He's a catch, and it's no secret. This is the guy every girl wants for a friend or a BF. So be sure you are comfortable with his friendly and, yes, sometimes flirty ways. His signals How can you know for sure if he's flirting or really sending a vibe? If he seeks you out to show off his wit, that's a good sign.

If he calls you by a flattering flat·ter 1 v. flat·tered, flat·ter·ing, flat·ters v.tr. 1. To compliment excessively and often insincerely, especially in order to win favor. 2. nickname, you could just be one of the girls he likes to talk to. Understand?

He knows what works for him and what doesn't (he thinks Jessica Simpson is hot but her music is lame). He does what he wants and seems to really get off on his own thing. And that's cool. Unusual is the name of the game. That doesn't mean you have to don bold outfits so much as you need to express charged ideas. Be the individual you are. Have an opinion, and express it.

Since he's smart, your best bet is an academic in. The idea of a tutor might seem ridiculous because your grades are fine, but this guy ought to know that super-achieving students always seek help to ensure good grades. You don't even have to have a class together. Pick a subject he excels in, and ask for a tutorial. Look great but not overdone o·ver·done v. Past participle of overdo. Adj. 1. overdone - represented as greater than is true or reasonable; "an exaggerated opinion of oneself" exaggerated, overstated .

Feel like he'd block you out if you were to approach him? Maybe not. Make him yours Don't go up to him with two buds at your side or invite him to a full crowd scene. He's got his deal, so respect it. Approach him confidently and, frankly, invade his space for a minute. A polite "sorry to bother you while you're reading" will be enough to sit for a sec and get his vibe. If he speaks softly, lower your volume. Of course, if he's putting off a "get away from me" beat, tell him you just wanted to say "hey," then bail. If you're brave, try another day and another. Keep your Mystery Man visits short and sweet.
