First, thank you for telling me your age. As I said, the age makes a great difference in how males/females interact with one another.
I going to guess that the young man you like is near the same age as you. Usually, boys that age are just getting to the point where they can actually admit that they like a girl. Even so, they may still feel a bit uncomfortable expressing it. Not so much for the thoughts that their friends will have but mostly because they're very wary of being rejected, which is a fate worse than death at that age.
With that being said, here are a few signs to look for.
What does he do when you find yourself looking into each others' eyes? If he likes you ( in more than a freind kinda' way ) he may smile, look away quickly, and then glance back again to see if you're still looking.
Does his friends ask questions about you to your friends? ( What you like. What you think of him, etc., etc.). Sometimes, boys like to make sure that they are not putting themselves out to be embarrassed by saying that they like you and having it turn out that you don't feel the same way about them. Come to think of it...alot of us grown men do that, too, lol. So, they'll send in friends to find out what they need to know before taking that step.
If you have any classes together, and he has the chance to sit anywhere he wants, see if he tries to sit as close to you as possible. That's a very good sign that he likes you.
Does he go out of his way to try and make you laugh?
Does he use every opportunity he can to try and touch you? Your arm...back...hand...etc, etc.
( Example: Does he tell a joke and when you laugh, places his hand on your back or arm while laughing with you? )
These are just a few ways to tell and by no means is it all of them.
Why don't you have one of your friends talk to one of his and ask how he feels about you? I would think that would be a very good way to relieve some of the breath-holding that I know you've been doing. :)
Drop me a line and let me know how things turn out.
Good luck, Babirgirl [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
