>>2 Eh? I don't get it.

Hi OP, a girl here. I just read a short excerpt from "He's Just Not That Into You"-- if he's not asking you out, then all the little moves are just him leading you on.

If he likes you, he'll let you know, right? If he likes you but won't ask you out, that's his problem.
I met a guy like that. ALL DAMN SEMESTER he would stare at me in class, kind of freaky, and my friends thought it was completely WTF. Anyways, it did make me notice him, and he's hot. How hot, you ask, well, he's on the water polo team. There.
So one day he asked to borrow a pencil, which was simple enough, but after that he never talked to me. Almost 2 months later (still staring) he comes and sits down right next to me, but STILL didn't talk to me. Usually he sits either sort of behind me or 4 seats to the left in the same row. SO, last day of class, after the final I'm thinking if I should stick around and maybe talk to him-- luckily I get a call from someone and ASK, and she smartly replies: "then he'll know you like him. No leverage. Leave. Let's go." And I end up dating someone awesome and respectful and fun.
