Friend or possibly more?

I am desparately in need of some advice. I have been friends with this guy that I met in college for about a year. Because we had huge breaks between our classes he would sit next to me and we'd sometimes talk for hours, and I since then, I can't stop thinking about him. In the past six months I've found that I want him to be more than a friend. However, he works a lot of hours and so I find it difficult to see him outside of class. Once and a while, I'd casually suggest doing something, but I don't think he caught on. For example, one time we were talking about ice skating, and I said "I've never been ice skating. Maybe you could teach me." His absolutely sincere response, "Well, ice skating is someting that really can't be taught." Sheesh! :P

Sometimes he seems like he's interested in me, but sometimes he acts like he's too busy or something. We graduated in May and I finally got in contact with him and I asked him if he wanted to get something to eat,but he said he had to do something for a friend. I also told him to call me if he wasn't busy, but it's been two weeks and he hasn't called. Should I call and ask him again? Should I tell him I miss him or would that be too pushy? What's my best strategy ladies? I mean, I've never really felt this way about anyone before, so I don't want to scare him off but I really do miss him.

I think you've given him enough bait to bite but he hasn't. Write this one off. If you run after him, it will serve no good purpose except to frustrate you!

Good luck.

I think you have tried and he has not accepted.
