Take a step back, don't call but smile and be friendly if he looks your way or talks to you. Let him aproach you or not, just see how things go and don't get to stressed about it because if something is going to work out it will and if not, it won't.

Life is a game, honey. And don't believe anybody who tries to convince you otherwise. But you can do whatever you wish, of course.

Pretty much. If she wants to do what almost no girl does and take the initiative to approach him, give him a call, ask him out, etc. then let her go for it. The guy will either accept or not. We don't know how he will react or if he's simply interested in her at all.

Too soon to tell, yup.

I agree with this approach. All you know is that mayyybe you'd like something more. Get ahold of yourself. It's far too early to get the "oneitis." This is NOT the only guy that could rock your world. There are PLENTY of cute guys out there- don't forget that. I would determinedly go out and meet people. I know it's easier to say this than actually do it. I've been in your position before where a guy's actions (especially if he ignores you) gnaw at your brain. Knowing what I know now, I would have done this. You don't belong to anyone- don't make him a priority if you can tell it's not being reciprocated. Don't fall for men's little "gaming tricks" either. Reward actions you like and be aloof when he does things you don't like.

Definitely. Or as the original saying goes: NEVER MAKE SOMEONE A PRIORITY WHEN YOU ARE ONLY AN OPTION!

I don't believe or know he is "the one", but I do like talking to him and hanging out with him. All semester long, we have been like study buddies w/ benefits(only flirting lol). And now he was talking to someone else on the phone and possibly ignoring me. In the class before that we talked and we talked on the phone. So I don't know if I want to ask him out(I'm too shy to do that), but I do want to call him. He did say to call him.

So don't call him(even though he wants me to call him)? What if he thinks I'm ignoring him and ignores me after class again?

Then its his job to not be so "rude" to a lady who he is suppose to be interested in a phone call from....seriously, let him make the call. He seems to be the one with the attitude.. You sure you wanna get involved with THAT?

It's just one of those mysteries I guess. What if it rains? what if it doesn't rain? That doesn't hold you from going out, right? You go out and if it rains, then you'll do something about it, if it doesn't rain, then how nice.

Well, just do something with this guy. Either approach him, call him, or whatever or jsut let it go and if you see him with another girl then accept it as it is and learn from not taking the initiative if that was the case with him.

Well what I'm wondering is if I don't call him and show interest in him, he's not going to show any in me in return and he could be interested in another girl too(which doesn't make him a player). So I lose.
