I had the same break time as him later, and I asked him why he wouldn't go out with me, and he said because he's already trying to hit up this other girl and because I'm on school leave for 3/4 of the year.
Now I normally wouldn't be so wound up about this - I've been rejected a lot, so I'm used to hearing stuff like that. But what's getting to me is just how cool he is about it. After I asked that I sat next to him and just chatted with him the entire break, in fact we lost track of time and ended up being slightly late back.
It just kinda sucks knowing I can't have him, and yet those small anxious butterflies keep coming back sometimes when I think about him. I wasn't head over heels for him, but I sure am attracted to him still. And I'm a pro at keeping things neutral and cool, but inside I just... he's got too many amazing qualities for me to forget him as easily as I've forgotten others.
Give it time. If its meant to happen, it will.
You've shown your interest, and if it doesn't work out with this other chick, you've already planted the seed of possibility in his mind.
Obviously you two get along great, so if its meant to be, give it time. You know that they say, "Easy come, easy go." Be the prize he has to work for.
You're worth it, after all!
