Hello everyone, I need some advice on one guy I have my eye on but first background info.
I'm 20 years old and came out to my family about a month and a half ago which went extremely well, mainly due to the fact my family members have each other. This was important for my mom since my sister was able to get her to understand. My sister said she knew I was gay, which was something I wasn't expecting. Ever since coming out I felt as though, what else in life is there to fear besides death? So I'm currently at or close to my highest self-esteem I've ever been and people have noticed. There are more changes I want to make for myself but those have to wait which I have no problem with.
I joined the LGBT club on my school campus and they're all great people except one who I'll get to in a minute. There are a few members of the club I have or did have a crush on. One of them was taken, so he's off the list. Another one was single. My prior attempts at getting into a relationship with guys always failed so I decided to take a different approach. This guy we were friends, hung out a bit outside of school so I just told him up front that I liked him. He said I definitely had a shot.
Fast forward about 2~3 weeks on a Sunday evening, he calls me asking if I called him, which I didn't. I rarely call people, so I know when and where I call people but he insisted that I called him. He tells me that he isn't interested in me as a boyfriend, which I have no issue with, however he goes into reasons. He said I was clingy, made him look bad, only likes older guys. He also told me to stop calling him. That angered me but I just replied with "Don't worry, I won't." The next morning, I felt a great sense of relief because I felt as though I dodged a bullet there and made me realize that I've changed so much. I used to have a fear of being rejected but after that I no longer have that fear at all. About a week later, I found out through my friends in the club that he had nothing good to say about me before calling me that Sunday. Currently he and I don't talk and he actively tries to ignore me. Saves me the trouble of trying to be cordial and polite.
However, that didn't really discourage me in the least and I have a new guy I'm interested in. The only problem is that there is only 2 weeks left before break and only 1 day out of those 2 weeks I can talk to him. He and I aren't friends yet but are acquaintances. I talked with him a few times but not as much as I wanted to. I really want to get to know him better but I feel as though asking for his number would be too presumptuous of me, but if I don't I'll have to wait until January which is too long of a wait. I have a feeling of what I should do but I still you your opinion.
