We’ve All Been There: Does He Like Me?
September 29, 2009 Posted in Reality, Relationships
I'm gonna have to get this boy drunk.
You met him on the first day of class. He showed up late and took the seat next to you. As the professor droned on (and on) about the books you need, the upcoming group projects and the exam schedule, you two sat in the back of the lecture hall and whined about how awful the next 10 weeks were going to be.
You start sitting together in every class. When a group project is assigned, you choose to work together. When exam time comes, you make a study date at the library. Not that it’s all work; you guys really get along and start chatting daily on AIM and Facebook.
You like this boy. He’s everything you want: he’s smart, he’s funny, he’s got a great smile that makes his eyes scrunch up, he’s interested in the same things as you, he wears great shoes… Sigh.
When you tell your friends about him they urge you to go for it. You, however, aren’t so sure. You have to see him nearly every day for the rest of the semester. What if he doesn’t feel the same way as you? What if he’s just hanging out with you to get the notes from lecture? What if that girl in 3 of his Facebook photos is actually his girlfriend?
But as time goes on you start to like him more. You start putting makeup on before class every day and spend your evenings stalking him online. You start making up excuses to contact him (“I…uh….lost my pen. Can I come over and borrow one?”) and get upset when he doesn’t show up to class (“Oh no, he was probably up late last night hooking up with some other girl. That girl who sits in the front row is gone too. It must be her.”)
When you start drawing out your names in hearts on your notebook paper you realize you need to do something. You only live once, you don’t want to miss out on something great… and you really need to make out with someone. And it’s not like you need to send him a love letter (sprayed with your favorite perfume) expressing your feelings; you guys just need to get drunk together. One night of making out in the corner of a bar will let you know once and for all how he feels.
In class the next morning you casually (or so it seems – you spent hours planning out what you were going to say to him) ask him if he wants to hang out with you and your friends later that night. He agrees.
After hours spent applying makeup, putting together the perfect “I’m a lot hotter than I look in class” outfit and taking a few shots to ease your butterflies, you head out with your friends to meet up with him. No matter how many times they tell you how hot you look and how he obviously likes you, you can’t relax. A million things are going through your mind:
“What am I doing? Am I crazy? Shut up. Stop freaking out. You’re just hanging out. Oh god what if he pushes me away and then I can’t go to class eve again? I’ll fail out of school! Ok, chill. If nothing else, you can just pretend you blacked out. Stop being crazy. OMG I need to poop.”
You pound a few more drinks the moment you step into the bar. Your friend spots him across the room. And he’s wearing a button down. Mmmm.
“Go get him,” she says.
You take a deep breath and go. Then stop. Your friends shove you. You grab one of their beers, chug it and go. The time has come to make your move.
Yeah, we’ve all been there.
There’s nothing like a night of drinking to get a college relationship started.

./sigh, yup, guys feel the same way too.
I encourage any of you ladies to definitely try for the gold. What is, realistically, the worst that could happen? Rejection. A word many of us guys are way too familiar with. It stings for a bit, maybe days at the most, but then you get over it. On the flip-side, you get the opportunity for something golden!

This is definitely me right now. There's a guy in my Psych. class and we're in the same group, so we've been getting together to study. Last night him and I went off and were chatting and ahh. He's so perfect, I just wish I had the guts to say something.

That's pretty much how my last 2 relationships started. The most recent has lasted for a year and a half.

Wespie is not speaking for all guys. I can't imagine being so neurotic, or having to deal with a buddy that went through such a belabored process. That said, it is genuinely cute how crazy yall are, and this was pretty darn funny. Nice article Lauren.

I love this!! There's this hot guy in my class I've chatted with a couple times, but I always come in late from my last class so I never find a seat next to him. But how can I find a way to talk to him more?? Ahhhh

What a bunch of fucking bullshit. If the guy likes you, he will make an effort to proceed things further. If he doesn't, shut the fuck up and get out of his way you fucking stalker. Disgusting.

LOL@Sabrina..
I wouldn't put it in that way but I agree with the basic sentiment.
If a guy likes you he'll probably beat you to the punch. Things can be a little awkward though because even if you like somebody you have no idea how its going to work out.
The last thing you want to do is mess up a good thing in pursuit of a better thing.

Way to remind us all why we keep coming back every day. This is the best (and most well written) article that has been on college candy in a seriously long time.

If any guy makes you feel that good every time you are around him, you don't need a drink to let him know. He already knows. He's probably just more shy than you are.
I think its okay to make the first move at times like that. You just might have found one of the good ones.

Don't think you're special ladies, guys go through the exact same thing. Just one side as to "man up" and make the first move.

Totally how my current relationship started. I did wait for him to finally make a move though – it took about three months. Mind you that meant we were already very good friends when we finally hooked up! Almost three years now.

You really make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I in finding this matter to be actually something that I believe I’d by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very huge for me. I am having a look ahead on your next post, I will attempt to get the hang of it!
