What does it mean when my crush sees me in the hall and says, “what up cuz?”?

He touched on my shoulder a little bit then took my hand and did some weird gesture with his hand in mine. What does this mean?

It’s just saying “what’s up”. Tacking on the “cuz” or “cuh” usually means he doesn’t hang around the best crowd outside of school, bc that slang comes from the streets, or gangs.

So I definitely think that’s friend zone behavior unfortunately :( Don’t know what the shoulder press was about tho

Yeaaah, the shoulder press (at least to me) is the equivalent of him giving a girl a hug or doing that hand-dap thing with his friends. Pretty generic, but it doesn’t mean you’re friend zoned. It’d be rude of him to be more handsy, especially unwarranted. Maybe try hinting you’re interested or ask for his social media or something..

I have his social media but he hasn’t initiated anything in like a week. I told him to hmu when he’d be free to go biking and he said “okay :)” but has never hit me back cause it’s been raining

How could I hint that I’m interested in him around school I’m talking just seeing him in the halls and on social media too? I just don’t want to be the one initiating conversation.. not sure if he’s interested either cause we haven’t spoken (on social media) since I last initiated which was 6 days ago

That means he's around dudes who think they're hard and he doesn't know how to talk to women. Find a new crush girl! Trust me!

He was around a guy when he approached me and the other times he approached me alone he just said, “hey what’s up emma” with a smile

[HeyHeyLA]

Sounds like he is just putting on a show when he's around his friends.

You can use this as an excuse to say “I’m not your cousin.” Then grab his head in a hammer lock and give him some noogie, while saying “what up cuz” over and over
