Search Results: books on crushes

He told me that he wasn't looking for a relationship but I've noticed that he has been near me often in lunch. He sat next to my friend twice but he wouldn't talk to anyone. He also passed by me with a female friend and sat nearby. He was reading a book next to the girl while she was on her phone which I found really weird. He usually hangs out with his group of male friends but lately he hasn't. He only hangout with them when I don't have the same lunch as him. Is it a coincidence?

He knows I like him. I told him three months ago. But, he said that while I was a pretty cool person, he liked being single because it makes things easier.

1.) We playfully argue all the time.

2.) He always playfully acts like I say the stupidest things. I'll say something, and he will just close his eyes and inhale through his nose as if he is stressed. Then, he'll lock eyes with me as he turns to face me and just shake his head. 😂😂

3.) He offered to hold my hand when we went ice skating with friends. As I grabbed for his hand, I interlocked our fingers and he didn't seem uncomfortable.

4.) He purposefully blocked my way when I was trying to get past him in a row of seats. He just stood and looked at me with a stone-face and said, "Go ahead, after you." Obviously I can't make it through, so I playfully push him. He stepped back slightly, I went past him anyway and tried to avoid brushing my butt on his crotch. It would've been awkward!

5.) I did accidentally brush my butt against his crotch later and he didn't jerk back or say anything. He just went with it lol

6.) He tried to take my gavel several times and we would play tug-of-war. We'd kinda do the same with notebooks. He'd put his hand on the book and stare at me with a stone-face (I'd laugh at him) and put his hand on the notebook as soon as I try to slide it out of his lap and onto mine.

7.) At a dance held at a conference, me, him, and another female friend of ours would just hang around the outside the crowd of people grinding on each other. Occasionally, my female friend and I would grind on each other or hip-bump each other. My crush would subtlety notice this and try to walk casually around us. He'd also just look at us and grin, saying "Nice."

8.) During the conference, I'm pretty sure he stared at my butt at least once because there were lots of times when he awkwardly hang behind me a distance when we'd walk places. He never does that. He typically walks alongside me.

What do you think?

Hi, I'd like to know what you'll think (especially the guys). Also, I'll leave out details for privacy.

At the beginning of this year I met this man (a client of mine) online. I'm a language teacher. I worked with him and got along great, I was living in Europe at the time and am still married and he is in America (where I'm originally from). After many complicated days I ended up telling him I was running away from Europe from abusive husband. Long story short, he helped me without me asking, literally saving my life and got me to America. We kept working together and met up in person twice, he was great.

Ever since then, we keep doing this:

- Whatsapp EVERY single day (not romantically tho), it feels as though we'd miss each other if we ever missed a day.. that's my feeling though. If I don't write first, he writes first
- Since he helped me I told him I would never charge him again, he still insists, but I think he's given up, we talk on the phone about 4 times/wk for around 1.5 hrs each time (not romantically, teaching, but we laugh tons)
- He is very generous, always offering help, checking in on me - we share lots in common (food, politics, books, humor, etc)
- He laughs everytime I do, even before telling him whatever I'm thinking about (I'm very giggly)
- we read each others' book recommendations and talk for hours about them.

About a month ago he was very nervous and told me some very personal things (he really doesn't open much about his private life). He has a girlfriend, hardly ever mentions her (has about 3 times, 2 out of those 3 were not good things and he kept telling me "I hope you'll still talk to me after I tell you this/I'm sure you'll want to forget about me..", he says he wants to stop his relationship but has failed, not sure why he even told me, but is making me wonder. We never flirt, I'm resisting, not sure if he's resisting as well. I'm sure his girlfriend doesn't know about me.
My family and I are forever grateful for what he did for me...
