what constitutes a 'date vibe' in your opinion? How did he ask you and what made it feel like the intent wasn't on par with a date?
He was in town doing some student ambassador stuff for the college, and he asked if I wanted to meet up for lunch. We just hung out at the student union building until he had to go back to work. It didn't seem like a "date" - he mentioned having asked another (guy) friend to come along too, but the other guy was busy. - 2 months ago
Answerer
If his behaviour (the hugging, greeting etc.) seems to be done exclusively to you and he does not act that way to other girls then that's a sign in your favor. If he does it with other girls, it could be just 'routine' behaviour and in that regard it would be harder to tell what feelings he has for you. Does he treat you differently from other girls? - 2 months ago
Question Asker
It seems like he does treat me differently. I've never seen him hug any other girl as a greeting, or at all even. He'd also stand next to me and put his head on my shoulder sometimes (and this was before we even started talking outside of class). But I've never noticed him doing anything like that to any other girl (and I tend to be hyper-aware of everything he does when I'm around him). - 2 months ago
That really points to him liking you. Guys don't do those little things over and over unless they're interested and they think something might be in it for them if they keep it up. Maybe he's a shy guy and doesn't want to take the first move, so for both your and his sake, ask him out already and make the vibe yourself.
I can't tell you how sad I was when the dream girl I had been eying for over 2 years confessed her love for me a week before she had to move. - 2 months ago

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
My ideal first date would be to the movies with my date picking the movie. We would sit all the way in the back and maybe cuddle. The date ends by me giving her a good bye tap kiss.
Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
She'll know about my likes and dislikes. She'll know a little about my background, where I am from, and how I got to where I am now. She'll also know what my plans for the future are
