Search Results: with friends first compete

The first guy does these:
- glances at me across the room
- glances at me when i'm not looking
- constantly stretches his feet towards me as I sit opposite him and invades my personal space
- as I was walking to another guy sitting in between us, he was leaning forward to make it obvious for me to see
- smiled at me one time another guy pulled a chair for me
- makes eye contact with me but doesn't look away

The second guy does these:
- pulls a chair for me
- opens the door for me
- apologized to me when we had a meeting and he was talking to his friend
- smiles at me when sees me as he was talking to another guy

P. S. we are all in a group for the project and are they competing in a sense? I am just curious. I have asked this but I just want to get more opinions.

for instance if only one if you is ready to date. what should the other do.

I've liked this guy a long time , we are very attracted but i can't tell if he's interested in dating. he was interested but i was not ready for anyone not just him. and we stayed friends, he sort of casually dated but broke up and always came back to me as a special person. i have never dated hed be the first and only person i liked.

he does not talk to other girls, and if one comes up to him he will look only at me, he shares things with me, stares all the time, smiles real big when he sees me -esp when he does not know im looking, tells me when he's free , gives me gifts he makes, competes for attention over other guys im not even into- even my gay friends, asks for advice... BUT when i ask him if he wants to hang out he gets fidgety and avoids answering.

i can't go on this way. i like him so much and i realize I've missed out on many people just thinking of him. i feel idiotic if he isn't actually interested. its not even im in a rush for action i just want to know IF there's a possibility. i think i will just ask if he's interested in dating. if he says no -i move o. is that too harsh? i just dk if i can be friends and not want him.

i avoided asking him on an actual date bc i thought itd ruin our friendship. but i think im wasting time... like we could date without dating. just hang out and let liking each other be enough. but, why can't we be friends and date. of we like each other, dating should not ruin that. if it does we prob just had lust or crush--right?
