I have a hallway crush on this one guy and I think he might like me back; we've never talked to each other though so it's very hard to tell. I've caught him stealing glances at me more often than I'd consider just a coincidence and I've spotted him fixing up his hair as well when I'm nearby.
I'm too shy to start a conversation with him myself; how would I show him that I'm interested in him in a way that won't be too embarrassing for me if I'm just overthinking things?
- hihi !! if you want to avoid confrontation altogether, i suggest exerting body language to show that you're interested such as eye contract and smiling. however it sounds like he's been putting in the work too !! haha. is it possible for you to slip in a note in his locker?? do you have any mutual friends you can confide in?? initiate small talk if you both share a class??
ultimately, i think conversing is the best route to go because it seems like there ARE feelings present—platonic or not. start with a simple compliment. this may be a big step but plsplspls don't be afraid of rejection !! you are being the bravest person you can possibly be and that is admirable on its own.
hell, you may make a friend out of it.
good luck !! <3
