O.k i took someone's advice on here and i flirted w/ my guy friend. Turns out he likes me to. And we are sort of going out i guess. Now that Band camp has started he stands behind me(in the parade marching) and he always like pokes me when we are just standing there. And he pokes me like where i don't like to be poked(on my butt) it is really really anoying. How can i get him to stop doing it w/o hurting his feelings some how.(he is REALLY EXTREMELY emotional, its strange) Now i know if i tell him to stop he will freak out(a similar situation happen earlier this yeat)
I don't want to do anything to hurt him scince we just started going out and i am scared he will leave me! ARGH i don't know what to do.
He can't read your mind- since you haven't stopped him yet- he may just assume you like it.
I think really your only option is to tell him that you don't really like it- in the most polite way possible.
Like say, "Hey, I know that you really care about me- and you're trying to poke me- and I think its cute that you're trying to flirt- but I really don't like when you poke my butt. I hope you understand,"
That should work- and if he leaves you for saying that- then that's just dumb.

Either:
A. Ask him.
B. Just straight up tell him.
Going with option A, you can just catch him after practice or something one day and go, "Hey, were you poking me? It's begining to bother me. Can you please stop it?"
Going with option B, you can say something along the lines of, "Hey, I know you're trying to be cute and all, but I don't like you poking me. It's messing me up, so just stop."
