I like my best frann!


Question Posted Tuesday August 5 2008, 12:53 am

My best friend is a guy, and he is like the best, I really really like him, but I'm not sure if he feels the same way about me =/

All my friends say its really obvious that we like each other but I've had someone ask him out for me but he said no. It didn't ruin our friendship at all, we always hang out, and everyone says we might as well go out cuz we already act like we are. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, how can I tell if he likes me? Or if he does why did he say no?

What some people may think seems 'obvious' may be a misunderstanding to others. Were your freinds saying this before he said no the first time? Perhaps he's just really friendly like that. It's good that you guys didn't let that get in between your freindship, though.

But did you guys talk about why he said no last time? That might help a little. You may not know if it's because you didn't ask him out directly, or because he just wanted to stay freinds for the sake of the friendship or what. It'd be the best thing to do to get things straightened up with him before you try anything else.

If you can't hint around it, flat out ask him: "Why didn't you want to date last time?" If things weren't awkward last time, it should be fine now. And if things DO get awkward, it'll last what, five minutes? Just change the subject afterwards, and it'll all be fine.

Once you know why he said no last time, see if the situation is still the same this time around. Improve on the things that he said seemed to be wrong, I guess, and see where things go from there.

Just try not to go by what your friends say. While they may be very observant and smart, they can't really tell exactly what this guy's thinking. It's really common for guys and girls who are best friends to act like they're dating, so you should verify everything beforehand.

There isn't any for sure way to tell if he likes you. All guys are different, and it varies from guy to guy. Little things like lingering hugs, sitting closer, trusting you with secrets, not talking about other girls to you, seeming upset when you talk about boys would be little signs, but remember, they're not always certain. Talking to him will always be the best route to follow, because you'll hear everything directly. And if you have to, hint around things. It's usually pretty easy. (:

Just try to go with what I'd said earlier, and see where things go after that. I'd recommend for the next time that you ask him out, if that happens, that YOU do it, though. Confidence is something guys are REALLY into.

Good luck, and let me know if you need anything else/how things work out.

XOXO
KAT.

He is your best friend , are you his best friend?
You always hang out, isn't that going out ?
If he hangs out with you he must like something about you. Maybe he does not want to get in a relationship at this point.Give it time if its meant to be it will happen.

Maybe right now, he only wants to be your firend because he might like your friendship with eachother more than he would if you were going out. He might not want to risk losing your friendship if you break up or something. You can ask one of your friends to ask him if he likes you and see or you can ask him yourself but that might be a little emabarrising. Well anyways, i hope this helps!

He might have said no because someone else asked and he wanted you to do it yourself. Also, he might not have been interested in you that way.


It's possible that you're meant to be best friends, and nothing more. Both of you might just be the naturally flirtatious type =]
