Haha, aww, this is so cute xD I definitely think he's interested, heck yeah, from the sounds of things he didn't wanna give a straight yes/no answer because he might be slightly either socially awkward, or awkward around you simply because he does like you. I've given funny yes/no answers in the past when it came to cinema because I, while I wanted to go really badly, I was kinda scared of showing myself up in front of the person when it was just the two of us. Get your friend, or both Jane and Karina, along if you can then ask him.
See what he says, and if your girl friends are anything like a lot of girls I've known and heard of when it comes to lads liking one another they'll literally throw you two at eachother. He might be uncomfortable at first but just try to talk to him normally, keep him reassured but it'll never hurt to throw a joke in if he does look uneasy. I remember something as simple as when I stumbled in the line to Subway once with a few friends, one of them (who at the time, the two of us were openly interested in one another to some extent) said "Don't fall for me that easy" xD A late night cinema date with your girl friends and him along is the best way to keep things going I can imagine, keep in contact with him!
I hope it goes well, this is really quite the story :P.
I really don't know, it's quite confusing. If you like him try to invite him on a date a few more times but if he keeps avoiding you then give it up. There are many more gay guys out there waiting.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
