Theres a guy I like. He goes to my school. Is in my grade, two of my classes, ect. ect.
But, he knows I like him, and doesn't like me back. He's told me multiple times. But lately, he's been acting like I'm okay. Usually he acts like he hates me. He even IMed me first on AIM. Which is like, a first. Ever. We've been able to talk more, and we're getting along pretty well.
The bad side is, well, I've liked him for so long, now that he's finally maybe liking me, I don't feel exactly the same. I'm in this odd stage where, I do and don't like him. I mean, he's hurt me so much, but I feel like I love him. I can't control my feelings.
So what I would like to know is:
Do you think he likes me?
What should I do if he asks me out?
and
Should I take action?(ME asking him out)
I have NO idea what to do.

Girls seem to become attracted to the opposite sex sooner than boys, its a peer pressure thing. I do think he is starting to like you. I wouldn't ask him out though, however if he asks you for a date I'd say go. Here is something to remember, we strike out at things we don't understand and everyone trys to protect themselves that way. Forgive his hurtfulness of the past and start building new memories from now on. You are young to settle on someone yet, but I think the two of you may become at the least very good friends. Luck and love! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
lorelei answered Sunday May 1 2005, 1:15 am: Well, first, let me advise you to avoid using the word "love". It seems like a wonderful feeling, but pigeon-holing all of your feelings with a 4-letter word will only frustrate you in the end. You won't believe how many times you'll endup saying "but I love him." Leave it open. You "enjoy his company" or "care a lot about him," maybe.
Now, if you aren't sure about whether or not you still like this guy, I wouldn't see the harm in either asking him out or accepting his offer for a date. You can spend some together in the romantic sense and see if you really fit together. It can help you really figure your feelings for him.
As to whether or not he likes you, I honestly don't know enough about him, you or the situation to say that. I can say though that it's definitely worth a try asking him out. You need some closure with your feelings and this will be the best way to achieve that.

pixiechix834 answered Saturday April 30 2005, 3:31 pm: i dont think he likes you that way. just because he is being nice to you doesnt mean he wants to go out with you!!! dont take action until you two have been doing some serious flirting.

CrazyBeautiful answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:47 pm: I have the exact same kind of relationship with this boy that I like. In order to know if he likes you or not, you have to ask. I know that sounds hard, but boys don't normally just come out and say "I like you." You have to get it out of him if you really want to know. If he asks you out, give it a shot. I mean, can he hurt you more than he has already? And I don't think that YOU should ask HIM out because guys normally like to be in control. And believe me, if he likes you, he'll ask you out if you give him hints. (well, more hints, lol) Just be super nice to him and respect him and give it a LITTLE bit of time. Things should work out, and hey, even if they don't, theres probably a kazillion other guys out there that are perfect for you and would never even think about hurting you. <3 Kari [ CrazyBeautiful's advice column | Ask CrazyBeautiful A Question ]

Derfel answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:31 pm: Short answer? - YES, YES, YES! - I think he likes you. And I think he's liked you all along. That doesn't change the fact that he's been acting like a compleat dick though.... But if you feel as strongly as you say you have to go for it! Take it slow though, esspecialy at first! Good Luck!

kooka-burra answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:49 pm: Just because you to are talking more often doesn't meen that he likes you just yet. I think that you should wait a while, if he starts to flirt then go for it. But most likely he wants to be friends, which is fine too. In the past he has made it quite clear that he doesn't want to be in a relationship. Tell him that hes sending you mixed messages and ask him were he stands. Also tell him that your pretty much over him so he knows were you stand too.
Khrysty answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:45 pm: I think he don't and do like you just like you said you felt about him. and if he ask you out, then say straight up NO. but if you want, you could say yes. But I am sstill saying the smart thing to say would be NO. [ Khrysty's advice column | Ask Khrysty A Question ]
sugarmeltsinrain answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:43 pm: Well, first of all...if he has hurt you so much, why are you even still bothering with this guy? I'm sure that there are PLENTY of other guys out there dying to date you. Don't waste your time on this guy if he is just now noticing you after being a jerk to you!

Crazy_Girl15 answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:41 pm: oook chill for a sec.. i don't think he likes you i think he's just trying to be a nice guy. He might like you but definatly don't be the one to make the first move.. let him come to you and if he likes you he will.. otherwise just enjoy being friends with him.. it's better then him hating you right? the world won't end with him at 13 trust me.. what's meant to happen will
