Question Posted Tuesday September 11 2007, 7:14 pm
Hey.
15/m
So school started the other week.
And its been pretty much wonderful.
I have a friends who is bi.
And in the past week I think he has started flirting with me.
Now, I'm not gay.
But I have no problem with gay people.
So...
How can I tell if he really does likes me (not by asking?
I prettty conceited,
so I am hoping that i am just "thinking" that he likes me.
help?

Is he looking at you more than usual, ei, when someone else is talking? Do his eyes ever melt slightly when he looks at you? Does he tease you by touching you (not tackling kind of stuff, but things that are slightly more subtle). Other signs may be tilting his head to one side, or sitting near you all of the time as you and your friends are sitting together.
Remember, though, that a lot of flirting is often causal and may not mean that someone likes you. If you are really concerned, you could always send some hints his way, for example, you could talk about girls you find hot, or the girl(s) you have a crush on, or give him some hint that you only like him as a friend (ei "you're such a good friend" or if that's too cheesy, call him your brother or something?)
