Ever considered the chance that he's gay?
Every story I've ever heard about guys hanging out with girls in college alone getting along well and everything...almost always....sex is involved.
I mean...
He's trying to build up your self esteem?
he's in theater?
I mean....I dated this boy for a while...and we got along great. we'd hang out and have a blast every single time...
But he never seemed interested in taking the next step. Which was perfectly fine.
HE was in theater.
and he loved to just sit around and talk...
a year after we broke up, he told me that he was gay.
he is a huge flamer now.
we are really good friends still but his homosexuality explained a heck of a lot.

I'm not saying this guy you speak of IS gay....but I would just do some research or ask around about past girlfriends/hookups or what have you...
Just something to consider.
I hope it works out!

I don't see the problem. Why don't you ask him out? You's seem perfect for each other.

He sounds like a really sweet, gay guy. I hope you can get over your crush on him and have a great friendship. He can help you learn a LOT about the inner workings of the male brain.

He sounds gay to me, too.

Deff gay. Sorry girl.

there's a possibility that hes gay, but there's a possibility he just lyks u & is being nice. you could ask him what girls on campus do he lyk, so he could admit that hes gay or ask you out

He might be gay.
But if he isn't then don't try to push things into a relationship.
School JUST started. This is also your first year. Take a look around.
You're single so take advantage of all the perks that come with that.

just because a guy is in theatre doesn't mean he's gay. Go for him! :)

Hannah B ^^ is right just because he's in the theater does NOT mean he's gay. Srsy how many famous very STRAIT guy actors are there? And I know lots of guys that are into acting, heck, that are into Make up that are totally totally strait.
that said...
The same thing happened to me once only it was the other way around. My problem was I honestly didn't want to date a guy with low self esteem that I didn't know very well.
It could be lots of other things too. he might be interested in someone else, he could want to go slow, he could be a virgin, he could be totally unattracted to you, he could think you're un-attracted to him.
Or maybe he's religious or something and because you don't have the same beliefs....
Ok that last one's not so likely but ask around and see what people say. Don't assume anything.

I would ask him if he's got a girlfriend.

he's gay--ask him if he has a BOYFRIEND

Talk to him, I'm a first years aswell, and I met a guy who does salsa dance, we sit and talk for hours, sometimes all night, we watch movies, and love to look at art, and he's far from homosexual. Just because a guy likes certain things does not mean he should be steriotyped into that image. He might not be interested in a relationship, alot of people want to simply have fun and get an education, they don't want to be worrying about trying to hold up a relationship too. If you don't feel talking to him will work, give yourself some time, even a month, hang out with him, give little hints and see if he picks up. If not, then maybe it's best to just stay good friends, you never know, a year down the road he might be more interested in finding someone, and if you remain a good friend, you'll be close to him at that time.
Good luck!

some guys jus wanna be limited to frenship he may have a secret girlfriend...don think he is a gay so fast...if he is...it will be revealed sooner or later....so jus wait for it....n continur being a loyal friend...coz its d strongest relationship.......

he could be gay but dont push him or ask. it really isnt anyones business. just focus on you class and as a freshman, you dont want a bf. go out and experience being free. if he isnt gay and likes you, he will come around. but there is no use in rushing things

I love how everyone is so quick to judge his sexuality. I've had a best guy friend since my freshman year of highschool and we've never dated nor talked about dating. We have so much in common and for 2 years of high school, his family was convinced we were dating but wouldn't tell anyone. But we were just friends. We've only been just friends, and we both are in great relationships with other people. Give it all time. My boyfriend and i hungout and did things starting out as friends for 3 months. Patience is key.

I LOVE how everyone assumes that just because this guy is in theater, he's automaticly gay. Don't push it, hang out w/ him a little more and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, then it wasn't meant to be.

There are a few options:

1.) Taking it slow and keeping it private. Maybe he had drama in the past or wants something serious and that's why he didn't tell your friend it was you.
2.) Other girlfriend
3.) Gay--I SERIOUSLY doubt this one.
4.) He's just not that into you.

I really don't get the gay thing. Maybe he is just romantically shy even if he is confident in other ways!

I think he's gay too, NOT because he is in theater, I am not that narrow minded and I have a brain larger than a peanut, but simply because he has not come on to you the way you made it sound, unless he is just that nice of a guy that he does not want to move things too fast, or he does not know how you feel about him and everyone hates rejection.

But I say casually ask him if he has a girlfriend, or has he dated anyone at the school. If he says no to the other one then ask why not. If he says yes to the second one, than ask who. Unless the names are all unisex like Taylor or Alex, then you are kind of stuck wondering that, if he is gay or not.

But if you are with a guy alone, watching a movie, and he didn't even playfully put his arm around you, than that means he is not into you 1) because he is gay 2) he is just not that into you. I say move on because there are so many more fish in the sea who will put all the moves on you the way you want to.
