There's this boy I like and we've been through a lot together and he's acted SO much like he likes me but now he's telling me that he only likes me as a friend. He even said he thinks of me as a sister and his best friend. But he acts so much like he likes me but then, people constantly tell him that he needs/should go out with me/ask me out/etc. He cares about what people think and he's tired of everyone pressuring him to go out with me and it contradicts how he acts around me. We talk a lot and he initiates it a lot and we flirt at times(not nearly as much as before, we used to flirt 24/7) but sometimes he's also kind of mean to me. And when I confront him about being mean to me, he's always really sorry and feels bad about it genuinely. But I'm tired of all these mixed messages and signals and the changes in behavior. I just don't know what to do. If anyone could give me some advice about my situation, I'd be really thankful and also, if anyone could tell me any and all signs that a guy likes you, I'd be doubly thankful. Thanks so much.

Ask_me_a_question answered Monday February 21 2005, 8:59 pm: Mixed signals, but it sounds, just from that short description, that he likes you but is nervous and tired of other people telling him what to do. So drop hints... or just ask him out, if you are a little daring. Good luck.
