why doesnt he ask me out?

Question

i was standing by the locker by myself, Eric and his friends were near my locker.. his friends were leaving (from around my locker to go to the caff) and he turned around and stood right beside me (my locker was closed and i was waiting for my friend to meet me there) and i was standing there beside him too. his friends were not there and it was pretty obvious that he stood there cause i was there.. so anyways we stood there for a good 5 or 10 minutes not saying ANYTHING!! it was silence.. i turned around and looked at him and he just stood straight and was staring into space.. i was gonna talk to him but all i was thinking was.. well he doesnt look like hes ready for me to talk to him cause hes just staring ahead...
thing i dont get is though, is the fact that he left his friends to stand there beside me and said NOTHING!!... i was waiting for him to say something.. but he didnt.. so my friend came and i left him.. and he was still standing there by himself.. and i turned around and

and he was still staring into space..

do you think he ment to say something to me.. or he expected me to say something... after all of that accouple of weeks later he would just always look at me (he always did but like almost like he expected me to follow him and talk to him).. why couldnt he just ask me out?

we had that moment.. i dont get it..
and now i harldy see him anymore and all i can think about is how mean i was to just leave him there by himself... by the locker.. i wonder what he was thinking.. he would of never done that to me..!! i want to tell him that i like him but i dont know how?.... what should i do? i havent seen him in MONTHS! (cause i dont go to that school anymore).. and i want to tell him... would that be awkward? what do you think he was thinking at that time?

Answer 1

He is scared...mostly that you would say no...or worse make a big deal about it.

After all...you did just stand there...that sure does not give him a sign that you like him at all...
