So he knows?If you're not ready to take the next step with a guy that knows you like him, you probably want to stay out of his way.Cut back on most of your contact with him, both online and in person.If you can't ignore him, avoid common areas that you normally see him in.It is not a permanent fix to avoid a person.While you figure out how to approach the situation, it will only buy you time.
Step 1: You can change your schedule.
It's a good idea to avoid certain areas because he'll be there at certain times.If you find yourself bumping into him on a daily basis, try walking a different way to class or somewhere else.Change the time you go to drop off and pick up books if you see him at your locker.
Step 2: You can change seats.
Try sitting in the back if he is in your class.If you eat lunch at a table he sits at, try sitting with a different group of friends.Changing where you sit every day is a good way to meet new people while avoiding the boy.
Step 3: He shouldn't hang out with his friends.
People that he hangs out with are the easiest to avoid.You should think about who he will be with on certain days.If you have multiple friend groups, you can sort out your feelings between the ones that aren't friends with him.If you're trying to avoid him, confide in the person that you hang out with.If they're hanging out with him, they can tell you where he is.
Step 4: It's a good idea to avoid online contact.
It's just as important to avoid him online as it is in person.Don't respond to posts he makes or read messages from him.While still being friends, you can hide his updates from your Facebook feed.Out of sight, out of mind!
Step 5: Stay away from calls or texts.
Keep your messages short and to the point if he calls or texts you.If he texts you and asks what you're doing, just tell him not much and don't ask what he's up to.If you're just trying to avoid him for a while, you don't want to give him signals that you dislike him.You don't want to carry on a long conversation that will make you awkward.
Step 6: Pick up a new hobby.
Pick up a new hobby if the situation is serious and you can't stop thinking about him.You can give yourself a distraction to keep from thinking about him if you put yourself in a situation where you'll see him.Do something that will take your concentration to the next level.You can identify plants or insects outdoors.
Step 7: Don't eye contact.
Ignore him if you can't avoid him.Don't look at him when he's looking at you if you sit across the room from him in class.You don't want to run away if he is talking to you directly.Don't be mean and play it cool.
Step 8: Don't laugh or smile at him.
If he makes a funny joke, don't laugh at it.You like him, so you want to smile, but be careful.You don't want to make it obvious and not pay attention to yourself.
Step 9: Walk fast.
Make the exposure time minimal if you can't avoid it.You can remove any chance for an awkward conversation by smiling at him.You can pretend to be late if you are on your way to class.Walk faster if you keep your head down.
Step 10: To make yourself look unavailable, use body language.
If you can't walk away from the situation, use your body language to distract him.Give him signs that you are not interested in starting a conversation if he approaches you at the bus stop.You should keep your arms crossed.If you can, turn your back.If it's silly, such as rearranging some papers, you should stay busy with the task.
Step 11: You should sort out your feelings.
He isn't going to suddenly disappear, so you need to consider ways to resolve the situation.What do you think about him?What do you want your relationship to look like?Think about what you want out of a relationship, whether it is friendship or something more.
Step 12: You should play it cool.
He is unavoidable and hard to ignore if it is someone you know well.Take a deep breath and stretch out if you find yourself getting worked up over seeing him.It is just a matter of time.
Step 13: Be patient.
It might take a long time to work out the situation.If you confess your feelings openly, he might feel the same way.It could be that he doesn't feel the same way.Either way, you both want to be friends and take it easy.
