Does he like me? PLEASE HELP!!! 10 POINTS?
So I asked this guy out to prom about a month ago and he said, "I'm already going with someone" but he never had a date and didn't even go to prom. So I assumed that he just didn't want to go with me and I moved on.
However, directly after prom had ended he followed me on Instagram and now he likes all of the pictures I post. I assumed this was him just feeling sorry about prom so I didn't think much of it.
But even after that, he casually talks to me during school, still not as much as he used to when he didn't know I liked him. He holds doors open for me and asks me questions on homework and things like that. I just thought this was normal though.
But then today I brought a painting I had done into my last class to take it home after school. The guy sits next to me because of our assigned seats, and I noticed he kept glancing at me and the painting. Once class ended he asked me if I had painted it, so I said yes. And then he smiled and told me "It's amazing. You're a really good artist." After I said thanks he turned a gave a look to one of his friends, almost like a sheepish grin.
Now I'm majorly confused. I don't understand this at all. Does he like me? Does he just want to be friends? Does he just feel sorry for me? PLEASE HELP I'M SO CONFUSED!!!
