Question Posted Saturday December 15 2007, 9:24 pm
hey everyone, i'd really appreciate your time and input, i'll keep it short :)
there's this sweet guy i've known for about a year now, he's not like other guys i've seen: he's a great listener, very observant, humble, and kind to everyone.
we've known each other for about a year now, and have the same group of friends, didn't know him that well then. but recently he's opened up a little. i've noticed he laughs a lot at my jokes, moreso than other people do, (and they're not all that funny). it could just be that he's nice. but just recently he started to touch my arm, gesture to me, get my attn. over little things and mentions my name a lot(i'm excluding some tidbits to shorten this). a lot of girls are attracted to him, and he's known our groups of friends(who are mostly girls) longer than he's known me, so i'm wondering what this new comfortableness means. and i just found out that he's going to europe and at the end of the trip he's going to spend 3 days in paris w/a girl from school who'll be there too(but she apparently has a bf). i don't know this girl, but my friend says he doesn't poke her or anything, but then who feels comfortable enough to go hang out w/a girl he's known only for 3 months in a diff. country?have i misinterpreted these signs, does he like her instead, and me as just a friend? please help!!! thank you!

(although, again, i dont know the whole story, and what exactly the relationship between these two is.) with that aside, i think you should go for him, he sounds like a super sweet guy! dont miss oportunity, you just might regret it!

trmrh answered Sunday December 16 2007, 2:58 pm: okay, well, it sounds likes he likes you.
that's almost how it was with my boyfriend and me, actually. i had no clue he even liked me, because girls were all over him.
but since you're doubting that he does, tell him how you feel and ask him if he feels the same way, (that's what i had done) and if it's a "yes i feel the same way about you," type thing, ask him out! it sounds like you guys are good friends, and chances are you won't break up really quick, so when he goes to europe, you'll bne on his mind even more, and he'll be in the "i can't wait to see her and hang out again" mood. haha, i have a bad habit of making up scenarios (sp?) with such little information.
anyways, i wish you the best of luck!
piglet34 answered Sunday December 16 2007, 11:56 am: ok this is what i think you should do
you should ask him out if you want to if he says no then hell probably stay friends with you since you said how nice he was and you should probably try to do it before he goes to Europe. If you find out that he likes the other girl then i guess yall could still be friends
hope i helped [ piglet34's advice column | Ask piglet34 A Question ]
