Question Posted Saturday November 13 2004, 12:24 pm
I am a 13 year old girl. I have a really good guy friend who is also 13. i am starting to develop stronger feelings for him everyday. I drop hints alot, but he just acts like nothing happened most of time. Other times he will flirt back. A few days ago he put his arm around my waist but I don't know if it was a friendly gesture, or if its because he likes me. We have a really close friendship and don't want to ruin that. Should I keep on flirting, or just be firends? If he does like me, what are the hints I should be looking for?
SoUrLiMe11 answered Saturday November 13 2004, 11:58 pm: Well Its hard to develop feelings for friends because its hard to tell if they feel the same. But your best bet is to just bring it up. But you dont have to be too obvious about it just be like "What would happen if we were together?" or "Have you ever even thought about us being even closer that friends?". And if you two do get together if you find he does like you and you break up at some point, it could really ruin this great friendship. So you have lots to think about. Is it worth even working for if you two may not be friends anymore. And hints to see if he does like you are very hard to find since your good friends! GOOD LUCK

when he puts his arm arounds you... wants to hug you more often, you find him looking in your eyes more often or catch him staring at you... if he even seems a little awkward toward you... if he compliments you even the slightest...
Just keep being his friend... a good friend, but at the same time flirt harder! :) He'll trust you as a friend and like you as a girlfriend and probably ask you out. If your a good girlfriend and he breaks up with you, you'll probably end up being friends again afterwards... so go for it. [ MedicatedSanity's advice column | Ask MedicatedSanity A Question ]

Be really nice to him and show him you care a little extra. But make sure not to be too forceful about it, cause then it could get weird. Good luck, dahling.

And the arm around the waist thing i would think its just a friendly gesture because me and my guy friends do more than that but I aint even close to likeing them and they probly dont like me either that way. And if you two do get together if you find he does like you and you break up at some point, it could really ruin this great friendship you explain. So you have lots to think about. Is it worth even working for if you two may not be friends anymore. And hints to see if he does like you are very hard to find since your good friends, so your best bet is to hint around about it and maybe you will find out.

Sherry answered Saturday November 13 2004, 12:36 pm: If he's touching you like that, then its no friendly gesture. Just have some of your friends ask him if he likes you..and if he does keep flirting and see what happens! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
