this might be a kinda long T-T;;

how i started liking this guy:
my best friends were curious about who i like and i didn't feel like telling them who i really liked (don't really know why at the time O.o;;) so i pointed to some random guy in the same grade as me which turned out to be "him". I never really paid much attention to him and only talked to him once XD (new to the school at the time). After like awhile i started falling for him...i don't even know why/how...it just happened O_O...i started to pay more attention to the guy i "apparently" liked and BOOM =__=;;

i was lovestruck .____.

okay the guy i liked [for about 2/3 years?], when he found out [don't even remember if i confessed or not XD] i liked him he avoided me for a few weeks
but then after awhile it didn't so awkward and stuff
but he doesn't talk to me or anything but he still "does things"
like i would go up to him and ask for a hug and he'll give me one....[i don't ask for one often though]
at first the hugs were like only me hugging him, but more recently he hugs back...
and there was this dance [he was hanging by the boys sitting on the bench by the wall] and when i asked him to dance...he danced with me [*cough* it was more like i grabbed his arm and went "Let's Dance!" XD] he agree and during the dance he was holding balloons and jokingly wacked me in the head -o- [he was pretty stiff and looked like a wobbling penguin LOL but he was like "omg where are we going" and "omg i can't dance/i'm scared" XD]
on msn if he calls one of my friends a nerd he keeps teasing her and stuff but one time when we were talking about sports
[i knew nothing =__=;;] and then he called me a nerd but then afterwards he was like jkjk...
recently he hurt his ankle and when he came back i asked him if he was okay
his eyes went all shifty and he said it hurts but it's okay..
why did he avoided eye contact? ....because he likes me or is it because he doesn't want to lead me on?

there's more =__=;;

one of my best friend's litte sister hangs out with his little sister alot so my best friend see him often...
for awhile we both liked him but then she got over him some time later...
he acts "kinda" [he's a weirdo in the first place XD] normal around my best friend too...
they fool around alot but my best friend use to date his best friend so i don't really know -o-
my friends also likes video games and sports and they both play together and stuff.....

i'm really confused and blehhh T_T

edit//

he's shy but is an AMAZING athlete

basically i smooshed up everything from 2/3 years ago til now XD

from what you wrote, I can tell you that... i have no idea how he feels.
I mean, he jokes with you - everyone jokes around, friends or lovers
his eyes got shifty when you asked how is ankle was - it could have been anything. he felt uncomfortable or he was just looking for someone?
he gives you a hug when you ask for one - it'd be kind of sad if he refused. he might just be trying to be polite.

but at the same time, he might like you. i don't know but don't over analyze every single little thing he does for/to you otherwise you might make a big thing out of nothing.

i can't help it -o-
but i guess your right about over thinking things >_<;;
i am also pretty sure there was no other people in the hallway besides one of my friends and one of his friends but he was wayy up ahead
we also pass each other down this hallway during lunch almost everyday and he's usually looks away from me -o-

Based what i can tell...
he only sees you as a friend..
he always joke around with you and your best friend?
but he's shy? Gah I think what your trying to say is kind of confusing..
but yea..if he did like you, he'll show it.

That was.. kinda confusing, ahah. Idk, if he did like you, I think he would've made some move by now. Or atleast hinted it. xD

Ahhh, I would hate it if he liked your friend.. that would be the most awkwardest hardest thing to ever endure -____-

appears to be an empty relationship - you are merely infatuated

you have not begin to go deeper into who he is and what makes him tick
it is not your fault, because you do not know what you are looking for

amongst your very first questions should be: what makes him happy? and how do you contribute to what makes him happy?

you should be happy because this sounds like your first love. the ability to love is a very strong affirmation of your right to be amongst human beings. the second is to be loved in return.

well the only thing i can say atm is dont overthink and go with the flow

idunno flirt with him some more and see if he reacts to wat u want.

good luck ; )
