What do I do?

So at a school dance, I asked the boy I liked to dance. Let's call him Joe. So I liked Joe since my class went on a 4-day hiking trip in October. In January one of my friends let's call her Emma told me she knew that Joe liked me because he told her. Now Joe is like the shy introvert type so she said she would kill me if I told anyone else. So, life goes on I start to notice Joe looking at me during lunch and other stuff like that. So time goes on. Ok so I'm am at the Valentine's day dance and Joe came and he never comes to dances. So my other friend was gonna call her Mary pulled me aside and was like so I know that Joe likes you he told me. And I was like that sounds really suspiciously similar to what Emma said. So I started freaking out and pulled Emma into the bathroom and I was like: When did Joe tell you he liked me. and she said he told them while they were volunteering at the WARM Center. (You need volunteer hours to graduate). Then after that, I was like I'm gonna ask him to dance. But Joe isn't the type to dance (shy, introvert.) I asked my friend Grace to ask him if he would say yes to someone asking him to dance. He said Yes. So I asked him to slow dance... He said yes. It was awkward and we kept dancing after the song had finished cause we didn't realize it. I hid in the bathroom for the rest of the dance. Okay so I go to school on Monday and it is so awkward and or friends make fun of us at lunch. I haven't really talked to him since that night. Idk what to do?

    What you want to do is defuse the situations by pretending that you have got nothing to hide. The reason why people enjoy gossip and innuendo is because of the reactions people give when they are trying to cover up something scandalous. Therefore if you do not give any reactions then people will realize that there is nothing to see and move on.

    With regards to this guy, you want to give him the impression that you enjoyed the night and would like him to continue to approach you. If you aren't confident enough to break the ice, then try giving him hints to come up and approach you. For example, doing things like smiling and waving at him are two examples of warm and inviting gestures that really encourage people to come up and speak to you. Ultimately, your goal should be to make this guy feel confident and comfortable around you so he can express his feelings. I really hope this helps :)
