doesn't mean you can't be all roundabout though :mrgreen:. drive them into a corner, see how they react. if they keep being evasive or unclear themselves, that's a sign that they are interested in you, and that they're doing the same to you already, to see how you react first (in which case it may be interpreted as passive rejection if you don't express anything).


Stressful!

The problem is when that goes on for a few months and neither person actively stops or makes a move.

I didn't know you are an IT person, Boo.

I just thought you work in an office or something, and travelled on business sometimes.

Well Boo you're the app developer. Make it happen. That actually sounds pretty cool.

Do you like me like me?


I am not that good, my experience in app development is limited to simple 2D games.

Social media is something completely different, I worked with social APIs for games before (ie. Facebook leaderboard, google achievement board...etc) but I doubt APIs would be enough to develop something like that.

Oh, but you're not mistaken - I graduated from a business school then did a Masters in MIS

and all my work experience (CRM/solution management and implementation), was always very related to IT (especially designing db for business uses) and personally always loved coding, I learned IT skills from the field and from the constant contact with pure IT specialists - so I am somewhere in the middle between the two worlds:
At work, business people see me as the IT who understands their language, and developers see me as the business guy who understands their language.
Currently I am working on a side project where business people tell me what they want, I wrote the whole software/db design and follow up with the devs on daily basis.
I am currently taking extensive programming night courses to improve this gap, my next career aim is Business analyst or somewhere in this field.

Making games on android is just a hobby.

I feel you're beginning to have the lady crowd here on WP swarming over you.

You have a good knowledge in many things.

then that means the situation is actually undefined. if you've come to the point where you're even thinking of moving someplace else just to avoid him, then i think it's a waste if you don't take the chance to do something drastic. the possibility of making a fool of yourself at this point shouldn't be a problem, right? you're already going to run away from the social circle where it would matter anyway

if you do let him know how you feel, it's very unlikely that he will respond in a positive way right away, but, if you make it clear that you don't want him to respond right away (or, even better, if you don't give him any chance to respond right away, and you make it clear that it's not an option), he might actually develop an interest in you even if he's not interested so far. you said you're good-looking and it's just that "your personality is not interesting" or something to that effect, right? so this is definitely one possible way to make yourself interesting. show clear interest, but make yourself unavailable (for real) at the same time. even if it's deliberate, it's genuine, and it reflects your personality (passionate but hesitant)

Ah, I'm sure I read that the worst thing you can say to a man is: "I like you a lot, but if you don't feel the same way you don't have to respond." That's confusing for them and a sure fire way to get no response.

I guess you're right if I'm going to move away anyway, I might as well find out if he does actually like me back otherwise that's just stupid.

Gonna do it!!

let's say you did successfully start a relationship with him (or with any other guy, for that matter). let's be realistic: you often would be confusing to him with your feelings and the way how you'd display them, wouldn't you? if you agree that you would, then i think it's perfectly appropriate to be very confusing right now
