“Okay boys (or girls honestly) can you tell me if I'm just imagining things or not? So I'm a 7th grade girl, and I tried out for a state singing thing (I got in along with some 6th graders & two 8th graders). The boy that made it in 8th grade is in my LA class (we're in 9th grade LA), but I hadn't talked to him like at all before. I feel like just after five weeks of having after school rehearsals we are friends now (and I'm going to clarify that it's a great friendship), but I feel like I'm tripping because I feel like he's dropping hints that he likes me. Here's why...
• So I feel like he is touchy, not uncomfortably like it's totally fine just hand on the shoulder (like what you do when you are shocked at what someone said), nudging me to tell me something, and tapping me on the back. Sometimes when he is sitting behind me (the chairs are elevated in the back bc it's choir) he rests his feet on the back of my chair and/or nudges me. He also pokes my side a lot.
• Last week, he grabbed my hand (gently don't worry), and I was confused, so he said "Roll your sleeve up," and so I did, and he out his arm by mine than said "You're really pale!" (Not rude just joking yk) Idk I just feel like it was random.
• One day, he reached out and grabbed my glasses (which has now happened twice), and put them on himself, before laughing, then trying to walk, and accidentally falling. The other 8th grader laughed and tried to help him up (he kinda ignored her ngl). I (honestly laughing to bc he was) grabbed my glasses back, put them on myself, then grabbed his hand (which was up in the air) to help him up, which he let me.
• Everytime (or most) I see him in the hallway, he goes out of his way to talk to me. Today I was walking from the lost and found back to my class, and his class was doing a project in the hallway. He went slightly away from the group to talk to me, and we talked for almost a minute before I had to leave.
• I sing in a small group and we go places to sing, and yesterday we were outside while our director was parking the van, and it was windy, so my hair was blowing in the wind, and so I said "No, my hair!" And one of the 8th grade girls (they're so kind btw) fixed it for me, but then it got messed up again. The boy said "I can braid it for you." Then genuinely attempted to.
• At our choir concert, he directly told me "I don't know what it is, but your hair looks really pretty."
• Today after school we had a two hour rehearsal and when we weren't singing he was with me. While he was sitting behind me he had his feet on my chair (like I said), and he nudged me with it. I jokingly said "You ruined my beautiful hair!" And he said "Your hair IS beautiful."
Idk maybe I'm delusional, but could you help me?”
