Is it normal to like someone you barely know?

This guy moved to my town about 3 years ago and I never really noticed him until this year when we had 5 out of 7 classes together. We ask eachother random questions here and there, but never have full conversations. I'm not sure if he's straight or not, but that's not the point. I've gotten to know him pretty well over the year, but we're not friends and I really only know a little more than the basics about him.

I'm just wondering if its normal to like this guy so much even though I barely know him. Sometimes he'll do random things that lead me to believe he might like me back, but should I be this hung up over some random guy?

    I barely know this girl Kelly Presa, but I've liked her since the first time I saw her in seventh grade right outside of Mrs. Helzings classroom. Now I'm going into junior year of high school. I see her often, but every time I do my heart breaks a little bit more.

        Yeah I know exactly how you feel. I had her as a partner in geometry one day, and my hands couldn't stop shaking. I could barely talk, so I just said short little answers.

      Well when we talk I get all nervous and dumb. But other than that, I haven't really felt comfortable enough to ask because most people would find it odd in my small school if we hung out.

    So normal... there was this guy I really liked in High School, and he is gay, I remember the first time I saw him my Junior year, I was like... stunned. I've liked him ever since. We've had a few small conversations, but I know nothing will ever come from it, though even to this day, I would love it if something would.. (It's been 3 years)

    yeah cause you only see them as "attractive person" and you don't know them, so you don't know about any of their faults or whatever.

    usually when i get to know a guy i like, i stop liking him as much....sad but true :p

    that's why ill never get in a relationship without making sure i know him really well. made that mistake once, he turned out to be a maaaajor weed and i had no idea.

    I felt that way about a girl in high school. i told her my feelings before she graduated and she left me hanging, till she came back from college and asked ME out... By then i had already moved on to a new crush but as she said, she wanted me to kiss her after our "date" (i considered it to just be two movies, one she wanted to see and one i would have rather seen).

    I still think about her, though not in that way, cause i moved on... But i still wonder, what if i gave her that kiss? She would have been my second but my point is this, the more you hold back the more they hold back. Then again, i moved on because it wasnt meant to be... Fortunately, besides one other chick i cant seem to find anyone else and it sucks but maybe its better that way.

    Go and be initiative or continue to wonder, otherwise YOU will never move on. That's closure.

    Push yourself while there is still time, it is very regretful to miss this opportunity and wish you had someday. Good luck with your choices

    I really liked a girl I barely knew, but even more bizarre was what I did know about her I found incredibly annoying.

    Sometimes people just have a way about them, a quality that is incredibly attractive, even if on paper there isn't anything exceptional, and even if you hardly know them at all. Perhaps it's the endorphins at work? Perhaps it's something else. Either way, it's very normal.
