unlucky

I have never had a boyfriend and I am 18 years old. I'm fine with that but I really want one.  I just started college a month ago with the mindset of "books before boys." I stuck with that but fell into a crush that I'm still trying to dig myself out of. He has walked me back to our residence hall twice, first time I asked him to second time he just tagged along.  We talked and he is always interested in what I have to say, he is cute funny, super sweet, and smart.  We are both architecture majors and compliment each other's projects.  We see and talk to eachother everyday and I really started to think that he liked me too. I had found the perfect guy, until my friend told me that he said he wad gay.  Honey he doesn't seem like he would be gay, so I still have a huge crush on him despite what I have heard.  I also still think he likes me too, and that there was a misunderstanding.  Maybe he isn't gay and my friend thought she heard that. I need to get out of this stupid crush but I can't. I'm always unlucky with boys and love. I'm hopeless
