A silly crush.

I'm trying to decide if this guy I had an internship with is interested in me. This happens.
He's a nerdy-ish guy (studying physics in college, seriously). I've known him since last year, during a summer program that I interned at this week.
I thought he was cute-ish last year, but the program was only 2 weeks long so we only talked occasionally afterwards via facebook since we didn't have any classes together and went to different schools.
When we were in the camp during free-time, I felt that he teased me frequently (not in a hurtful way). When he was with a bunch of other people, he didn't talk to me as much and would ask me random questions about school and what sort of classes I was taking. He also started a poke war on facebook (silly), and he's poked me more than 100 times (I know this because on my gmail account, it clumped all of his pokes together). When he's online, I'll poke him and he'll poke me back literally a second or two later, which is flirting? I think. He starts conversations with me on facebook, but they don't last long and they begin on the most random notes - like "have you heard about ____" or "you certainly are online a lot! (:P) "
He also got my phone number from facebook and asked me questions about the camp and whatnot when I was running errands and he wasn't there. He has my email also?
He's hard to read. He's clearly shy. He also sat next to me a lot of the time, and when we were alone he was very talkative and told me a lot of random/funny things about himself.
I'm not really sure. I could just be silly about this. =P But I'm just trying to figure things out. I'm very hesitant with things. Be honest with me. This is a light-hearted sort of thread. x3

I see no clear indication of feelings as any of this could be construed as merely goofing around/normal friendship.

If you want a clear answer ask him on a date or subtly inquire in a roundabout way whether he has any feelings.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Cliche but true.

I'm glad you agree. I am very hesitant about relationships since what happened in the last one I was in. Thanks for your honesty. I'll probably give it a few more days before making my move, if I do make a move.
Also, he uses a lot of exclamations/emoticons online. Oh, and he says lol after everything I say. I think he's nervous. I dunno though.

I think you both seem nervous.

If you decide to do anything about it. Move slowly.

Relationships are like fairytales. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before finding a prince.

Everyone is different. Don't hold it against others, what past bf's have done. It's never helpful.

Good Luck. I hope it works out for you either way.

Haha. x) I am nervous about it, it's true. It's hard to convince myself to go forward with it when I don't know for a fact whether or not he reciprocates the feeling. I've been trying to tell myself that there is little to lose. It's not like he's my best friend or that I spend a lot of time with him face-to-face on a daily basis. He's just a guy I find cute. XD

Only one way to find out.

It's an ancient secret, very well guarded, i will however reveal it to you:

Ask him.

Yes. Be bold. Take the answer you get. Nothing worse than not knowing. It never ends and you cannot live life that way.

It's unfortunately easier said than done. But thanks for the advice you guys. I appreciate it. I am almost tempted to ask one of his friends about it, to see if they know anything. I complained in a status light-heartedly about poking on facebook, and he posted a "-_-" smiley face, which one of his friends liked I don't think it means anything, but then again I'm unsure about it's meaning.
Or I'm just dumb. XD
The status I posted that he commented on is something about how those who are poking me will be vanquished. XD

the only thing worse getting burned is never knowing.
try asking via an email. its eaiser to put thing in writing and it give you time to think about what you want to say.
