There is this guy I like and we grew up together from diapers. We were best friends. Then we grew apart. Well, now he is back in my life. We go to church together and I caught him staring at me.(that happens a lot) One day I asked him point blank if he liked me and he said he couldn't answer that because he has a girlfriend and it wouldn't be fair to her. What does this mean? Does he like me or is that his polite way of saying go away? Help!!
kristamikele answered Wednesday March 11 2009, 3:12 pm: He probably does like you, but beware because he sounds a little like a player. By him telling you that it wouldn't be fair to his girlfriend, he is letting you know he likes you and impressing you at the same time because you will think "wow, what a great guy, he's loyal to his girlfriend." This may just be a ploy. You will have to use your detective skills to find out if he's just a player.
1. Does he act the same when she is around?
2. Does he flirt with you, do you think he would cheat on her with you?
I'm not saying he's definately a jerk, but just don't fall for that whole, "It wouldn't be fair to my girlfriend," routine. He may just be testing the waters to see if you would be down to be the other girl. In which case, the answer should definately be "no."
It could also be that he likes you, but he's not sure if you like him and he doesn't want to break up with his girlfriend for nothing. The best thing for you to do is to play it cool. Try not to pay him much attention, and let him know that you aren't the kind of girl who wants a guy who belongs to someone else-you need your man to give you all of his attention. He will know that you respect yourself and don't settle for less than you deserve, and it will make him like you all the more. Guys always want a girl who knows how to play it cool.

If he had said "I have a girlfriend" and only that (w.out saying "i can't answer because of it wouldn't be fair to her" meaning she'd be upset w. his answer.....him liking YOU not her) then it woulda been a little different. But the fact that he said that makes me 99.9% sure that he likes you.
and if he stares a lot, that means he likes what he sees.

Don't feel you have to rush him. Keep talking and be subtle. If you both like each other things will eventually click. Try to have alot of fun and don't worry about it. Let nature take it's course!
