Aww, ignore those assholes who really dwell you into your thoughts. I suggest that you should really confront to him online/in real life that the rumours are false, and it's really pissing you off. Ask him why he finds it awkward to talk to you and tell him that you don't like him, just to smooth out the awkward atmosphere. Damn, honestly I've never experienced something like this before, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I hope you find your patch of light somehow
Why do you even want to befriend that guy? Because he's popular? He sounds so shallow for making judgement without getting to know you. Anyway, if you still want to loosen things a bit, then use your finger first then a dildo. JK, but I support you if you really want to do it.
In all seriousness, I think you like him but it seems you're just denying it? I mean, who would make such an effort to get a friend? Why does his opinion of you matter when you're not even friends yet?
Then I think you should stop talking to him. There are a lot of other people that you can befriend, people that sometimes, exceeds the definition of "good looking" and are more friendly and to be honest, if you continue your approach, you will look like you're trying to get him to notice or like you.
There's this new student at school and he's two years older than me, my classmates say he's handsome and they were right; but he wasn't my crush and type and never will be. I added him on Facebook, and he accepted it right away. I thought it was nothing, but I chatted with him and it ended so well. Until we both agreed meeting each other in real life, after that; it became so awkward. He replied slowly to my texts, and simply stared at me in real life. He also never takes me seriously with our plans, I just wanted to befriend him. But it's like he's distancing himself from me, I wanted to clear some air with him. Because he's popular and the center of attraction, I'm having a hard time to do so. Even though we both planned to talk, he'll always look at his friend and apologize; telling me it's 'better' to talk later.
Whenever I try calling, he just gives me this smug look or a nod. I HAVE to go near him, but he told me numerous times I have to adjust to his friends. People started spreading false rumors about me to him, making him think I'm a bad person. My only main goal here is to become friends with him, not lovers. What should I do? My heart has been pounding with weary ever since that incident.
