Useless Advice!!! ISSUE 27

Wanna know how to tell if a guy has a crush on you or not? Well, that's too bad because a guy has never liked me before (at least to my knowledge)...
High School Crushes
Note before you read
Keep in mind that you can never determine how a person's heart works by just one factor (he could be leading you on). He needs to commit a combination of actions before his agenda is revealed. So if you find any of the following to be oddly familiar, don't flatter yourself too much. But if most of these traits appear in a certain someone, you may want to question his feelings for you. Just a thought (I'm not responsible for broken hearts). Feel free to amend.
1) He changes. The number one characteristic of "love" (97.4% of high school relationship aren't based on true love and 95.3% of all statistics are made up.) is that it will change a person's personality. If he usually smokes and you mention to him that you don't like smokers, he will quit. If you mention to him that you absolutely love DDR, the next month he would be scoring A's across the board (even if he never played prior to meeting you). However, to notice these changes, you have to have known the person before you met him. Which is nearly impossible.
2) He does something for you that takes more than 30 minutes of work. This one's based on the fact that most guys are selfish, lazy bums. If you find yourself being tutored by a guy, chances are that he likes you. Doing a favor is one thing. But helping you with your math exam every week for an entire semester is another thing. Ever notice that it is always a guy tutoring a girl? I have yet to see a guy tutoring another guy (unless he's his best friend/close friend). I'm not saying that just because a guy tutors a girl means that he likes her. Maybe he just likes tutoring and helping others. However, it should make you wonder why someone would be spending his time with you doing something that is school-related rather than hanging out somewhere and having fun.
3) He talks about you a lot. How would you know? Find out from his friends. Just hope that it's not anything bad. But then again, you'll never know because his friends won't tell you the bad things he said about you. Us guys have an unspoken pact like that. We never ruin another friend's chances at dating girl unless it is out of necessity. Why? Because we wouldn't want our chances to be compromised. Also, if one of his friends tells you about how bad the other person is, he is probably the one who likes you. Either that or he is a senseless jerk (which accounts for more than 90% of the male population).
4) He stares at you. Guys love staring. They don't love approaching girls, but they love staring. If you catch him staring at you more than several times within the same time frame, then he likes the way you look. And since most high school guys are pigs and "whore moan"-driven, their crushes are based on the appearance first and personality next. It's a safe bet that he's interested in you.
5) He knows your name before you know his. Do you sometimes wonder why he already knows so much about you even before you introduce yourself to him? There can only be five reasons why he would know this.
a) He has asked about you. I wonder why he would do something like that...
b) You're popular. Lucky you.
c) He overheard your conversations. Which is a good sign that you talk too loud.
d) He overheard your friend's conversations. Which is a good sign that your friends talk too loud.
e) Someone has told him about you. This is almost the same as possibility 'b'; but if you're not popular, it doesn't stop people from talking about you.
The ironic part in all this is that you'll never know how he found out so much about you. My bet is that he's a stalker! Watch your back!
In addition to signs that he likes you, there are also signs that he doesn't like you. For example, he doesn't say bye to you when he leaves. I would want to say that this only applies if you two had a conversation to begin with. But if you two didn't have a conversation then it wouldn't even matter because he would have talked you if he liked you. Of course there's always the exception that you two don't know each other well enough to talk to each other or the guy is too shy to approach you.
Also bear in mind that the opposite is not true. If he does say bye to you, it doesn't necessarily mean that he likes you. Even if he says bye to you and to no one else, it still doesn't mean that he likes you.
