I'm F16 and can't tell if the guy I like in my class M16 likes me too
I am new to reddit and am not quite sure how it works yet so keep that in mind! Just wondering if anyone has any good advice.
I have no clue about whether or not the guy I like in my class likes me back. For context I am 16F and he is 16M and we are both sophmores in high school. We sit right next to eachother and over this semester we started talking and we talk every day in class pretty much anytime we don't have to be quiet to do work and are friendly.
He gives a lot of signs that he likes me in person, but I'm not sure since he gives mixed signals online. In class he teases me and argues with me in a friendly way, laughs at jokes I make even if they aren't that funny, has friendly competition with me about grades, sometimes leans in when talking to me or stands close to me, tends to sit facing me partially a lot of the time, and looks over at me in class often to see my reaction to things and smile or make a joke about something. He also has gotten papers from the front of the class for me without me asking, remembered that I like kombucha, and often talks about his volleyball and soccer games with me.
When I added him on snap and followed him on instagram a couple of weeks ago he followed and added back pretty quickly, HOWEVER, he never likes my story, and he has left me on opened multiple times. Which is weird because he has replied to my snap to make a joke but didn't carry the convo further, and hasn't sent me any actual snaps. Also, even though he is smart and does just as well in class as me (its AP Gov so a hard class), he once asked me to send him some of the work on snap, and was super overly grateful and thanked me both on snap and in person. His snap score is really low (like 2,000) but it is increasing a little while I'm on opened from a week ago.
He is a friendly person, but I get the sense he has not dated much or at all from one of his reposts that he has since deleted lol that mentioned girls not showing him attention. This doesn't bother me at all since I have also never dated anyone. I really like him, and feel like he might like me too, but I have no clue how to move forward and if likes me and is just a little shy, or is just being friendly. I feel like I have made all the moves to make without asking him (which is a last resort).
Thanks! Any advice would be appreciated.
