How Should I Deal With My Crush? Please Help?

Alrite... so I like this guy and he's a year older than me. Yesterday I asked him to be my Grade 8 Bestiee and he was like, Yeah, I already consider you a friend.





Then I was like, what high school are you going to?





He replied, ******** (blanked out so yuh dunno where I am)





He said are yuh going there too?





And I was like Yeahh





He was like Oh That's Good ;)





Then before I left, I asked him if he liked this girl (which was a rumor that I heard from someone)





He was like NO I just like her as a friend.








So here's my question(s):





1) Do you think he likes me?





2) If so, what can I do to get to know him better?





Thanks in advance!





P.S. He also looks at me when he passes in the halls and now we talk a lot and he smiles at me. Once before I caught him staring at my butt... but then I looked at his face and he smiled at me. Also, he protected me from these mean people who were hitting me on the head ;) He wahz like, NO YOU CANT HIT HER.





Please Help?





Honest Answers Only Please...





Kay Well today I was just talking to him on MSN and I asked him who he liked and he said, No one ;)





And Yesterday, we were both at Track And Field and he kept congratulating me for winning coz I'm going to the conference finals and he's going too so maybe the conferences will be my chance to talk to him more?How Should I Deal With My Crush? Please Help?
He likes you. It sounds like you're in a pretty good spot right now so you dont have to worry about anything. It was so sweet of him to save u from those mean guys. hehe. HES PERFECT FOR YOU!





He said ';no one.'; becuz hes shy to say that he likes u.


That exact thing happened to me but the guy(lets call him bobby.) asked me out the next day! lol, good luck with ur love!
