okay i have this guy friend that i'm really close to. were always playing w/each other but is it flirting? like today on IM he said "omg you looked so HOT today! j/p" and i said "yeah you too ;-)" but i mean is he flirting w/me??? were pretty open w/each other and everything. but he asked my bff out and she turned him down and i don't think he's quite over her... is this flirting? thanks
oxipreferpreppyox answered Friday August 12 2005, 11:55 pm: Oh yes- I would definitely qualify that as flirting. If he's not over your friend, he COULD be saying that stuff because you would boost his ego by saying something nice back. But I don't think that is the case.

VainTaraLynn answered Friday August 12 2005, 11:26 pm: I think he might be flirting, but is scared to actually come out and show you what he thinks, so he says jk to see your reaction, before he actually decides to tell you that he means it. Most people who are too shy to say how they feel, actually do say their feelings but then say jk so they wont be on the spot and the other person wont feel pressure & shut them down. I think its undercover flirting. Not to make you feel bad or anything, but theres a possibility that hes flirting with other people to get his confidence back up since she rejected him. I could be wrong though, so ultimately I think you should talk to him and see how he feels, since your open, this should be no problem. [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]
crazygoober2006 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 11:04 pm: it is flirting it sounds like, but that doesn't always mean that a guy has feelings for you like that. I have a really awesome "big bro" that I flirt w/ online and stuff all the time but i KNOW he doesn't have feelings for me that way, it's just fun. If he was really interested, he'd probably ask you to hang out and look you in the eye and stuff. I hope I helped. [ crazygoober2006's advice column | Ask crazygoober2006 A Question ]
frenchy answered Thursday August 11 2005, 10:47 pm: hey! yeah i think he's flirting with you. when he imed you, he might have said "jp" but he woulnt have said that you looked hott if he didnt think so. also, he's probably scared of rejection because your bff turned him down. i guess now you need to figure whether or not you like him, and if you do, maybe you should wait a little while to make sure that he's not flirting with you just because he got rejected by your friend. i hope this helped, peace and love [ frenchy's advice column | Ask frenchy A Question ]
sillygoose92b answered Thursday August 11 2005, 10:02 pm: He is definetely flirting with you. This could be to make your friend jelous or maybe he likes you. When a guy compliments you like that he most likely has a reason. Hope I helped [ sillygoose92b's advice column | Ask sillygoose92b A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Thursday August 11 2005, 9:18 pm: it MIGHT be flirting, it MIGHT not. it depends on what kind've person he is. the best thing you can do is talk to him about it.
emery answered Thursday August 11 2005, 8:55 pm: yes it most certinly is.
he is feeling you out seeing how you take it so he can maybe ask you on a date or to start something more than a friendship [ emery's advice column | Ask emery A Question ]
GossipGirl56 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 8:18 pm: i wouldn't say flirting but i mean saying that kinda stuff like "j/p" you never know he could if ment that. Like he might not of known what your response was to when he said that so that is why he said like "just playing".I think that he may like you. I mean once my bff turned down this one guy who asked her out, so that guy moved on to me! But the thing is you never know if that guy really likes you or not. So really i think that is flirting!
Hope it all works out!
K2204 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 8:15 pm: yeah, I was going to type exactly what Younggrandma said! it really does sound like he likes you, but the reason he is saying j/p is because he is afraid of rejection, or isnt sure how you feel. I think if he didnt have j/p on the end it would be totally for sure and you could make a move!
karenR answered Thursday August 11 2005, 8:06 pm: It certainly sounds like he is flirting with you.
He probably likes you but is afraid to say anything for fear of being rejected. Give him time and I bet he will ask you out. You could ask him too if you wanted. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
