Okay so this will be pretty long
I'm 15 and so is Jake, the guy I like. We had three classes together last semester (school just ended last week). My friend Kate liked him a lot at the beginning of the semester and he knew because she made it really obvious but he didn't like her back because he didn't ask her out or anything and he pretended that he didn't know. But I was talking to one of his friends in class and he was telling me that Jake would always check for signs that Kate likes him whenever they would talk. Like body language and stuff. Me, Jake and Kate all have English class together so we would talk then but I would never talk to Jake in my other classes. But then around the beginning of May, we started talking more and stuff and I started to like him. He started to act like he liked me too around the end of May. Like he'd do a lot of stuff like randomly start conversations.

For example, we hadn't talked at all one day which was really weird and then it was the next day and we still weren't talking and he wasn't even sitting near me and he was like "Trinity, why is our science teacher giving us so much homework at the end of the year?" Like he was obviously trying to talk, right? He'd also smile at me a lot and I've caught him looking at me. One time I was walking back from the bathroom at lunch and he was sitting with his friends and I saw him looking at me and we made eye contact. Also, a lot of them time when I would do or say something funny or stupid he would look over at me and smile and laugh and then look away and smile and laugh again and it would be so cute. He'd also look at my reactions whenever something funny happened in a group. Like he seriously acted like he liked me sometimes. But then other times he acted like he didn't. For example, me, Kate, him, and his close friend were all in the same English class and we all sat together but then him and his friend got moved to the back. Jake would sometimes sit with us but usually he'd sit with his friend. One time I asked him to sit with us and he didn't. But then one time he was sitting with us and his friend was like "Nooo, Jake come sit with me instead" and Jake was like "No, you come sit here instead." and then his friend was like "Would you rather sit with me or them?" and Jake said he'd rather sit with us. He's so confusing. Also, he doesn't really linger around after class or anything to talk to me. Like usually if you like someone, you do stuff like that. Also, we had an assembly and he was with his friend and he made no effort to try and sit next to me. He doesn't seem to notice me as much when he's with his friends. Also, we kind of talked on Facebook a few times but usually about homework. We had a conversation once because I talked to one of his friends in class and his friend asked me to rate everyone in his group and I rated Jake lower than his friend and his friend specifically told Jake what I rated them and then Jake messaged me because he was offended and he actually kind of kept the conversation going. But then I ask about homework and he gives one word answers. He's not that much of a texting guy but still, if he liked me he'd make more effort. It's obvious he doesn't like Kate but one time, they talked for hours on Facebook.

Okay and also, a few weeks ago, I was in class and Jake's best friend (Liam) was in my group for a project and he was like "So Trinity, you have a thing for Jake. It's so obvious. Don't worry, I won't tell him. It'll be our secret." I kept denying and denying but he wouldn't buy it! And then the next day Jake kept asking me random questions about a quiz and we were talking and then Liam was like "aww cuties" and Jake was like "shut the hell up". Why did Liam say this? And why did Jake tell him to shut up? I'm so confused! But a few days before that I was talking to another one of Jake's friends and I was asking if Jake knew that Kate liked him and he said that he did and then he was like "and he thinks that... uhh never mind." I'm pretty sure he was going to say that Jake thought I liked him.. ugh.

Oh, and last week after one of my exam I saw his friends at school and we talked a little because one of them was offended over what I rated him and then I crossed the street and I was standing alone waiting for my bus and Jake and Liam and another one of his friends were all standing on the other side of street and they kept looking at me and then Jake and Liam started walking to me so I panicked and turned around (stupid idea, I know) and then when I turned back around they had stopped. Was he going to ask me out or something? His friends kept on shoving him and stuff. Oh, and the day before that (it was the last of school) me and Jake were the last ones in the class and Liam was waiting for him outside and me and Jake kind of left the classroom at the same time. Jake got to Liam and I heard Liam ask "Did you make the move yet?" Did he mean ask me out? Ugh, I'm so confused.
I can't tell if he likes me, if he doesn't care about me at all, or is he thinks I like him and he's just messing with me. His friend said that he's always too p*ssy to ask girls out. He's a pretty awkward guy and can be shy. So do you think he's trying to make sure I like him because he's scared of being rejected? I can't tell. We haven't talked since exams last week. Heeeeelp!

Okay so we're both 15. My crush Jake and I started talking more around May because we have a lot of classes together. Anyway, sometimes he'll act like he likes me. Like he'll smile at me, initiate conversations, tease me, and I've seen him looking at me a few times. But then other times he acts like he doesn't like me. Like he sometimes sits with me and my friend in class but he usually sits with his friend in that back. I asked him to sit with us once and he didn't. And also, whenever I ask about homework on Facebook, he usually gives one word replies. And like sometimes he doesn't really seem to notice me much in class. Also, in class, his best friend went up to me and he was all like "You have a thing for Jake? It's so obvious." and I kept denying but he didn't believe me. And then the next day Jake and I were talking and the same friend was like "aww cuties" and Jake told him to shut up. Also, my friend used to like Jake and Jake knew and he would always look for signs that she liked him, so I'm scared he knows I like him and he's just messing with me to see if it's true that I like him.
But he looks so happy and into our conversations whenever we talk and stuff. What do you think? He's the most confusing guy ever. I think that maybe he may like me and he isn't sure if I like him so he doesn't want to make it too obvious? I know that he's really scared of rejection and he's an awkward guy in general.

I think he may be confused because your actions seem to send mixed messages. You turn away when he walked towards you, you keep denying your interest in him when his friends ask or make a comment, of course they relay that back to him, so while you are not sure whether he likes you or not, he is likely wondering the same thing about you!

Next time a friend of his asks or comments about you liking him, own up to it. "Yes, I think he's a great guy" otherwise this will just go round and round and you will never know. You could always ask him out yourself... "Hey, such and such is playing on Saturday, want to go see it with me"?

I agree, if he keeps hearing,NO... he will just go somewhere else
