So, here's the latest with Conor.

About 3 weeks ago, Conor started taking another bus in the afternoon. But he's still on my bus in the morning, so if I'm on in the morning, I'll see him. I think it gets him home much earlier. Plus, he doesn't have to wait for our bus, which picks up students from the girls school. So, he can just get on the bus and leave...

Anyhoo...

So I'm standing around, waiting for my bus, talking with my friend Ed. And the big fleet of busses is leaving the parking lot, and then Conor's bus goes by. And there he is, sitting by the window, and I see him...and he's looking right at me. I didn't think much of it, and I continue to talking to Ed. A few moments later, I subconsciously turn my head in the direction of the bus, and there he is again, looking right at me. I mean, he wasn't smiling, but he wasn't mad or anything. Couldn't really pick up an emotion from it. But this is the kid who avoided me and refused to even glance at me for months. I wonder what's going on in that kid's head. What do you guys think?

...Try talking to him again? Just say hello, and see if you get a response.

Maybe he is at least willing to have you as a friend, maybe even misses you in that respect. I don't know how well you got to know each other. If he still gives you the cold shoulder, well at least you're not any worse off for it. After all, you survived him ignoring you for months like you said...

Good luck!

But I think I'd try to acknowledge his look with a nod or wave or something, just to let him know you aren't shutting him out. He may be questioning. Okay, he probably IS questioning something, we just don't know what for sure! But you may as well keep your options open.

Perhaps he's considering how he dealt with the situation, initially and having second thoughts about it. I doubt it is a sexuality thing, not to discourage you, but that's the reality. He's possibly just facinated with the fact you like guys though and hence trying to observe your interactions with other guys or something... I'm not sure, it sounds like he was purely pensive, more than anything.

That was my first thought...he is having to deal with something new and out of his range of experience. He may be watching you to see how you are with other boys. Just be yourself. He may end up a friend yet Smile

Hi Tom,

The fact is that if you have a crush on someone, you can read much more into everything than may actually be there. As I remember, you opened up to him as to your feelings. Well, you can't do anymore that than. In fact, most people would not even have the courage to do this. Anyway, the ball is in his court. Be friendly and maybe there is a chance that you can be friends again. Only this way can more happen.
