Ok I'm going to quote myself from a previous time I mentioned him to give a little background info:

I met him freshman year (a friend of mine at the time had the hugest crush on him as alot of other girls in the school I knew but he never chose any of them except one who he dated for a year and since hasn't been in a relationship) and he just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. I was/and am attracted to him but I felt like he was some womanizer so I barely paid him any attention but over the years he's consistently made it a point to say hi and compliment me and I've opened up to him more and realized that he's genuine. Still annoying though because I'm never sure if he's giving me some "signs" or if I'm just another girl who's fallen into getting my hopes up. He even joined the business club I'm in (I was the only one until now) and he really wants me to join the school musical and even offered to give rides home after when I told him I'd have to look at my moms schedule. Blehh, and then we have these hot and cold moments where we ignore each other and then we're cool and he always tries to do little things to make me notice him when I try not to. Like thursday I had my earphones in listening to music and reading my book and he literally reaches his arm across my desk invading my personal space to show a mutual acquaintance a funny picture and then pulled it back laughing w/out showing me and then when I still ignore him he starts tapping on my desk while he's talking to her. Just little things like that he will do and I always wonder why especially since he doesn't do that to anyone else. I can't lie though I'm sure I do little things too like walking past him without saying hi sometimes (and half the time when I do he has his headphones in or barely notices) but I'm never out right "in your face" with it. I could write so much more about the weirdness of our relationship but it'd probably be extremely long lol.



Ok fast forward to now, right before break and maybe a little bit before then I noticed that it seemed like I was the only one going to him to say hi and it didn't seem reciprocated. Then after a while I noticed that he'd no longer sit by me and he even walked past me without saying hi (I swear he saw me) so about 3 days ago I just said "eff it" and ignored him completely not even looking in his direction except once and I noticed he didn't seem to happy with me.

BUT, what makes it worse is that since he's now in the business group I'm in, we'll be spending a good chunk of time together in the next two months (3 days out of town this month, and a whole week in another state next month) and now I'm starting to wonder how this will all work out and if I don't do something it may make these trips extra awkward.


Any advice? Did I overreact?

The mind games, smh.

I think you should reciprocate everything he gives you. He ignores you, you ignore him. He's nice to you, you're nice to him.
At your business trip he's going to have to talk to you. If he's the one making things weird then you don't have to take any action now in an effort to fix things. Let him come to you (which he will).
Meanwhile don't get emotionally attached or expect a friendship or anything. If he wanted to be friends he would have been nicer.

Thank you for giving your advice and perspective!

ehh, now that I read my post over I think I played games too :l -sigh-


Probably best I do just ignore him since we have this whole hot-cold thing going. At least we graduate in a little over 2 months and we'll be at colleges in different parts of the state.

Yeah he's not worth your energies, especially at this point in school.

It's time to graduate. Like seriously

Thank you! Still ignoring each other lol but he doesn't stay where I'm at too long and I don't stay where he is too long so it's all good.

You know he actually makes it a point to make sure I "see" him when he walks in the school store we both work at and yet still won't say hi? -__-

He'll either walk towards the register I'm on and then walks to the back room, goes to the mirror right beside my register, or like yesterday walked right behind me to look at the candy we sell and yet he didn't buy anything. And when I turned around to see who was randomly behind me he just said "probably wondering who the heck is that" or whatever but I just went back to my job.

I told my mom about him and she's pegging that he probably does like me but he's immature - to which I should just leave him alone since he needs to mature a bit lol

I think your mom's right, he clearly wants your attention but he's being super immature about it. Don't give him any reaction, it'll drive him nuts and he'll end up doing weirder and weirder things. Enjoy the show

Ok so time for an update (I'll try and keep it short)


Last wednesday we had a field trip and every time I turned my head to talk to my friend he was looking at me and he made sure I looked at him when I walked in to sign-in with our chaperons, he also glanced back at me when he and his friend left outside(Can't really say I wasn't super aware of his presence though lol). Later that day after the trip, he magically turns up in my 6th hour with his friend talking to some girls and then on his way out (as I was eating my subway) he taps me on my shoulder and says "hey kayla" since I was eating and I didn't expect him to say anything I ended up making this weird noise lol.


Jump to the next day, I was running late and my mom was with me to excuse me and right when I'm approaching the office he's right there. I kind-of tried to go unnoticed by him but he saw me and looked directly at me and said hey to me again and I said hey back. I looked back at my mom and she automatically knew who he was

So yeah, I guess he's talking to me again. Oh and he actually didn't qualify for the business event this month, but we will be going out of state next month. I got a reading on how things will go between us this year and it was really good (and accurate on our communication issues lol) so I'm guessing this will all be settle and moved past soon
