I can't tell if he like me, or if he's just being friendly.
Question Posted Saturday December 9 2006, 5:05 pm
I've liked this kid for a few months now, and we've become close friends. We talk all the time, and hes in half of my classes. But, because we've become so close, i can't tell if he likes me as a friend, or if he wants to be...more. In class, he talks to my friend and I, but he seems to pay attention to me more than her. When I started dating this kid 5 year older than me, and he got mad at me, and wouldn't talk to me for weeks, even after I had broken up with my boyfriend!
Do you think he likes me, or is he just watching my back?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? xocrazyyaboutyou answered Saturday December 9 2006, 8:49 pm: In my opinion from what you just told me it seems like he has feelings for you. You should talk to him about it. Ask him how he feels and tell him how you feel. Guys tend to get jealous really easily when it comes to a girl they like or maybe kinda like dating other guys. but he could have just been looking out for you and not want you to date someone 5 years older then you. but i think that the chance is that he likes you . but im not him so talk to him about it. or talk to one of his friends if you are friends with them. :] hope i helped. dont hesitate to ask me for anymore advice on my column. oxxx Sam <3 [ xocrazyyaboutyou's advice column | Ask xocrazyyaboutyou A Question ]

I think the only way to find out is to ask him.
If this boy does like you, and you did later on decide to get together, then I think that you should begin with a clear communication.
Often the break down of relationships is caused by the lack of communication, so to start off on a good footing where you are both open and honest with each other would be a good idea. It would in helping avoiding problems later on in the relationship.
I personally was in this situation up until a few days ago, when I confronted the person and was turned down, but I accepted that it was simply that they dont feel the same way and just want to be really good friends.
If you like the person, it can be a strain on your friendship, as I have found in the past, because this asking whether you like me or not will come up every once in a while, which is why this time around I am accepting the fact it wont happen with said person and just accepting it and moving on.
I love them more than anything, but you do have to accept the things you can't change and just move on.
It sounds like you do care about this boy, as you say you're close, but you do have to ask yourself is that what you want?
If you dont want to ask your friend if he likes you directly, how about approaching one of his friends or a mutual friend and ask them, they may know.
He may like you and that's why he stopped talking to you, or he may just have been watching your back.
Either way, it seems he cares about you.
So if you were to ask him and explain that it's only because you want to know so your friendship doesnt end up in trouble.
Just talk to him.
He may not even realise he like you.
Or maybe he thought you felt the same and that's why he got mad.
Whatever the reason is, you owe it to both of you to find out what is going on and clarifying the situation. It'll make things easier.
Feel free to contact me and ask anymore advice if you need it.
Hope Ive been of some help!

Lets say he definetly has feelings for you. Since you are close friends already, it is definite that he would be watching out for you. If he dated someone who you knew was trouble, you would be concerned right? Everyone makes stupid decisions sometimes, and different people have different ways of dealing with them. If you really like him, I would tell him how you feel straight up, and hope that he says his feelings to you also. If he doesnt, then keep asking him. Also, watch for clues, like sitting next to you, or always wanting to hang out. Trust me, you will know when its the real deal!
Hope I helped!
