I don't understand him!
Basically, I am at university and have been living in halls of residence for 2 months now. There is a guy who lives in my flat who is quite reserved. Not in a rude way, he just has very little self-confidence and shy. But he has opened up a bit now and he is sarcastically funny and really friendly. He doesn't drink at all, but he comes on the odd night out but constantly uses his phone as a confort zone as obviously he isn't drunk. But recently I feel that he and I have become more close. We went for a walk up to a bridge the other night so he can take pictures, and he was protective of me when a guy walked past and I was stood on my own in the dark. And when we got back to the flat we sat and chatted until 4am and he proper opened up to me. I'm probably the person he's opened up to most in the flat, as the others are fun people, but never really serious and he doesn't get along with another flatmate as she talks bull a lot.
I've realised that over time I have developed quite strong feelings for him. I haven't told him this, but he has told me before about a girl back home that he has had a crush on for 2 1/2 years. She doesn't feel the same but I get the impression she knows he's always there as a back up, and to be honest she treats him rubbish, causing arguments over pety things. He has admitted if he found someone else he would probably get over her, but because of his low self-esteem he never knows how to flirt or make a move on a girl. I really really like him and I'm beginning to feel awkward when I'm around him because I like him so much. When I've been drinking I often send him flirty texts, but subtle.. not too in your face. But now things feel a bit awkward between us and it's sometimes hard to make a conversation. I don't know if he feels the same and doesn't know what to do/whether he's embarassed about confiding in me/or whether he's just tired and stressed about work in general. We have a lot in common as we're both sarcastic and often say the same thing at the same time, and he's very good looking without realising, very talented at a lot of things, and genuinely a nice guy.
Sorry for the essay, but I'm stuck! Advice would be deeply appreciated! xx
