Search Results: looking into eyes

So Im in my freshman year of college and I met this guy who i befriended with that we also hungout everyday whether alone or with friends. So, within the three months of fall semester, him and I got really close. Im not one who likes when people invade my space or touch me but I was comfortable with him. We always would talk in groups about how we're both not ready to date and how the timing for dating people is important. Basically during these we were ignoring how each of us felt or possibly felt. I often made the mistake of starting the conversation because that was how i truly felt at the time so i would forget that he could possibly like me and he would just agree.

So we were friends, he would hold my hand as a joke and laugh but eventually it stopped being like a joke and he just held it and he would often brush my hair back behind my ear and always like to be near and subtlety touch me or always felt the need to be in my space. There was a time where we were waiting for our friend since she had a late class in the evening so him and i sat on the bench and talked for a bit and when i looked over to him he was giving me these eyes and leaned in for a kiss and i was stunned but then my friend walked and saw us asking what we were doing.

A month later i saw on his snapchat story that a bee was flying around him and I replied to his story saying, "They love you." and then he proceeded to respond saying that he loved me. This is my first time ever being told I love you so i pretended i didn't see it and talked about something else. I was scared that he was just joking around again. The whole time this situationship was happening I was unsure of how I felt about him since he definitely didn't fit my boyfriend standards since he was quite selfish and immature which is the complete opposite of what I look for in a man. I dont talk to him anymore since we got into an argument, he told me he loved me but left when things got bad, is it possible he liked me that way?

I was chatting with my crush today and I may be reading too much into it, but I feel like he sort of inadvertently hinted that he finds me beautiful.

We were chatting about random stuff and we got onto the subject of makeup (random, I know). I was saying how I take makeup on holiday but I don’t really wear it that often. I then said (as a joke), “I like to think I’m naturally beautiful”

My crush then said, “exactly, exactly” but he avoided eye contact as he said it and he had a smile on his face.

There was a similar situation a month or so ago where he said he doesn’t like talking to other people because he can’t be bothered. I said, “I must be pretty awesome if you’re talking to me then” and he said “yes, absolutely, you passed the test with flying colours” and when he said this, he looked away smiling.

Does his reaction indicate that he thinks I’m beautiful?
