If a guy acts like your dad...

[Anonymous]

There is this guy that I've known for about 6 weeks now and he is two years older than me. He sits by me in one of my classes and he always asks to check over my work before I turn it in, and sometimes takes it from me and goes and turns it in for me. He also comments whenever he sees me doing anything wrong with my work. When we talk about non-school stuff he kinda talks to me like I'm a little kid. What does this mean? He knows how old I am, I mean we're in the same class. Why does he treat me like this and what does he think? By the way I think he's really hot.

Actually you may be wrong.

You are dealing with a shy guy but one that would be a solid person to have a relationship with. He is shy and the only way he can show you that he likes/cares about you is by helping you out.

If I'm a guy in a class I'm not gonna waste my time helping a girl I don't like with her homework. I have better things to do. But him constantly taking your work to look it over means that he is worried about you and wants you to do well in the class. It is just his personality it is the way he shows that he cares about you.

You need to give an example of the non-school stuff conversations.

The non-school stuff is anything from music to our families, etc. But in what way do you think he likes me (a friend, more than a friend)?

i think he sees you as his little sister...

What you need to do is to stop him doing whatever he is doing by standing up for yourself.

[Asker]

How should I do that?

[chettah-two]

I would have said it to him you treating me like I'm you little sister,, but what you can do is when he checks the work, recheck it your self and hand it in.. And also tease him about him being daddy to you...

[Asker]

Good ideas. This guy is really pushy though. I'm a bit nervous around him too because I think he is so hot. What do you think made him start treating me this way?

[chettah-two]

Probably mistook you nervousness for being imature, especially being younger than him...

But no need to dwell on becoz all is well....

But one thing for sure, he cares about you....

Thanks you are really sweet.
