Search Results: getting a guy to open up

Before we start I wanna say thanks to you guys who answered the last question! 😊

If you haven't read my last question, I'd do that before diving into this one!

So my crush let me tell you about him, he's a sophomore he's super sweet to me and so funny. We have a ton in common and I've known him since like August maybe? We started talking because I found his account on ig and followed because he was at my high school. I started to comment stuff on his story that I found relatable, we like never really talked back then. (At this time I was just getting out of a 1+ year relationship and I also want talking to him in person yet) I was leaving a class and during crossing period he actually opened the door on me and it bumped my head and he was so concerned if I was okay. He is also in the band and that night at our break he asked me if I was okay and kept apologizing. Honestly I never really had a guy treat me like that 😂 but it was a new school so I didn't really think anything because people are more mature ig. But we started talking more and more and we started to become good friends (and still are) we meet during 6th-7th crossing period and asked how each others day is n just short little conversation, sometimes jokes and slight teases but those are rare. When we are at the game I sit near him and we end up talking a lot and he does funny faces and movements and I like to imitate him as like a tease. When we are at practices too me and him like to talk. I've never liked anyone who was a grade ahead of me so I'm really nervous to try anything. Like I make (what I think is) little hints like touching his shoulder and tugging his hair (not hard lol) and stuff like that. (If you guys read the last question) he kept looking at me at the restaurant and I just gave him a little smile and was talking to him throughout the night (his friends we're also there so I didn't want to talk to him too much)

I have been recently talking to a guy and we are getting along pretty well, he has even asked me to hang out several times and has made an effort to keep the conversation going. I usually am very nice to him but I do pull away sometimes because I'm busy and because I don't wanna seem clingy, especially because we are just casually seeing each other for now. The thing is, we were talking today about how he had gotten an injury at the gym and I responded with an audio joking about how I had had to look up the muscle he had injured up on google because I didn't even know it existed and told him to go get it checked out, and he left me on read. I know I'm probably just overthinking it, but I just don't understand why he would do that, usually, I only leave people on read when I want to send a message, and when that's not the case, I usually don't open the message until I know I am ready and able to respond, even if I got the notification.
