I like this guy but...?

I became friends with this guy at school. He gave me his number, so I called him one day to hangout. I think he thought I invited him out as a booty call. He was flirting with me, but I made it clear that I wanted to get to know him and be his friend. I don't know what to do because he's very nice, friendly and charming, but knowing that he's been with other girls at our college grosses me out.

I have a crush on him, but I didn't want to tell him that or the fact that I'm physically attracted to him. I don't know who to talk to because my friends think he's a jerk (due to booty call incident). It sucks because he's always on my mind throughout the day, I want to talk to him, and I miss him. I look forward to seeing him during school but most times, I don't see him unless it's afterschool at the gym or the library.

HELP! I don't know what to do or why I'm feeling this way about someone I barely know.

Hmm...Well, him being a jerk may be true.
But, if not (let's be optimistic) you should invite him again to hang out as friends, maybe with a few of your friends (if they'll agree). I find it's always easier to "break the ice" if you're in a group, it's a lot less intimidating than a one-on-one situation. Just start out as friends, the first time you hang out. Use that chance to observe, and see if you are actually interested in him. If so, then wait a while and then hang out with him again. Then, start the flirting stage. But I would advise against flirting a lot until you get the chance to see whether or not he is a jerk, and whether or not it's something purely hormone-driven. But, if if turns out you are interested in him as a person, then go for it!!

Good Luck!

omg i kinda feel the same way bout this guy i kno too so i feel you :P the truth is that if you do not really know him and even ur frnds think hes a jerk....well i cnt tell u not to like him bc i kno its hard...just spend more time with him...maybe become rlly close and hey tell ur frnds if they r good frnds theyll support u :)

well, he sounds like an ***. u probably don't really like him, but ur just infatuated with him. he probably just has a nice trait that really stands out or is different in some way, so he catches ur eye.
or maybe he is a nice guy and he was just weird that day for some reason.

Pls difference out love & like cause most of the people mix them up. Get to know the guy better then only u make your decision, can he be your another half.

Well if you told him you want to be just friends you kind of screwed up. You should have said something along the lines of "I want to get to know you". Call him and have a few conversations with him (of course if you call him once or twice and he never calls you, you shouldn't keep calling) see how you feel after that.

Follow your heart and your gut instinct. Tell him how you feel and he just might straighten up for you. Don't let a booty call incident get in the way of everything. Your friends are probably being over protective of your feelings. Ask around though, they might know some more things about him that you don't.
