Alright,another boy but different from most!!!Calling all boys and girlz!!!?

Question

Alright this is not the usual boy question,but there is this boy he is popular but seems nice and he isnt that talkitive but he talks.He was afterschool helpin out my softball coach and i asked the coach for help w/ my throwing and the boy said i shouldve asked him becuz hes more experienced(and he smiled when i said sumthin in response). anyways i find that i have a class w/ him i dont really think much of him but when we're in class he'll glance at me a lil longer than usual short glances and when i catch his eye he turns around smoothly. But in the hallway there is not much contact at all/or wave or smile?Today he was lookin at me for the longest becuz i wasnt sitting in my usual seat i guess he was lookin 4 me or just browsin the room but he didnt have an expression on his face like (usually a flirt smiles/winks) but he doesnt smile at all he just looks. I held his eye for about 4 sec and i made an expression that was kinda like what are you lookin at.and seemed like he was about to make one to but i couldnt tell what he meant by it.Im very confused by him and his eyes, is he tryin to say sumthin but doesnt want to becuz im not the most popular girl or whatever. Girlz have you ever known a boy to do this to you becuz it is very odd.And popular boyz have you ever done this.

Answer 1

go 4 it

Answer 2

This is a sort of serious flirting pattern, or at least it can be.  You are both very aware of each other, and tense about it. It feels odd because this is more about instincts than about stuff you know with your conscious brain.

Now that everyone fixes their cats and dogs, I can't tell you to watch a couple of animals go about "flirting," but if you have ever seen that, people are not so different.

No, this does not mean "go for it."  In the unlikely event that you are both mature enough for effective birth control, and you won't hate yourself or each other, I guess you could follow through.  But that level of physical fascination is pretty intense stuff.  Also, it's something that someone can learn to do.  It would be really terrible to say, "I am not mentally interested in him, and don't know him, but I will do what his eyes make my body want"...and then find out that he's learned how to do it, and does it when he wants some girl.

If you think you might like to get closer, but not too close, tell him that he has amazing eyes, and that you want to know if he has brains to match.  If he is crazy for you, he will work to impress you, never mind who's more popular.  If he's just making eyes, he'll laugh it off, and you won't have been "caught."  If he likes you, but is not ready to deal with it, he can laugh it off, and no-one gets hurt.

Do not drink, or go to a drive in, or end up in a room in a house or the woods alone, unless you  are ready for your bodies to make some possibly regrettable decisions.  Pregnant over the summer and a baby instead of 10th grade would not be a good answer, no matter how intense his eyes are.
