so... does he like me?

well, i like this guy... and he seems like my type. you know, artist, not necessarily popular, listens to the music i do, etc. (this really isn't important).... so on one of the first days that i talked to him, i told him some insecurities i had (i guess he's just easy to talk to) and he said he had some too, so we just kind of talked, and i was like "well, i never really take chances anymore" and he agreed and said "yeah, i don't really speak out anymore..."

well, i want to know if he likes me (he looks at me a lot and gives me hugs and stuff, which is surprising because he said he wasn't that open, and he doesn't do it to any other girls), but i can't really tell, because if he's anything like me, then it'll be really hard to read him. he said he doesn't take chances... so he won't be all over me like other guys are with the girls they like. he doesn't sit with me at lunch or approach me hardly at all (except in my last pd of the day, he sits behind me and we talk all the time), and i know that i would personally feel like an idiot if i pretty much threw myself at him, so...

are there any SUPER telltale signs that i could use to know if he feels the same way? (don't say "ask him," i might later, but i just want to be sure...)
