could this guy like me?

[lorelaibunny]

Im a junior in college. I like this senior at my school. I dont know him extremely well. I started liking him a little bit last year but I didnt get to talk to him a whole lot. He sometimes sat with my group at lunch last year and thats how I met him.

 

He studied abroad last semester where Im studying abroad next semester. I told him before he left for the trip that I did want to go eventually and over the summer right before he came home to the US he sent me a message on Facebook saying "You are going next year right" and he gave me some advice on the trip. He said he would be around to answer my questions and such.

 

I saw him back at school for the first time last week and he hugged me which I was surprised at because we werent close friends at all last year. We talked about the trip and stuff. I tend to be very goofy alot and twice when I picked on him he poked me or tickled me. When we left the cafeteria I accidentally stepped into his personal space trying to get out of someones way. He asked me where I was going when we were about to part ways, I think he may have wanted me to go to his room or at least walk with him...Im not sure because when I tend to like someone I overanalyze I guess. I said next time I would go with him but I had to meet somebody.

 

I randomly imed him the other day which is not like me. He asked who is this and I told him and he didnt say much. he told me today at lunch he had a bunch of random people iming him then (he then proceeded to make fun of my guy friend who has 10 screennames who likes to im him)

Today he didnt pay any special attention to me or anything. However when we were leaving, he said some stupid comment like "nobody cares about me" and i said "i care about you" not like in a mushy way but because im nice. He then hugged me and i mean like really hugged me, held me for like 4 seconds and pressed my face into his neck. From what Ive seen hes not touchy feely with other girls but I dont know.

 

I am a friendly and talkative person but I tend to talk to him alot more than I would normally since liking him at lunch now. I try not to make it too obvious by asking him stuff about studying abroad and today I invited him and someone else to go with my friends somewhere this weekend and he said "i go home to work every single weekend in september, remember?" (he told me, but i dont remember it) Im worried I might be too obvious about liking him but Ive started to think about him alot and i really look forward to the two days of the week where he sits with us. He has a class with my rommate and my best friend so I dont want them to know.

 

Im not sure if he likes me, im more leaning towards no because I tend to be bad at recognizing when a guy is just being nice or likes me, or at least I have been in the past. I have had a decent amount of guys like me at school, Ive been told Im pretty but Ive never had any of the guys I like like me back. I cant tell if he is just really interested in me because Im going to where he went abroad or not
