I met this guy about a month ago at a place I was helping out at. He approached me and asks about what I studied. I'm fairly reserved and I didn't like him that way for a while (I just thought he was kind of cute), so I would give short answers. A week or so later, he asked how to pronounce my name then apologized for pronouncing it wrong the whole time in the past. I didn't notice and of course, I barely responded to that. Cut to a couple weeks after that, a couple people were helping out. I came in late and went up to a lady. Apparently, I was the topic of conversation because she said "I can finally put a face to the name." There were only 4 people in the room- one of them was the crush. He was talking to someone, but then sort of stopped the conversation to ask how I was doing (he didn't interrupt it, it kind of died down for a second, then he used that opportunity) because he "didn't want to forget" or something.
A week later, we get talk one on one. He's actually easy to talk to face to face. I also noticed that he'd wait and listen for my answers and give more than one-worded answers. He asked if I was old enough to drink (people mistake me for being younger than my age often) because they wanted to go out with those that helped him.
Since I met him, I think it took me 3-4 weeks to actually LIKE him (the 1st 2-3 was denial). I'm also really dense, so I can't tell if you like me unless you tell me. Even if you tell me that he may like me (and other advice blogs have), I always end up second guessing it. I'll overanalyze the slightest dumb thing I said, or I'll think he was just being nice. Yet on the flip side, I've been told I'm hard to read and some of my friends thought I didn't like them. I thought about texting him first in case he has the impression I don't like him, but I start overthinking. I still get nervous because I think, "what if he didn't text me because he doesn't like me" or "what if he thinks I don't like him and won't text me?"
