How can you tell that a classmate actually wants to be your friend?

How can you tell if a classmate genuinely wants to be your friend?

Throughout my college experience, I’ve noticed that people rarely approach me first. I tend to keep to myself, and I probably come across as unfriendly because of it. However, there’s one classmate who has been consistently friendly towards me.

He often initiates our conversations, greets me first, and even says goodbye when he leaves. To top it off, he was the first to connect with me on LinkedIn! While he does seem like a laid-back guy, I can’t help but wonder if I’m just overthinking things. Regardless, it’s nice to have someone (especially a guy) reach out to me for a change. Maybe I’ll just take my time and see how things develop as the semester progresses.

  1. It sounds like you’re encountering a genuine connection! The signs you’re mentioning—him greeting you, initiating conversations, saying goodbye, and even reaching out on LinkedIn—are all positive indicators that he’s interested in being friends. While it’s easy to overthink things, his actions suggest that he values your interaction.

    Sometimes, being open and responsive can help deepen the friendship. If you feel comfortable, consider extending the conversations or even suggesting hanging out outside of class. Friendships often grow from these small interactions, so feel free to take it at your own pace! It’s great that you’re feeling appreciated, and it sounds like this could be the start of a rewarding friendship.
