Well what makes you think this way? I have always had low slef esteem so whenever I'm with a guy (even if he's told me 'I like you a lot' or that he loves me) i don't buy it... until recently did I figure out they did like me. It could be that... just a thought. Well you should really be observent of how he acts with you. Sometimes actions (well human behavior and body language and stuff) speak louder than words. Just analyze how he is with you. Is he affectionate? A lot or a little? Only around his friends or only in private or whenever? Does he compliment you often? How much does he call you? What do you talk about? (if you're just there quiet for five minutes and then he goes it may be a bad sign... unless he's just not a phone person or if he's shy, in which you'd have to ask yourself that question about him... but most likely it's a bad sign, but this is just an example) Also, who asked who out. If he asked you out then this (in my experience) always seems to be the KEY QUESTION to ask yourself:
When he asked you out (drum roll) was he nervous?
In all of my experiences when the guy is nervous or shy in asking you out (no matter if he is shy or isn't shy in person) it means he really cares about you. When the guy isn't shy even if you say no and he is persistant it doesn't make much of a difference to him. So if he was shy it means he likes you.
Do you think he doesn't like you or that he may break up with you? Two boyfriends ago I had a feeling my boyfriend (who I didn't think liked me... but he did) was going to break up with me. it was like a weird strong feeling. well he did. now the first person that gave you adivce brought this up too and i didn't really read much of what he or she said but he/she said something about breaking up with the person first. no offense but if you really like this guy then that piece of adivce is crapy (in my opinion). see, if you really like the guy and you break up with him no matter what he'll think you don't like him anymore and move on. Even if (for example) he was thinking of breaking up with you because he thought you could do better or because he's insecure but he never was really going to go through with it (these are just examples, crappy examples though). The guy that broke up with me still liked me when he broke up with me. He regret it when he did and shortly after he asked me to get with him again. But regardless what happens (he breaks up with you or doesn't break up with you) you know that you were honest about your feelings the whole time. And even if he breaks up with you and asks you out again and you don't take him back you won't have any regrets or anything to feel crappy about.
So analyze how he acts and if it seems he cares about you and be honest about your feelings.
Goodnight and good luck! [ vilelove's advice column | Ask vilelove A Question ]

Talk to him more and get his attetntion, but if you really have that gut feeling girl intution then you should prepare yourself, he might brek up with you, but hey if you know that you could always break up with him before he breask up with you, to be very blunt and honest.
