i'm 15 and so is he. so whenever i'm in history class, he keeps on asking me how the tests went for me.. but then when we get them back he brags that he got A's. And then on the street, he randomly called out my name, when I never gave it to him and his friends don't know me. What does he want from me? if he likes me, then why does he keep on bragging?? it's so annoying.. maybe i'm just jumping to conclusions.. maybe he doesn't like me? what does it seem like?

my friend says he's not shy at all.. so if he liked me.. wouldn't he have already asked me out?

It sounds like he likes you. He probably did a little research to find out what your name is. Also, he probably only brags about his high test scores because he thinks you'll be impressed by his intelligence.
You should be a little flattered that he's gone to some trouble to learn about you. Try not to let the bragging get to you, he probably means well. If it's bothering you because you're not doing as well on your tests, maybe he can help you study?...... Just a suggestion
Good luck!

People say they 'find' love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love.
Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.
Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.

The boy probably knows your name by asking other people what your name is.
The reason he brags about his good grades is because he likes you and wants you to be proud of him.
He is probably afraid to ask you to be his girlfriend or to go out with him
When he calls out your name while he is hanging out with his friends, is because he wants them to think that you two are friends. He is proud of you and is showing off to his friends.
Try talking to him, but not in front of his friends or your friends. Ask him to eat lunch with you and sit by yourselves, if you can. Or, invite him over to your home or a restaurant. Then, discuss to him that his actions are making you uncomfortable and that you wish for him to stop. If you want to go out with this guy, (or not) let him know this also.
Be as polite as possible. Guys your age have self-esteem problems when it comes to girls. They are afraid to talk to girls they really like, fearing rejection and ridicule. Some will avoid you altogether, where others may annoy you to no end. This is typical behavior, like when the boy pulls the girls ponytails in 1st grade. They aren't trying to be mean, they just like you.
If, after you try discussing the situation with this boy, and he still bothers you, take it up with the school counselor or a teacher or principle.
Best of luck!

He's 15 and doesn't know how to express himself. He may
have a crush on you - or he may be an obnoxious little dweeb.
Or both!
In any case, if you are interested, you can try to do something
to spend more time with him and maybe he'll relax and stop
being such an idiot and spend more worthwhile attention on you.
As was said in Hitch: For those of you who didn't go through
High School: Hitting is a good thing.
Beat me, bore me, but don't ignore me.

Here's the thing you are missing... females mature a lot faster than males... what seems immature to you... the bragging... may seem differently to him... he probally likes you and the history test is his way of starting up conversation.... his bragging is also his way of saying... hey look at me im not as dumb as i put myself out there to be... try telling him your name and saying a friendly hello to him in the hall way... see what happens... if he is not cute and you don't like him.... don't even worry about if he likes you or not he doesn't even know you name...

There are two ways to go with this and I am going to go with my first instinct here.
I would use caution. Sounds to me like he is not trust worthy. His knowing your name and all sounds like he may be setting you up for something you do not want any part of. I would, if I were you, go to whomever you have at the school and present what is going on and tell them that you are concerned about him doing what he is doing. A little caution is worth more then getting yourself into a situation that may cause more harm then good.
Do not take this lightly. If none of his friends know you and you know none of them, let that little red flag that is waving tell you something is wrong. Take this matter up with who is ever available, even if it is the principal. Do not let it go any further.

I believe this follows in the same guidelines as when little boys hit little girls on the arms and vice versa. He's immature and doesn't know how to express his interests for you so he trys to show off thinking that will get him noticed. Start showing an interest in him and see if he responds, if anything that may shut him up!

He might be bragging to show that he is worthy of your attention. Say something nice to him and smile; I bet he'll smile back and say something nice too!
Maybe he's not all bad; he does get all A's!

Maybe, he found it out tryin to get to know you. He probably braggs b/c he wants you thinks he smart or just want some attention from you. Seems as if he's wanting some attention.
