Ask Evie: I'm Getting Mixed Signals From A Guy Who I Thought Liked Me. What Do I Do?

READER’S QUESTION: “Hi! I’m in college and I made friends with a guy who seemed super sweet at first (and he seemed sort of into me), so I asked him casually if he wanted to hang out and go to the movies, so we could become more friendly as I started to develop a crush on him (but didn’t want it to be a date… just a friends thing). However, I’m worried if he took it as me asking him out because when he asked which day and I said Friday, he said he couldn’t because he had to study and no to another date because of something else (both days were Friday evenings). And now I’m super embarrassed and don’t even know if I can talk to him because of this. Is it a rejection? Most people can do things on Friday nights. Did he think I was asking him out? Worse yet, I saw him with a bunch of girls hanging out with him, and he even gave one of them a hug! Now, I’m unsure if he even liked me in the first place! I have to see him soon… how can I talk to him again like normal?"
