GilbertMar answered Tuesday July 8 2008, 7:38 pm: Tell me, how do you know when a girl likes you? It's not any different really. If he has said more then hi to you then you know all you need to, he is friendly. Just keep being friendly to him, but I suggest you stay away from asking him, "Do you like me". What is a person suppose to say to that? Also, it puts pressure on a person to preform, I'm not sure you can understand what I mean by that, but it sends mixed signals.
When I was young, a bit older then you, 17 to be exact, I started to go out with a girl who was a bit shy too, but at 17 she had started to be able to deal with that better and she actually approached me first. I hadn't been going out with her long when a guy named Rich came up to me with a warning. "Be careful with her, she'll have you married to her inside of two weeks". He was referring to her jumping the gun a bit and saying things she was best off keeping to herself. (By the way, I asked this young girl to marry me inside of a year and we are still married after 30 years.)
The thing you need to remember is, that at your age you know so little about yourself and others. You need to learn to handle things one step at a time. Learn how to be friends with boys and girls. Learn what you like about yourself and learn what you like about each individual person you decide to call a friend. Most important, learn how to rid yourself of those you decide you don't like. That is one of the most challenging thing in life, how do you get rid of those around you that are not good for you.
One last thing, I will give you a piece of knowledge that most females never come to understand; the vast majority of men don't do hints well. You have to make it clear to us or the next time you say, "I would like something shinny for my birthday", he'll bring you a set of stainless steel pots and pans, not that diamond ring you had your eye on.

From there:
"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."
As far as what you should do about it, you don't have many options if you don't want to hang out or call him. I guess you can talk online, but that's about it? I really think you should just tell him you like him. What's the worst that can happen? He says no. Big Deal! You're 13 and have your whole life for guys!
