Q: How in the world are you supposed to tell a guy is being mean, or mean flirty nice.. you know?


This guy has been well mean/flirty? to me, since the sixth grade, and I find it cute.

But I dont know if he really is just being mean, or if he likes me.


THe easy answer would be that he does,
maybe i'm over analyzing?
Well, he certainly is paying attention to you, and if he didn't like you, he wouldn't! Since you probably blush, smile, or come back with a few lines of your own (or any combination of the three), he's getting feedback from you that you enjoy the banter.

If he's just being mean, it would be easy to find out (ask yourself if you really want to know, or if you'd rather have "fun" with the back-and-forth first). When you are alone and see him--and he's alone-- smile and say, "Hi, how's it goin'?" There is no way to answer this in a mean way without "meaning" it. He could come back with a clever or witty remark about having a shitty day or whatever, but I can't envision any scenario in which he could be mean to you when you ask this question unless he's a mean person...and if he is, you can put your time to better use.
Please let me know how this turns out. gigi

Thank you sooo much :) my IM is kaylehmae
and.. I mean I think he likes me. And when I ask him how hes doing, hes like.. i'm good you? LIke hes nice to me liek that, but sometimes he just teases me, and I like it ahha.
so I guess we'll see, but he wont ask me out I'm pretty sure because... we dont see each other that often, but hesliked me for a really long time.. and ive liked him for a really long time too.

I have had what I term a "soap opera life". In other words, I've seen it all. Almost.

I work in health care and I'm as old as the hills (not that old, I guess--but I'm definitely not a kid) so feel free to ask whatever you like.
