I posted this in LI, but I didb't get very many helpful responses. So I thought I'd give it a try here.
I met this guy back in the sixth grade. He was sweet, smart, funny, athletic, chivalrous, kind to others, confident but not cocky, gorgeous...everything I ever wanted in a guy. Well, somehow, everyone found out that I liked him, and I didn't live it down for a year and a half.
At the beginning of last year, I wanted nothing to do with him (understandable, right?). But he and I had a lot of classes together, and we were (and are) both in honors classes, so talked a lot, worked together on schoolwork, etc. Whenever we needed a partner or a group for a project, he would choose me. We became very good friends.
It was then I realized that I was liking him again. I couldn't tell if he liked me or not, but I just kept hoping. He accidentally cut my hand one time when we were playing around during free time, and he was so sweet about it, bringing me paper towels and asking if I was all right every two seconds or so.
Now we're freshmen in high school. I thought about him all summer, and we e-mailed each other planned on getting together, but it fell though because he had to go to the swimming championships. (He's the state champ. ^^)
We have a few classes together. I gave him a little medallion from my visit to Canada, and he loved it. Then, when he had the flu, he called me for homework (when he could have called any number of his guy friends!). The next day, I brought him cookies as a get well gift.
A few days later, he called to me when I was about to get on the bus and handed me a bundle of tissue paper, saying it was from Florida and he wanted me to have it. I didn't have time to open it, so I thanked him and opened it as soon as I could. It was a beautiful little shell box. I was so happy, and thanked him many times the next day.
Well, we're friendly and all, but I don't think he likes me back. I mean, it's not like he's asked me on a date or anything, and I'm pretty sure he only gave me the box because he felt obligated, since I gave him the medallion and cookies. I want so badly to ask him to Homecoming, but I'm afraid of being rejected.
Last week, at my friend's sleepover, I was sitting with my friends in the hot tub, when one of them mentioned that she thought that this guy liked me. (They all know that I'm totally in love with him.) I said, "What!??" Apparently, in class, he looks back at me every chance he gets. He sits up straighter when I enter a room, and just me. And they say that he's different around me. Around everyone else, he's just himself, but around me, he's way different, and sweeter.
He's coming to my birthday party on the 1st. He was really happy when I asked him. And he says he can't wait for the party.
Also, he calls me often. Usually, it's about homework at first, but then he drags on the conversation (in a good way ^.^) for half an hour. He calls me because we're both in Honors classes, but he has a ton of friends in those classes who he could call instead. O.o
I do want to ask him to Homecoming. But how should I do it? I think I'll be casual about it. "Are you going to Homecoming?""Are you going with anyone?""Want to go with me?" Something like that. I'm so scared though.
What do you think? Does it sound like he likes me? Or does he just want to be friends? What should I do? How should I ask him? Any advice pertaining to this issue is welcomed and loved!

You know what? It can't hurt to give it a try. Just ask if he would like to go to homecomming with you. Worst that can happen is he'll say no.
If I were you I'd be worried if he said yes. You're friends, you get into a relationship which will end, and after it's over, you might not wanna be friends anymore...
Good luck. whee

It sounds like he does like you. I think you should ask him to homecoming. The way you plan to say it sounds good, too.

Even with all the attributes that you've said, he's probably incredibly shy about dating.
Just do like you planned to ask him. It's really obvious that you two are retarded for each other blaugh

Sounds as if he could like you. Mabye this guy is just shy. Do you know if he has had any other girlfriends? If so do you know how serious they were? If he hasn't then that could be because of you. If he has it could still mean that he really likes you but doesn't have the courage to be anything more than friends incase he makes and idiot of himself.
About homecoming, the next time the two of you are chatting bring up in conversation "Do you know who you want to take to homecoming?" And wait for his reaction. If he's shy or quiet it could mean he genuially doesn't know or he is just shy. If he doesn't know that could mean he doesn't know wether to ask you or not.

Well if theres one thing Iv'e lernd in life it can't hurt to at least ask if a friend thinks there is a chance to be as more then a friend, (just don't tell him how you feel unless he ask or things may get very akward, if he dosn't ask or avoids answering the question entirly, then he probaly not ready for that sort of relationship so just keep up the friendship and try asking again in a month, it may be a long time).

That guy definetly sounds like he likes you. Trust me if a guy can actualy take to pick out something as thoughtful as a shell box. It looks like you guys have a pretty good relationship and its ready for the next step. Just ask him to homecoming, be casual. And if he seems to get wigged about just say something like we can go as friends.

He's had a couple, but they weren't too serious, since they were in middle school. It's strange because he's always asked out his othe rgirlfriends, but they were never serious.

well he may have a crush on you.. just ask him and see what happens.. do it casually. what have you got to lose.. imean you could just say as friends you know? High school is a lot different then middle school i know plenty of my friends don't just ask guys they like to go to dances and stuff but guy friends.. so wouldn't it seem that way just in case he doesn't like you.. either way...
just go for it girl!

IT seems that he knows you like him, and he is trying to egg you on. Usually, friends wear out. If he is accually nicer to you now than he was back when you were FIRST friends, there is a chance he likes you.

Any advice pertaining to this issue is welcomed and loved! wow...he sound just like this one guy I know.... description....swimming thing...kind to everyone else....acts not himself around me. Except...we aren't friends...well...we met in 6th grade...we were friends...close frineds. ...but I couldn't talk to him..I was so shy. So we fell apart. Ihated him for going with some other chick...but we could have been together if I just talked to him. I wish I were you it's like on futurama...with the other dimensions. In mine...I never became close friends with him. But i yours...you kept being friends and let something actually happen. Yeah....he likes you...he's madly in love with you!!! ^^ I am confused with my guy though. I think I heard one of his friends say he liked me...but I wasn't sure. He always looks at me....we can't stop cathing eachother's eyes. And his friends keep calling out my name.....How would they know my name (first and last) when I didn't know anyone of the group except him. He has to have some feelings for me... sad He says some words to me...but we never had a real conversation. It could work.....if I wasn't so gosh darn shy... *blush* *sigh* I miss you

If youre unsure, dont do anything about it... Leave it as the happy and comfortable best-friendship that it is; Me and my old boyfriend were like that alot, but we exchanged this little leather book with thoughts and what not.. We'd write in it in class, and we would take turns taking it home and writing [or drawing; he is an artist like me] in it. We ended up having like 4 more leather books full of information and thats how we got to know eachother [besides hanging out and having alomst all our classes together, like you too] What I can say is Definitely dont burn any bridges with this friend: Still see and keep up with your current friends, school-work, and things that make you happy. Let things flow, and dont move to fast. Fast-paced relationships are usually pointed out later down the road, and its no good. cry Take it as it comes, and dont rush it. wink

Sounds to me that he likes you. I'd say go for it and ask him to the dance. Hey, I'd say just ask him out. It sounds like you're really good friends and he really cares about you. And if you like them then why not.
