For my lab class, there is another classroom across the hall that I can see into. At the beginning of the quarter, I noticed a guy in the other class looking directly at me very often.

At first I didn't think much of it, but then I was on campus walking perpendicularly toward him, and he turned his head and looked my way. He kept his head turned and stared at me as he walked by.

Now whenever I see him, I look at him, and he always stares right back. I'm very shy, and am starting to get very interested in him (he's so cute), so should I be doing more? Would smiling be enough, or do I have to think of a way to speak to him?

Any advice is appreciated--my last relationship was rather long and I seem to have forgotten how to flirt at all...

-I have only known this guy for just over 2 weeks, but he is very polite, friendly, and funny.

-I've noticed that ever since joking with him more, he has started to stand closer to me. I mean, he stands really close--I would say that his face will typically be less than 18" from mine.

-The other day, his hand accidentally touched mine. Well, I don't know if it was an accident or not.

-He told me he "can't say no" to me.

-I think he may be just extroverted and friendly in general, which is why I'm asking. I don't want to be dense, but I also don't want want to assume that he likes me!

Thanks to everyone in advance.

I am in college and my family has seriously abused me my entire life. Though I am now an adult, things have not improved at all. Both parents are abusive, and extended family are as well. I literally have no one to turn to...

Is there anywhere I can turn? Are there any programs designed to help people like me? I'm desperate. I am just trying to live the best life that I can given what I have.

Thank you.

I think that my crush may like me back, but I hate inaction. He could be trying to get to know me before he says anything, so maybe I'm worrying for nothing, but I don't want to let a chance pass me by.

He has said that he is not shy, but has admitted he lacks confidence. He is also the quiet and observant type, so if all else fails, I have no problems telling him directly how I feel (though I think using signals would be ideal).

I would much prefer to use signals, so how blatant would I need to be? I'm interested in more than a fling, so I don't want to be overtly sexual or anything... We already incorporate innocent flirting in our body language (no kissing or hugging), so I have no problem with that.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

I have been struggling with an addiction to sugar, and it is negatively impacting my life. I just want to be healthy and happy. Is there anything that I can do?

Thank you.

I am falling hard for a guy I go to school with. He is a gentleman, he remembers every little thing I tell him, and he gives me the most intense prolonged eye contact I've ever experienced. He has also gone out (not dates, at least I don't think) with me alone on many occasions. He teases me a lot and uses lots of "accidental" touching in his body language--he is always touching my hands.

Are there any signs I can look for to see if this is more than friendliness on his part, or if he wants to start moving things forward? I won't be seeing him for a couple weeks due to school being out for the holidays, but I don't want to get my hopes up or be overly pessimistic either.

Apologies if that is difficult to read or confusing.

My guy friend is always making intense eye contact with me. Any time I hand him something, he places his hands over mine and keeps them there. No one else has ever done something like that, and his hands aren't big. In addition, he is always inviting me to go places alone with him. He has never held my hand, hugged me, or kissed me. Is he just a touchy feely person?
