Lads, how do you act when you're interested?

What i want to know is what signs should i be looking out for to see if he's interested? How do lads act when they like a girl?

I only ever seem to lock eyes with one lad, as in, whenever i look around a room, i inevitably catch his eye for that akward second or 2. This happens almost every day. Sometimes i think he makes excuses 2 talk 2 me, then the next minute he seems really distracted and not interested. He seems to enjoy the attention when i laugh at his jokes. Other times i catch him looking at me out of the corner of my eye. He seems to value my help in school. When he's drinking he seems happy to see me, and when he's sober he usually acknowledges my presense. He always seems to notice and comment on what i do. I don't notice him paying extra attention to most other girls, but he's 2 busy for a gf. Thing is, he's popular and i'm not.

It's possible, but from my recollection of school, teenage boys are inscrutible (as are teenage girls). I'm afraid the only way to know is to ask.

Wouldn't worry about the popular / unpopular thing, if he's worth being with it won't matter a fig to him.

There could be anything number of explanations for the above. Maybe he just likes the attention. Maybe he likes you. Maybe he likes the thought of you liking him..yada yada. As long as this keeps up he's still a boy. If he can approach you and talk to you about it he's starting to mature.

Who cares? Popularity is the most over rated thing ever in a school setting.

Agreed and it rarely enough translates into adult life to any degree, so don't worry about that.

Popularity isn't like a social ladder or anything. It just so happens that he knows a lot of people and has a lot of friends. That's all.

Also just wondering as to how well you know this guy too because if you don't know each other too well then suddenly one of you starting a conversation with each other might end up awkward unless of course you're both willing to talk complete and utter random crap.

When he's drinking he seems happy to see me, and when he's sober he usually acknowledges my presense.

When drinking I myself find myself conversing a lot with people. Sometimes with people I don't really know. It's just natural. At least he doesn't shun you when he's sober too because that may feel that he's only looking for a one night stand type thing when he's out drinking and sees you but this doesn't seem like the case.

Honestly when speaking about myself I don't really attempt to chat up girls that much. Mainly cos I'm no good at it and I've just resented girls at times but that's a different story.

I currently like a girl at the moment and the only reason that I can talk to her is because we are kinda like friends.
Anyway I just try to give her as many compliments as possible and hopefully say the right thing at the right time. Nothing has happened between us but that's just what I do.

You have no chance with any girl if you just spend your time giving her compliments. You need to show you have a personality, your own opinions, you have a sense of humour. You cant just stand there and tell her she is gorgeous etc. (although maybe if you met some neurotic insecure lunatic, you might be in )

Well I don't just give her compliments. I do have conversations with her too. Compliments are actually a very small percentage of how I go about talking to her. Should've mentioned that but I'm only really just up and breakfast seemed like a better idea so I just rushed through my last post.

well we didn't know each other before this year, but we're in the same class now so we've spent a lot of time together over the past few months, in a classroom setting.

What year are you in by the way?

Don't. You will often find them even if they're not there (good ol' confirmation bias). My advice would be to ask him out on a date the next time you're chatting by yourselves.

This varies with everyone and can be completely opposite from lad to lad (some will shut up shop, some will be a show off). The best method from either side is to be more direct.

Look for the tell tale inflation of the chest. The exposure of the adams apple to view. A widening of the eyes. You will definitely see a scratching of the unmentionables, a licking of the lips when he looks at your unmentionables; certainty lies in the moment when he scent marks you. Get it?
