I've had feelings for a boy since about 3rd grade. Now, we are sophomores and very good friends. However, around April 2016 he got a girlfriend. I was very sad because I was about to tell him how I feel and then found out he'd just gotten together with this girl. I cried for a few days. It took me until August to fully get over the pain & sadness.
For some reason, his girlfriend's always giving me dirty looks. At first, I thought I was imagining it, since I don't know her and could've been hating her unreasonably. However, two of my friends confirmed that she was giving me dirty looks, even though I've never said a word to her.
I'm not sure why she looks at me like this, especially since I'm not sure if he likes me like that.
I know he cares about me, because he's extremely protective of me. He's very nice to me, and is very conscious of how sensitive & shy I am. (Ex. He's a social person while I'm not, but tries to include me in conversations.) He'll tease me playfully to make me laugh. If he's making a joke to the class, he glances at me to see if I laugh.
By him being protective I just mean he takes care of me and is a generally sweet guy. He helps me up/is concerned when I fall. (During our award ceremony I fell going up the steps - he helped me up and made sure I was okay before going to sit w/ his girlfriend). When I fainted from anxiety/panic in class early 2016 (before he got a gf), the teachers & nurse said he was panicking, & almost knocked our principal over getting icepacks for me.
When the way he jokes with me feels sweet or flirty, or he compliments me if I get stuff right in class (he brags to me about "how smart" I am), I feel like he's giving me special attention. Like... attention he would only give me if he likes me.
I'm NOT the kind of girl to ruin their relationship, or tell him how I feel until he's single, but I would like to know your "guy opinion" on my situation. Is it even possible he likes me? Why is his girlfriend giving me dirty looks?
