Why do guys bump me on the shoulder?

Question

im a senior in highschool and there is this one guy who i hardly know he would always be staring at me from far away but when i am near him he would act like he doesnt even see me. this has gone on for over one year and has happened quite a few times. i always ignored his stare except one time he caught me off guard and we held eyecontact longer than normal. today i had one class with him and everyone was standing waiting for their seat assignments and as he was walking by he bumped me on the shoulder and back with his shoulder or something and kept walking...i think he likes me, am i interpreting his hints correctly or no? also, a few months ago he looked behind him and he saw me there and he stood up really straight. i like him too. he has never approached me to talk but he watches me have conversations with people from afar. im shy, so i dont want to approach him, but i have a feeling he wants me to. does he like me?

Answer 1

To tell you the truth, the part where he stood up really straight tells me he really likes you. The hit on the should was probably to prompt you to be playful and ask why he's doing that.

If you think you like him ask him why he did that, then you will be both open to conversation with each other.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Answer 2

Yes, he likes you. The next time he does it, tell him Hi and smile at him. That will open the door for him to say something or stop and talk to you. Being so shy won't get you anywhere. Talk to him! Think of all the fun you're missing out on just because you won't talk to him. He could be the one, but you're letting him get away.
