Female,16
The guy i like is really shy about girls, hes never had a gf before, and we are really good friends. ive liked him a long time, and i figured it was just time to tell him. I guess he really had no clue.. yesterday i talk to him alone after school, and said you know i like you and he was silent scuffing his feet and half smiling and he said THANK YOU.. tell me what is that suppose to mean? thank yOU!? and then he said wow this really caught me off guard i i.. and his friend walked by and siad lets go, i need a ride home, so hes said well i guess ill talk to you later and left...do you think maybe he jsut didnt know what to say, usually he'd say oh well lets jsut be friend or somthing like that but he said thank you, and its such a neutral comment... plus most people i know think he likes me.. so do you think maybe he was jsut caught off guard and didnt know what to say or what?

It makes people feel good to know that people like them - especially when it's someone they care about as a friend or more.
I don't know if he likes you. The obvious two options are that he doesn't - but is flattered - or that he does and was caught off guard.
Either way, I think he was surprised by your comments....especially if he had no idea. I've give him a couple of days to reflect on what you've said. If he doesn't bring the topic up in that time, then YOU bring it up.
You're obviously a girl in touch with her feelings AND her bravery (good for you - it's rare!), so taking the next step to ask his thoughts on what you've said is well within your reach. And as a friend, he must understand that you'll need some sort of response.

He's probably just really happy and was lost for words. Boys are weird that way lol. Just talk to him and ask him what it meant but I'm pretty sure it's because that is what he wanted to hear. xO ali Leave me another with what he says!
