There is this guy that I really like, and I'm not sure if the feeling is mutual or what to do.

As background, I am a first-year college student living in a co-ed dorm. This guy(I'll just say 'A' to make it shorter) is just a few doors down from me. I usually hang out with the guys in the lounge while I just do my work or am on my computer. I just don't understand the mixed signals, because I looked up different ways of finding out if a guy likes you and the most important identifiers on the list are things that he does not do.

For example, A doesnt really ever come near me, he always maintains a distance, so that seems iffy to me. But he likes to be silly, like the other day he was making up a song and singing to me, even though when he was singing a few days ago, I got annoyed and told him to stop singing. And a group of the guys go to a movie once a week, and I placed myself in a situation where he could have asked me to come along, like he asked the other guys and I wasn't asked along. I don't know what to make of that, like he just wants to hang out with his guy friends or he just doesn't want me to come with them. And A and his friends made up a (nice) nickname for me, so I don't know what that would mean. And there are just random things that I really don't like because they're like.. so sexual in nature but I dont know if it's just to make me laugh.. like ohh i love you the babies i want to have with you... that really weirded me out. and when he was singing, he was like 'you make me wanna touch myself'.. and he knows that those things make me uncomfortable, because one of his friends said jokingly when I walked away one time, 'she's going to like report you for sexual harassment', and yet he still continues to do it.

Everytime I think that he thinks of me just as a friend, there are things that make me question it. Like A and his friends know that I'm a very serious and quiet person and I'm not loud at all or have a good sense of humor, but he has taken to catcalling whenever I pass by. I don't know what that means either, if he's just trying to make me laugh or not because I've heard him do that to other girls.

And from just a few days after we met, he would say I love youuuu a lot, and I didnt know what to make of that, whether it was a friendly thing or something more, so I just said that that was a nice thing to hear, to which he responded, 'say it back!!!'

One thing that I found kind of weird also was that one night he and his friends came back late from a bar and I definitely heard them standing near my door and saying my name several times. I tried not to go out there, but when I did, they were all being weird and catcalling and laughing and such... and some of the things really upset me. I heard A saying after a while that they should stop because they were being mean. When I went back, they were standing there and I was like 'why are you standing there.. you're making me nervous' and one of them said, we want to say good night. And I said good night and left. The next day, A was saying hi and how are you, and I said 'fine when people arent laughing at me at 3 am...' and walked away. I heard him right away telling his friend what i said, and his friend was like 'we weren't making fun of her..' I avoided them and then later that day A was saying 'don't be mad, I was just telling a joke when you came by, we wouldn't be making fun of you and i just said i'm not mad anymore and left.

Today, I had made up my mind that I was going to give up on him because of all the identifiers on those lists not being done, when he was trying to talk to me with some of his friends there... he was like 'heyyy what are you doing tonight?' and i just ignored him. He was just like 'not even a hello?' and I left. I know that I probably should have said something, but I was nervous and I just froze rather than saying something stupid.

And also, A is verrrryyyy cute and I'm not haha.. I have glasses and I'm kind of nerdy and quiet and I've never had a boyfriend or anything close to one. So that makes me doubt the positive signs even more.. Also, I'm really shy and in the past, I was bullied a lot and put down for my appearance so I'm hesitant to be too friendly in case this is a whole joke between him and his friends, like 'see how long it takes for her to like you'..

Do you think that he likes me as more than a friend? What should I do? because I really do like him... I know that those are a lot of details to read through, but I really really would appreciate any advice. Thank you!
