Dear Miss Emily:

So I'm gay, and l like this guy. I didn't tell him I liked him, but I told my friends -- so now I catch him looking at me everytime I come within looking range. I dont know if he is gay, like me, or bi, but he never smiles, and he is kinda anti-social to a certain extent. We see each other, everyday, because of our schedules, and we know where each other is going to be at a certain time. Should I approach him and make convo -- or would that be weird. He is pretty masculine, and I don't want to be embarrassed if I'm rejected, but I do want to tell him how I feel about him. I really just want to get to know him too!!! Im 16 btw and he is a senior.

--------------------Miss Emily's advice--------------

If you think your friends told him about your feelings for him, and he only looks at you, but never smiles and is anti-social -- I would say any hopes of a relationship are dead in the water. Even if he were gay, or bi, his behavior is certainly not "come hither." I'd let this go. His glances may not mean what you hope them to be. Of course, you can't know for sure, but he got the heads-up on how you feel about him and, now, the ball's in his court and his to lobe back if he chooses.
