Very scared now.

There's a lad who I work with called Jugjit. And he's a really nice bloke, and into gaming and stuff, but just recently he's been slightly too eagar. And today he came into the library (on his day off) for apparently no other reason than to hand me over this little box thing that just said 'Open me!'.

So I opened it. And inside was this date (as in the fruit) sat on this little cushion of tissue paper. The inside of the box said 'Enjoy this date. Then enjoy a real one at...blah blah blah...the UK's most fun dating site.'

And now I dunno whether he's being forthright and showing interest, or whether he just thought it was funny, cause he disappeared really quickly after I opened the box (which leads me to think that it wasn't just something he thought was funny...unless, of course, he was just in a rush to get somewhere). He knows I'm engaged as well.

And then immediately after that, this lad came up to the desk. And he's also really quite eager. He's remembered my name from when I once casually mentioned it to him several months ago. He started commenting on the fact that I must spend all my time in the library, and that I should go out and have fun, and do I ever go out to clubs...blah blah blah. Having skillfully navigated round the questions in a professional yet friendly manner, I realised that he'd come to the desk to pick up Ed's thesis. Which is cool :) But I happened to mention that Ed was my friend and that started him up again with the personal questions and stuff.

So my questions are:
1. How do you tell when a boy likes you?
2. How do you tell him you're not interested without making him cry or get really awkward around you?
