I need answers

[nickmcdonaldnhhs]

At the beggining of the semester there is this guy in my class his name is Peter, and he sits across the table from me. I've noticed that he seems to stare at me while I am doing my work and when I look up he starts to smile.

He has also called me a couple of times just to talk to me. I don't know if he is gay or bi or anything but after telling a couple of my friends about him they seem to think he is.

Do you think he's interested in me? I just recently told one of my best friends that I was bi and she is the only one that knows, and if he is interested in me how should I approch him?

Thanks guys

Gay or not, he is interested in you. Strike up a friendship with him and hang with him awhile. Tell him you are gay. If he likes you, it won't matter.

 

[nickmcdonaldnhhs]

Thank you so much, I think I'm gonna invite him to dinner one day with me and my friends.

Is that a good idea?

 

[runner]

Sounds great. Good luck.

 

[nickmcdonaldnhhs]

Thanks guys!! I'll talk to him tomorrow.

Yeah, the advice that's been given is pretty sound. Are YOU interested in him? (if you answered that already, sorry!)

 

[nickmcdonaldnhhs]

Yes i am interested in him but i'm scared if I tell him that I like him and he is creeped out over the fact that one of his friends is not only gay but interested in him, then our friendship will be over. I just feel I need more clues to see if he really is interested.

Is there anything else I should be watching for when I see him that might be considered flirting?

I'd advise you to just be yourself and let him know your orientation as soon as possible. I think a lot of us like the cat and mouse game but it can cause a lot of grief.

Ok, so todayI have class with Peter and he hardly talked to me today. I would try to start a conversation and get a vague response.

I was thinking that maybe I waited to long to approach him and tell him how I feel and he has moved on.

What do you guys think?

 

[Mattzrider]

Maybe your friends spread some rumors and they got back to him.

Then again, maybe Petey was just having a blah day. Ask him to a movie or concert or lunch or better, ask him to help with your homework.

ask him to lunch or something really casual, no pressure that way. You can have conversation and get to know more about each other, that will let you know if you would like to know him better

I just want to thank everyone for their responses. I haven't asked Peter to hang out yet beacuse i've been very buys and haven't really talked to him but today after class I stayed back to work on the computer and he was working on a project with his partner. I had revieved a call from one of my friends asking where is was beacuse we walk to our next class together. When I was done with the call he said

"was that your girlfriend?"

and i said, "no shes a lesbian, i don't think her girlfriend would like for her to be my girlfriend"

then he said " well it just more of you for everyone else" with a big smile on his face

Now i realize i could be totally overthinking the situation, but the way i interpreted what he said was that its a good thing that were not daiting beacuse he wants me.

How would you interpret what he said and should i just tell him that i'm bi and see where it goes from there.

Thanks guys, i really appreciate your time in readind and commenting back.

Nick,
I'd say, unless you want to retire back on the farm (Old MACDonald had a farm . . .) a bachelor, it sounds like it's shit or get off the pot time.

It sounds like he's definitely interested. ASK him to go out for some coffee, lunch, to study, but ASK HIM!

I don't know if that leaves more for Everyone else, but it might mean there's more of me for You, if you're interested.
