My crush called me nerd?

[Anonymous]

He's even more nerdier than me LOL. Like we're both pretty nerdy and if you knew where we met thwn you would agree too. But me calls me nerd a lot. I asked him a question about a cat cause he has one and I figured he would know what it means but he just said "it means you're a giant nerd"

[Anonymous]

He was teasing you/being playful. I wouldn't think too much of it.

[ThePetSquirrel]

"Nerd" is a compliment. :)

[Asker]

LOL but when I call him nerd back he says "NAHHH" or "I don't know what you're talking about"

[ThePetSquirrel]

He's playfully teasing you.

[Asker]

Oh thanks! I hope you're right lol
I don't know what goes on in his mind cause he's always so sarcastic

[ThePetSquirrel]

If he's like any other guy I've ever met, these are clear signs that he likes you.

[Asker]

Hm I'm not sure cause he pretty much never texts me first
Like the only time he initiated was the first time we met. He texted me like an hour after we parted ways but only to ask a question about the event me met at then he teased me about my name haha. After that I was the only one who texted first :I

[ThePetSquirrel]

He's likely doing this so you can chase him and desire him more, and it sounds like it's working.

[ThePetSquirrel]

That, or he's simply shy, and/or doesn't know you like him.

[Asker]

I don't know he seems like the type of guy to be indifferent about a lot of things
He's prolly just too busy being a giant nerd LOL
He asked me to judge his resume once and he self taught himself like 11 programming languages and made like 7 different programs
NERD ALERT

[Asker]

I think he knows I like him
When we saw eachother in person I stole his pillow and wouldn't give it back till the event ended haha
Also I suggested to him that we hang out when he's in my neighborhood and he, being the nerd he is, replied with "yeah sounds neat"

[ThePetSquirrel]

Then if he knows you're attracted to him, I'd think he'd tell you if he didn't like you, just so you wouldn't get the wrong idea, at least I'd hope so.

[Asker]

Haha I hope so too
I meannnn please don't judge me but I looked at his FB page and since he doesn't post much it was easy to scroll down to 3 years ago. There was a girl who asked him to date her on his FB page and he rejected her with a "No" but then made a joke about how his mom monitors his page so it would be awkward looool. Omg I feel like I'm such a creep now for looking at his page XD

[ThePetSquirrel]

That's not weird, anyone who has social media has looked through someone's page they knew or wanted to know (i. e. attracted to).

[Asker]

Haaaa thanks so much for helping me! C:
And I guess I shouldn't be complaining about always texting first cause he always answers
I just get really insecure ya knowww?

[ThePetSquirrel]

No problem. It's usually us guys who have to text first, so maybe he's just feeling good that you care enough to take action firstly.

[Asker]

Or orrrr he just isn't that into me and is really nice LOL

[ThePetSquirrel]

Oh stop being so pessimistic. If what you've told me is true, he obviously fancies you.

[Asker]

Yeah it's all 100% true lol
But I usually don't get the guys I'm interested in And I don't wanna get my hopes up to be disappointed in the end :c
And the reason I'm so insecure it cause he's like a level better than me in terms of programming skills, height, fitness (cause I'm like short and a little chubby lol), uni (he's heading to Duke soon while I'm just going to here at NYU) so yeahhh I guess you can say he's out of my league

[ThePetSquirrel]

He may not see you out of his league.

[Asker]

Well sorry about dumping my insecurities on you haha
I really hope you're right about him possibly being into me
THANKS PETSQUIRREL C:

[ThePetSquirrel]

No problem. Good luck.
