Yes I'm sure this question is very common but nonetheless I still need help. Well I have a good friend named Robert and he is really cool. So I did not like as more than a friend him before but recently I have gotten closer to him so now I really like him. Last week we danced together and there was a slow dance and he asked me to dance with him. Other than that hes always talking to me and around me and we really can talk about just about anything. It's just that hes 18 and I'm 16, so like I think he thinks I'm too young. And he like flirts with other girls so I'm not sure how he sees me: as a friend or more. But sometimes I'll like catch him looking at me and theres something about how he looks at me that makes me think he likes me. What do you guys think? How should I go about this whole thing? thnaks
From there:
"I'm going to give you a list of what guys tend to do when they like girls:
1. They don't call you "sexy". They call you "beautiful", "gorgeous", "amazing", etc.
2. They make an effort to hug you. They might high-5 instead, but it really depends on the guy in question.
3. They DO find any reason to touch you in some way. Mostly it ISN'T in a sexual way. Its more of just an excuse to remember what you feel like, I guess. Its hard to explain...
4. He is always smiling around you. If you're feeling bad and he's around- he'll be smiling because he knows that he's there to help you- and that's like brownie points for a guy if they can help a girl out. That, like the above, is hard to explain.
5. He'll tell you things about himself that he normally wouldn't tell everyone. He opens up to you. Guys don't get a chance to do that when pressured to "be manly".
6. If you have a feeling that a guy likes you- you're probably right. Guys aren't the best at hiding it- and girls are even better at figuring these type of things out.
If you like this guy- and he does all or most of those things- my best bet is that he does like you. That means one and only one thing: Ask him to make sure, and then try the relationship out. Who knows- it could be great!"
From there:
"Life is WAY too short to not take chances and risks once in a while. Why sit around wondering what could've been, what would've been and what should've been, when you can answer all of those questions and then some by being honest and telling a boy how you really feel about him?"
So, I think if you like this boy, you should just go for it! what's the worst that can happen, he says no? That doesn't mean you can't still be friends! You're not 12 and in the whole "Oh my gosh she likes me I'm not talking to her" stage anymore ;]
If that's the only thing holding you back, then let it go. Seriously, if you both like each other this could end up being a great relationship. Provided that you're both willing to take that chance there's nothing else stopping you.
Talk to him [you're already good friends so it should be relatively easy] and try to figure out how he feels about you.
