Question Posted Monday November 1 2004, 9:47 pm

This is a double question so apologies if it's long. There's a guy on my tennis team that i've been friends with since freshman year (i'm a sophomore) and lately I think he likes me. At a tournament, for example, one day he carried my bag for me, saved me a seat on the bus? *yeah it was wierd*, and had his arm around me for only like half a minute, my friends on the team say he likes me but does he? And if he does I don't really like him much in that way. If he does what do i do?

It certainly sounds like he likes you, although it is possible that saving you a seat on the bus was just a friendly act.

As for what you should do, I think you need to send clear signals. You can be friendly, but if you think something is flirtacious and crosses the line of what's normal friendly behavoiur, like putting his around you, make it clear that you aren't happy with that. You can try to do that non verbally by, for example, moving away slightly if he's getting to close, as this avoids the akward 'I'm sorry, this makes me a bit uncomfortable because I don't like you that way...' type conversation, but if he doesn't take the hint just having a polite but honest conversation with him might be necessary. It might be a bit akward, but it's better than letting him get the wrong idea and having to have the same conversation further down the line. Good luck!

If he does and you definatly dont like him make sure you dont make him think you do. Cuz if you lead him on and then tell him you dont like him it'll crush him and then he could have bad feelings toward you. Just let him know you just want to be friends. But it seems to me like he does like you.

Well..if he asks you out say that you think he is really great person but not in that b/f way. Better to be a bit cruel than to lead him on. To me ..it seems like he likes you..but unless he asks you out..do not push the issue...

If you don't like him they way you think he like you don't mention it to him instead just be nice and stick to friends as for the carrying the bag stuff he might just be being nice your friends won't always be right
