We were sitting across the table from each other in science class. He calls my best friend over(his good friend too) and tells me he's going to steal her headband. When she comes over, I let her know, and she leaves. He kicks me under the table (not too hard, not like he was trying to hurt me) and says, Oh, sorry, is that your leg? and keeps on doing it. I kick back playfully, and he starts moaning that I hurt him, but smiling the whole time. It seemed pretty flirty to me, especially since we were kind of flirting the rest of the class.
Totally different, but this is about the same guy. Today, after all the fun yesterday, he barely is fun, but kept talking to me about his ex. Is he trying to make me jealous, or is he genuinely just not ready for me as more than a friend yet?
DrPlayer answered Tuesday April 3 2007, 11:08 pm: Yes, from what you just told me it seems like flirting. There is a good chance he is trying to make you jealous and try to pay attention to what he says. You can probably tell. Just be patient and eventually time will tell what's going to happen.

For the second part- it depends.
Was he complaining about her? If he was, then he is saying that he wants someone better- you? If he was saying bad things then it doesn't mean anything at all.
Was he saying things like, "I miss when we did that," or "I don't know why she did that," or "We used to have a lot of fun"? If he was, then he feels like he can talk to you about deeper things. He might have wanted comfort or advice, or your feedback. He could still be getting over her, or he could be saying that he just wants to be deep with you. He thinks of you as more than just the kind of girl that he'd have a short fling with- also the kind that he could really have a connection with. Or, he could think of you as a friend that he could really connect with- but nothing more. Chances are, it's the first one, though.
Was he pointing out good things about her, and talking about how great she was, but not seeming really upset? If he was, then he was trying to make you jealous.
Did he seem like he was having trouble getting over her? If he was, then he's not ready for anyone else yet. (I'm going to assume you like him, otherwise the rest is irrelevant.) If he asks you out before he seems like he truly is over her, then chances are you're just a rebound girl. Don't say yes. Wait until he's fully over her. Rebound relationships never work out, and you'll get too hurt. But when he's over her, then he'll probably still like you. Waiting would definitely be worth it. It would work out much better.
