I like this goth guy at school...?

Question

I am not goth. I'm not preppy either, but I'm more into rap, r&b, and that kind of stuff. I just started a new school way different from my old one. I have sort of made friends with this goth guy named "James." He's incredibly nice and he's so adorable. He's goth, not emo btw. I was really reluctant to sit with him in class at first, but I had to b/c of assigned seating. He's not like I thought he would be. He's smart, kind, politically aware, and many qualities that I admire in a guy. Anyway, I am trying not to stereotype him anymore. I can't stop thinking about him. I really think that I have feelings for him.

Today I ended up being behind him in the hall. I got lost in thought and just looked at him and his perfect features. I got lost in thought looking his dyed blonde hair when he suddenly turned around at me like he had seen me the whole time. How could he have? I tried to shrug off my trance but he looked at me with a slightly sad look on his face and said "That's okay." and turned the corner. He said it so softly too, not in an emo way.

What does that mean? I know he was talking to me. Does he think I don't like him? How should I react in school tomorrow? I'm confused. Also, should I ask him out? Will it work out? Any advice is appreciated just don't be mean or critical please.

Answer 1

  honey, just GO FOR IT! tell him how you feel!! for serious.  life is too short to spend it wondering "what if?"

  youve already discovered he is a cool person, and you like what he brings to the table, so just go for it.  tell him how you feel.

  

  

Answer 2

he probably is use to people staring at him cause he looks different but dont be shocked when he just walks of like that he probably just thinks u think he is strange so talk to him and explaine how u feel mabye he feels the same way. well any most sterotyped goths just wear black eye liner and black clothes and as i do i know after a while u just dont care if anyone stares at u cause lets face it we are different to the rest of the world and we  just dont worry about people that stare at us cause we are probably the most courages and yet strange kind of human some people have ever seen.

ooh, sounds tricky..just talk to him..that could make it better, or you could find out some other way what that was. if you get too sneaky or suspicious, you may look weird to him.. just act normal, be yourself and talk to him.. i'd wait before asking him out if i were you.

Answer 4

You should just let him know your into him, and that you don't care about him being goth if he likes you he'll be happy.
