Hey LGBTQIA+ Gaf, I'm not much of a poster here (I've been mostly lurking the past few years) but I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice.
There's this cute guy in one of my college classes, and I really want to get to know him. He's kinda semi-jocky and really smart/quirky, and I really dig that. The problem is I don't know if he's into men or not. I've never been in a relationship (I'm 21), so I'm not used to this stuff, and I'm left really confused ;_;
I've been trying to show signs that I'm "available", and I think I've seen some kind of response from him, but I don't know if that's just my lust for him making things seem what they're not. I feel like there's hesitation on both sides. Hesitation from me because I don't know his sexuality, and from him because he hasn't shown any explicit indication of interest in me. Aside from staring at me when he thinks I'm not looking, his "body language", and laughing at my jokes, there hasn't really been anything. I mean, to be honest, it might be that I haven't been as obvious with my interest as I think I'm being either. I haven't been forthcoming with my desire to hang out with him or get to know him, so maybe I'm giving mixed signals.
But how do I make it more obvious without pushing boundaries? How do I know if he's interested in me or not? Is the simplest way just asking him out for drinks and seeing his response? Or is it too early for that? Is there a window of opportunity that I have to make the first move before he gets bored or tired of waiting?
Only known the guy for two weeks, but we've already introduced ourselves to each other and are on acquaintance terms
Ask him to Netflix and chill. Let us know the results.
