Okay so i like this guy but im not sure if he likes me. Hes one of my cousins good friends. He says alot of nice stuff to me like that i have really pretty eyes and that im pretty. On the last day of school it was me him and my cousin [we all walk home] and he acts so different when ben [ my cousin] is around. He`ll be mean to me and like mostly joking around though. He`ll belike you know what DYKE, go play in traffic. And hes like gosh go away. But as soon asmy cousin leave hes all nice and is like yeah your really cool and stuff like that. Its hard to tell if he likes me because he just acts different. And he calls me allot and i call him because were good friends. Most of the time we talk on the phone for like 2 hours. Our max. is 4. I just need advice on in your opinion he likes me at all?

Hrcoole answered Thursday July 27 2006, 3:22 pm: YES, YES, YES he does like you. the reason he is acting diffrent when you cousin is around is because he does not want to seem soft. guys have their own thing going on inside their heads. they think that they have to act a certian way, like all high and mighty. when they really don't and appartntly he shows that he trusts you by talking to you for 2 to 4 hours. he does like you. he is putting up a wall for your cousin so he does not see that this guy likes you. i would make a move, when your cousin is not around, hold his hand or something. if he pulls away he may not be ready to let his secret out just yet, if he is ok with it. you have your answer, with him acting diffrently u will have to get used to that if this guy is a teen. guys in their teens are just like that. but he will grow out of it, expecially if you go out with him he will change more than likely.

poetqueen answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 10:43 pm: guys act different around their friends. b.c they dont want their friends to kno who they have a thing for, they think that if their friends think they have a crush, its less manly. it sounds to me like he likes you, when guys take the time to compliment you it usually means theyre interested i think youve got a shot but i would ask him just like "hey why do you treat me so differently when its the 2 of us then you do when my cousin is around" you know, try to get some answers. good luck!

He's probably trying to show off in front of your cousin. He doesn't want to be vunerable infront of your Ben and might think that he might loose some of your cousin's respect if he starts liking you. Especially, since he doesn't know whether you like him for sure or not, he probably doesn't want to risk offending Ben.
You should start flirting with him when Ben is around and see how he reacts. Maybe even tell him how you feel.
Be careful though, because he's definitley putting up a front but when the mask comes off, he's either a boy who likes you a lot, or he's a boy whose just, well... nice. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
Lola answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 2:02 am: Hey,
I have read your problems and i understand the situation pretty well.
Now i have been in my school for 6 years, and during that time, i have been through similar situations before.And i have seen that in boys alot.
Now in my opinion,i think that he does like you.But what he is doing is one of the things that boys often do. He talks to you in a really nice way when you guys are alone, and he could even reach the extent of flirting which he is doing when he compliments you.But then when someone else you know from school or else where shows up, he doesn't want him to know that he likes you or that he was flirting with you, so he wouldn't be made fun of ( you know boys). And so he starts acting like any other boy, being mean and teasing you and all that stuff.
I usually hate that character in boys, and i think that it makes them look like cowards ,but they soon come around and stop caring about what people think about them.
I could have told you to just come straight and ask him why he is doing that, but he will probably just get all mad and embarrassed and not talk to you for a while.
Thats why i am just telling you to let go and leave him come around on his own, because he does love you and he does flirt with you when he says all these things to you. and maybe if you try to get even more close to him and hang out more with him, that would encourage him to be a little braver and start standing up for himself and not care what other people will think of him when they see him with you.
But i want to tell you something, that he may be doing all these mood swings and changes, but if you have a problem and you really need him beside you, then he will be there comforting you and caring for you.
So try to consider what i said, and if need any further advice or help, then please be free to contact me.
P.S: Try to ignore these mean things he says, and how he suddenly starts teasing you and joking around. At least ignore it for a while. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
