This boy in one of my classes recently started to look at me in class a lot and whenever he made a joke he would look at me and in the halls and make direct eye contact and I thought he liked me so I asked him in the hallway (it was just us) and he was dumbfounded when I asked and was stuttering when he talked and said "oh no I didn't mean to look at you in a creepy way I'm in my own world and its not like you're not-(implying its not like I'm not an amazing person to like) but.....and I was like "oh ok" and he said "I appreciate you asking me tho, have a nice weekend" and I said you too and then as I was walking away I heard him like sigh omg or that sigh where you're like "fuck my life" lol. Does he genuinely not like me or did I catch him off guard so he denied it?
