How can I know he is single?

Question

I'm an Asian girl studying in Europe and I met a German guy here. He's very helpful to everybody, always smiling. I study in Italy and return home once a year. For him, every 2 months he visits his family.

I cannot find out if he's got a gf or not because I'm too shy. Whenever I see him, he is working. He has just stopped to talk to me for a few minutes if I want to ask him mathematics.

I know that I'm the only one girl in our class who care about him because he often talks and goes out for a drink with other guys I know. He's not gay of course. The problem is that he never comes to my place to talk to me. He is concentrating to earn a good degree and make money after that. I try to forget him but I couldn't. He's quite sensitive, if I don't talk to him, he notices immediately. He always makes fun of me because to him, I am strange comparing to other Western women.

I am confusing in finding the way to get out but haven't got the right answer. Any guys or gals can help me?

We are Ph.D students. I'm 26 and he's 27. I have never asked a guy out or his marriage status. He is single. I can talk to him freely about career and studying but I could not open my mouth to ask if he's got a gf. He's simple as a math guy but I'm not sure my feeling is true. He often hangs out with a guy I know but some pp are teasing me since everyday I come to his place and talk. Perhaps I express myself too much. Some pp even ask me Are you in love with him? and the only way I can do is say No of course. :(( I really like him. I have tried to get rid of him but I failed.

Answer 1

Well, are you friends with any of the guys he hangs out with? If so, ask them to see what his marital status is, see if he's with someone or not.
However, he may be focused on his career at this time so your best bet is to take everything slow. You've got to emerge from your shell or else you'll never be fully happy because if you're too shy, you never express your feelings.
Start opening up and hope for the best. Make sure you make an effort to have conversations with him and most likely he'll notice that you are spending more and more time with him.
