Search Results: flirting with teacher

In one of my classes, I sit by three of the most outgoing, popular guys, & I'm starting to get confused about my feelings for a guy who sits to the left of me.

The two of us aren't really in the same social groups (I'm pretty well-liked but not as popular as him), but we still talk a lot. One of his friends was telling the class an embarrassing story about the guy to my left, who then wanted to tell it from his POV. Instead of telling the whole class, he turned to me specifically, and when I looked at his friend telling the story, the guy to my left said "No, don't look at/listen to him! Just look at me. Just focus on me." When people asked him why he was just telling me, he said that he only really cared what I thought.

I work really hard in school and people think I'm smart, and when people were joking about me getting a high grade, the guy subtly defended me & told them they shouldn't be laughing just because I did well. Although he doesn't do his work, it seems like he's suddenly started asking the teacher more questions during class.

He also does things like really laugh at all my jokes, yell out funny things when I jokingly tell him to, and joked that he was afraid of me since I was smart (which I didn't think was a good sign haha).

What do you take from this? I know we're at least pretty good friends, but is that all I should think? I've been thinking that I could at most be a friend to him since he is popular (in the sense of stuff like going to parties every weekend, being really well-known in school, etc). Is there any way I should/could test where we stand?

Okay, so this guy at my school and I have this sort of flirtationship going on. He's in at least one of my classes every day of the week. During classes he...

- Somehow we always seem to sit right next to each other. One time he even put his chair in between mine & another guys despite the fact that there wasn’t all that much room & he could have sat on a different side of the table.
- We also bump feet/legs a lot under the table. Neither of us apologize about it (if I hit someone w/my foot I usually do apologize. Everyone I know usually apologizes to me too if they hit my foot).
- We are always either making fun of each other, being sarcastic with on another or bonding over something we both really like. Sometimes he'll even compliment me on things like my scarves (which I make myself) & my sweater/shirt.
- He told me about this place that he volunteers at and after I expressed my interest in it, he told me that if I wanted to, I could tag along with him.

Today in class we were kind of having a flirty banter (to me, I thought I was just joking around with him in a friendly way) and I said something to him and then a mutual friend of ours (a guy) said "Why don't you guys just date already?" He said this in front of my teacher and another student (our classes consist of like 4 people). While I stated that I didn't like him like that, he stated that he was not interested in dating at the time. This is not the first time that an incident like this has happened. A friend of mine (guy) once overheard me and this guy talking about the volunteer thing he invited me to and he told me he would text me when it got closer to the event so I didn’t forget. My guy friend then asked if we were going on a date. We both said no, and somewhat awkwardly moved on from the subject.

Do you think he might like me? Also, do you think there was a reason he didn't just outright say that he wasn't into me? I'm a natural flirt so I never really know when I'm flirting sometimes.
