Search Results: scared of getting close

There is this guy that I like. We've never had a conversation but we had a few classes together and i saw him looking at me a couple of times. Im kind of pretty and so he could have just stared just because I don't know. He never talked to me even when i was standing next to him talking to some of his friends next to him. There were two times in class where his friend said something funny and i turned to look at his friend and ended up making eye contact with him and we looked at each other and smiled/laughed until i would shy away and break eye contact. For some time (couple days) i was sure he liked me i don't know if i was making things up in my head or something but i just got the feeling. The more i thought about it the more i doubted my judgement and ended up deciding that he didn't like me. I never talked to him because i was scared that he wouldn't answer or something. He's quiet but confident. He doesn't really talk to many people and does not participate in class but not because he's insecure or shy. He's also kind of popular. The guy's not duchy, he's pretty nice and cute. He never sent a request to follow me on insta so I took it that he wasn't interested. I still don't think he likes me but im still low-key hopeful. I really like him. Im not getting into why i like him but just know its not purely physical attraction, lets just say he intrigues me. Anyway i am 16 an the is too. Oh by the way, his friend liked me (and about 3 other girls lol) and i didn't like him back so i kindly told him that i wasn't interested. I thought he didn't show interest because of bro code but I don't think they're super close friends, i think they're more class friends cus they don't hang out after school or at lunch. Anywayyyy, am i correct? does he not like me?
