Oh today was eventful.
I know that A likes me. I know this for sure now. Today, EJ showed him (at school) all the texts from me to her saying I like him. He said he didn't believe her, though I was standing right beside her NODDING! Oh, that boy makes me laugh :3
After that, I was walking down the hall and he wouldn't hug me. So I made a heart with my hands, then broke it into two pieces to represent a broken heart. I continued down the hall, and about five seconds later, he came running after me telling me that he loved me. I sighed dramatically and said, "I love you tooooooo." and hugged him with a smile.
Then, because everyone (even him I'm pretty sure) knows that I like him, which I'm perfectly fine with, I got dared to ask him out like I've wanted to. So I did, via a note. I wrote on the front: "To: [Inserthisnamehere]. From: Open it and find out c:" on the inside, it said, "Will you go out with me? Love, [Insertmynamehere]." then it had two boxes: A yes box, and a no box. I wrote check one, then added, "P.S: If yes, return this note to locker #303." because 303 is my locker and he knows that.
At lunch in the gym, he informed me that his answer to my asking him out was on the note and in my locker. I freaked out (on the outside I was all like "Oh cool, let's go check it out" but on the inside I was like, "OMGWAFFLES HE SAID YES<3<3<3<3<3") so I go to my locker and I read the note. He checked BOTH BOXES! And, after I smirked, he came up behind me and asked if I liked his joke. I said yeah and looked straight at him and said, "Did 'ya like mine?" he got all confused and was like, "Wait... So asking me out was a joke?" and I was like, "You took it as one, so sure." then walked away like a boss.
He's hilarious and I love that, but sometimes I just wish he'd give me a straight answer. >.>
I didn't talk to him for the rest of the day after that, just to show him that, even though I love to joke around, I need some seriousness in my life. I passed by him at his locker, and instead of running up to him and hugging him like I usually would, I just glanced at him then continued walking.
That showed him. I noticed him looking at me with an odd look, almost like he was regretting taking it as a joke. I guessed this was because he thought I was mad at him, which I sorta was and still sorta am. I know that he likes me, and I took the opportunity and, instead of answering me seriously, he had to turn it into a joke like everything else.
Then in gym, we were doing this jump rope thing for seven minutes where we had a partner and they counted how many skips we got. I tripped on my too-small-for-me rope, which was too small because my partner was a lot shorter than me and even though he's so small that it's adorable it gave me issues, and ended up landing on my left ankle with it bent at a very painful angle.
I was crying in gym because it hurt so badly, and my gym teacher took a lot at it and told me it looked broken. It was all swollen and bruised and you could see the bone at a weird angle that it shouldn't be at. When I left the gym, limping intensely, you could tell that I had been crying. I passed A and he looked at me all sympathetically and asked what happened in a tone of genuine concern. Still mad at him and in horrible pain, I ignored him and kept wobbling down the hall.
I figure he's playing hard to get, and I'm making myself too easy to get. Guys like him like a challenge, and they only want to be with a girl who'll make him work for it. So I've decided that two can play at that game. I didn't text him today, and after lunch, I didn't even talk to him, much less run to his locker and ask for a hug.
Any tips on how to play hard to get without making him think I don't like him? Some girls always try that and they play too hard to get and make the guy think that they don't like him. I don't want to give him the silent treatment, but at the same time, I don't want to talk to him so much that it makes it seem like I need to talk to him. I'm thinking that tomorrow I'm going to talk to him in a friendly way, maybe add on ONE SLIGHTLY flirty comment just to let him know that I'm still interested, but not hug him or make hearts to him or tell him I love him at all.
I have sectionals at lunch (that's where certain sections of our band class, like all clarinets or all flutes - which I play :3 - get together to practice) which is just perfect because I won't be able to see him, so I'll be able to play hard to get, but have a reason at the same time.
Anyways, how can I be a challenge to get, but still let him know that I'm interested?
