about

I'm an 29 year old guy.
I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.

o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

14/f...okay I really really like one of my better guy friends named Warren. But no one knows it except me. Anyways I he was talking with one of my other friends and he said that he thinks that I like him a little (I tend to make things obvious). I totally freaked out and avoided him for a while so now he doesn't think I *like like* him anymore. It's good for now but I have a feeling that he *might* feel the same way about me. I'm not sure though. Even if he does we both don't want to make a move probably because we don't want the other one acting weird. I have no idea what to do. As far as how to act. Eventually I want him to know that I like him. But I'm not sure about the timing, or even if I should tell him. Should I wait for him to make the first move? What if he doesn't? I'm really confused...PLEASE HELP ME!
thanx
I RATE HIGH!!!^^

Hey,
Well first thing's first - don't avoid him if you still are. If you don't know whether or not the guy likes you, then the first thing that would be good to find out is that. There are several sneaky ways for the devious girl to find out whether or not a boy likes her. There are also many blunt ways for the not so devious. I'll start with the sneaky ways, because they are my favourite.
Drop something. It's a classic, and a little bit obvious, unless it's done very well - Find something unimportant such as a badge with a funny expression printed on it, or a pencil you don't like so much. When he's around leave to go somewhere, and drop whatever you've picked. You have to be sneaky about it, and then pretend no to notice that you've dropped anything. The point of this one is the check if he's watching, and the see if he cares enough to go out of his way to tell you, or give something back to you later on. Judgement of this one is up to you, because he could react that way just out of common courtesy.
Pretend your locker is broken when he's around...
Sit with him a few times at meal-breaks, and then try to beat him to a seat a small distance away from where he normally sits (So he can see where you are when he goes to sit down), and see if he gravitates towards you.
Drop an innocent little hint about not having anything to do on the weekend, and see if he bites.
Ok, here are a few blunt ones;
Write a small sticky note saying "I like you, do you like me too? Stick me!" or something short (Write it on the back so it doesn't show when stuck) and put it through his locker slats. If it turns up stuck to your locker then that's pretty definite (Although there's always room for error)
Ask his friends if he likes you, or if they can find out for you.
Ask him.

You said you're both afraid to make a move because you don't want the other acting weird, which was another reason that I gave you those few little things to try. The way I look at it, you don't need to make an outright move to show someone that you like them, it can be just little hints here and there. If he responds, then that would be the time to ask him out or something. Or just get to be his really close friend without "Acting weird", and maybe something will happen.
With respect to who should make the first move, it's ordinary culture for the guy to make the first "Move". However, if you think the guy likes you I would say screw stereotypes, because it's always nice to be asked out by girls. It makes guys feel good. Don't get caught by being shy though. If you like this guy, think he likes you, but he's just too shy to ask you out, then ask him. Ask as soon as the opportunity presents itself. As the last person said... if you leave it too late, you don't get another chance.
