There is a guy at my school that I don't know that well. He just came to the US last year, and I talked to him maybe once then. I helped him on an assignment that he didn't understand.
I don't have any classes with him this year, but I see him the the passing period between first and second. I'm very careful to time everything just right so that I get a glimpse of him. But the moment he comes into view, I duck my head down and sonic my way past him.
On December 12, I brought a camera to school so that I could get a picture of him to draw a piece for art from it. However, I could not bring myself to take it. So, I had to drag in one of my friends to take the picture for me. SO, I got the picture and worked on drawing a portrait from it that night. I wanted to get it at least eighty percent finished by the next day so that I would have time enough to ask about my progress before the mayhem of finals.
Once again, I was unable to apporach him and regretfully had to drag my friend in again. She showed him the portrait and all that. And...that was that...
So, on the weekend, I worked on finishing the piece and making a smaller version of it for the guy to keep. I didn't think it was very fair of me to take a pic and leave. I made some sketches and scrapped some...and ruined some^^;
On Sunday, I composed a note trying my damndest to sound sincere and not-stupid. And I was really flustered.
The very first day of finals(December 16), I decided to give the guy that I liked the note in person. I can't hide behind my friends forever, right?
I couldn't do it^_^;
So, one of my good friends shoved me into it.
I handed him the note and picture and ran.
The next day, after much fretting(on my part), he pulled me aside in the library to talk.
He said a few things that perplex me:
1. thank you for the note and picture
2. you got my hair a little wrong (he was right)
3. we don't know each other well
4. don't look down anymore ('cause I duck when I see him)
5. friends? (and we shook hands)

the last part is what got me. I was really happy for a while until about now...about a week or so after all that. I gave him my e-mail address and another note...but he hasn't done anything to keep up any form of communication with me.
I wonder if I took what he said the wrong way or what.
Did I freak him out? Do I come off as a weirdo? Does he hate me?
I'm a little worried, honestly.
what do you guys think? I appreciate any opinions you may offer me.

when someone likes another individual, they tend to do weird things. and in your example, youre too shy to approach him or even talk to him.
if you like him, you should be more open towards him and at least talk to him and make eye contact.
good luck

if someone drew me. and i had no idea of who she was.. honestly i'd pretty much be weirded out by it.. i think i would also be flattered. but lemme ask you a question. how much do you know him?

hm..do guys write to other people through emails often?
i dunno of any guy who does..
and maybe he didn't have time to use a computer..there are many possibilities..
and since you got the hardest part [in my opinion] of a friendship out of the way..which is the first "real" conversation/introduction..it might be easier for you to start talking to him next time. and don't duck when you see him, when you pass by, make eye contact, wave and say hi. just that, breaks the ice. and the next time you guys get to talk, you'll probably be a little less timid when talking to him.
