I have this crush on this guy and everybody thinks he likes me back, like he acts all sweet around me and all my friends say that he acts like a jerk around them ok the thing is that he always acts like a jerk( he is always over sarcastic) but he acts like a normal guy around me! He is also really shy and i think that he is too shy too ask me anything so that is why my guy friend who has a crush on me so he asked me to dance. my crush got all jealous looking and i felt bad.before i started dancing i gave him chances like talking to hi on the dance floor and he was TOTALLY flirting he just didnt ask me... i gave him lots of chances but i really like him and i am too shy to make the first move. i dont want to hurt my guy friend either so if nothing happens betwen me and my crush soon i might have to give my guy friend a chance...

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.
Your crush may be shy, but maybe that means you could make a move?
Well, there are 2 major options you can go about to solve this problem:
1. Be blunt about it.
2. Be shy about it.
I highly suggest being blunt about it, and either asking him if he's into you too, or simply asking him out yourself. Guys like when girls show confidence, and there's no better way to show you're confident than walking up to a guy and asking him out!
Or, you can go the other route and be shy about it, possibly doing nothing to show him you're interested in him. Sometimes, people who use this method drop subtle hints such as smiling [which is common in girls and doesn't always show you're into a guy] or having a friend ask if he's into you [this only shows that you're too shy to do it yourself]. This option is really kind of stupid, and is used all too much...
As I always say:
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?

but i wouldnt give your guyfriend a chance if you dont like him. but the guy you DO like i would talk to him and just start a really good conversation and then just kind of bring up the subject of a relationship. i know how it is like girls dont like to ask guys out, trust me thats how i am too.
but if you really want to make it work i think you 2 should talk about it
hope i helped! [ MrsCarter's advice column | Ask MrsCarter A Question ]

It may just be that you are more intelligent than your friends, and he know that you would appreciate a nice guy more thank a jerk-type, so that's what he presents. This is a good thing - kudos for being a smart person. That being said, if you like him, you should probably ask him to hang out alone sometime soon. Take a chance.
