There is a guy who went to school with me until last semester (he graduated early) who's a year older than I am, and we started talking in school alot at the end of last year. Since then, he'd come up to say hi, give me hugs on occasion, and try to scare me by coming up behind me in the hall while I wasn't paying attention. He'd also ask me to sit with him at lunch when we had an altered schedule and we happened to have the same shift, and (sorry this part is misplaced) we' talked quite a bit at his locker and on the way to our different classes. Since he graduated early, I hadn't seen him since first semester until he came a few days ago for a senior awards assembly. I didn't even see him because I was worried about being late to class, but he saw me and said hi, and opened his arms for a hug. He was still hanging around at lunch and asked me to sit with him, but while I sat and ate, he only talked to me once to ask how I was, and then, without ever lookong at me he talked to the underclassmen boys at the table with us. Maybe he was just a little nervous , I don't know.. So from what I've been able to tell you, do you think he likes me? He's a real sweet guy, and I really do like him, but I don't ever have much luck, and I don't want to jump to conclusions so I need another opinion... Thankyou! :). *Also, sorry for any typos*

But don't push on to strong. Ask him to hang outside of school maybe? go bowling or something like that. I would say that him not talking to you much in front of his guy friends is just him being a normal guy. Guys don't want to come off too interested in front of their friends. They like to be mysterious.

Ask him if he wants to hangout soon, ask him for his number just to stay in touch. If he likes you, he will give you his number, he will say yes lets figure out when to hang out.

And even then, it is still hard to tell. The best way to find out is coming up with a non-pressure, non awkward way to ask and find out.
I have found the best way is to let the person you like, know that you enjoy their friendship so far and especially talking to each other and you'd like to have a chance to stay in touch in case he is also interested in staying in touch. Thats non threatening and he's likely going to trade numbers.
Another thing one can do if not sure the other person feels the same you do, is to state your feelings not as something that already exists, but to say, "Hey, I am beginning to have stronger feelings with you than just friendship. How do you feel about me?" I read from a dating expert that stating this as something that is just starting is not as threatening or awkward for the other person to hear in case they don't feel the same. If they state they do have feelings also, then you can add, "So what do you think about us spending more time hanging out together to see if this is something that may be long lasting, maybe set some dates? Other than that, I'd say to surf the net looking for info on body language and such because that is often helpful in determining if a person is interested in you that way or not. A couple obvious ones are finding reasons to come and stand or sit near you, close enough to reach out and touch. Another is when seated, the persons feet are pointed toward you and they tend to lean forward seeming to hang on to every word that you speak. You might want to hunt down some youtube video's on the subject to see a person demonstrating these things. Good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
