How do I pursue this boy now???
Submitted By: nervous wreck
Date: December 9
Jeff and Anthony, first off thanks for your advice. Without it I wouldn’t have had the guts to do what I needed to do. I saw the other guy in the library one day and after a few minutes of getting up the nerve I finally walked over and asked him why he inquired about my name.
He said the reason he asked was because he thought I was related to one of the teachers who he thought I looked like. That may very well have been the case but when you compare pictures there isn’t much resemblance, so I’ve got a feeling it may have just been a clever cover story.
During that brief time that I was talking with him he seemed like a very nice guy, and I hope in time that I can at least be friends with him. After that however I got the feeling he was avoiding me. It very well may have been that he felt his cover was blown (I’m now thoroughly convinced that he’s gay) so he’s staying away from me: when I pass him in the hall he sees me and then quickly looks away, he acts as though I’m not even there.
As it is I don’t have many opportunities to talk to him. For the most part it’s just passings in the halls, however I do have the chance to talk with him at lunch. So as far as verbal communication goes there isn’t any at the time being. Another factor in the back of my head is that the semester will be coming to an end in early January so then in next semester’s schedule I won’t have any clue where I can get a hold of him should I finally have the gall to do so.
One last thought (they tend to come in clusters), I’m not sure but I think he may have posted a question in your column. In an earlier post titled “Is he or isn’t he?” there were several familiar parallels. What first caught me was the mention that he was a freshman in high school, the guy that I’m wondering about also is a freshman. Along with that were mentions of not taking an interest in girls, being touchy feely with guys, and not being defensive when called gay. Granted this could be any gay high school student, the last comment is what got me wondering. He mentioned that the other guy just kind of stared at him and stared back. This was one of the main happenings of my current situation. I guess what I’m wondering is if there is anything you could do to get the two of us connected so I could check and see if it is who I think it is.
Aside from the previous paragraph I guess what I’m looking for is any further wisdom you may have for how I could go about this entire ordeal. Thanks again. You guys have been a great help.
