My friend says he doesn't like me.
Okay, I'd believe him, but here's why I don't
-He is always staring at my lips or neck or chest in a lull in the conversation
-If we aren't around his friends and just by ourselves or around strangers, he can't keep his hands off me. He'll flip my hair or tickle my neck or poke me in the leg or grab my wrist and pull me closer and act like he's gonna hurt me, or he'll grab my jacket and say "It's mine now~
And he'll tease me.
He just touches me or grabs me ALOT.
-He'll randomly pop up wherever I'm at
-Even at like, 12AM if I'm upset he's there for me. One time a guy was getting on my nerves, and he said he'd beat hell out of him if he kept at it(this could be a 'just friends' thing, I admit)
-Every morning he texts me a clever little greeting
-He delights in proving how he's bigger and stronger than me. He doesn't treat other girls like this.
-He'll flirt with my friend when I'm there, yet I asked my friend how he does when I'm not around, and he doesn't do a thing.
Looking at someone's lips and facial area when they talk is just natural - I do it all the time.
As for touching you, how long have you been friends for? Some people just have no boundary issues - they might just think that in your friendship, it is all comfortable - there is no level of being afraid or uncomfortable because you have a unique way of bonding(this bonding doesn't have to be intimate or sexual)
Some friends are just true friends - they are always going to be there for you, they will always tease you!
If he is not telling you he likes you, even after you ask - then there is a reason why he doesn't want to and that might just be because he doesnt like you..and only likes you as a friend. If you still feel that he likes you, ask him what he really thinks about you! [ toughlove's advice column | Ask toughlove A Question ]

When I was in high school, I thought one of my guy friends really liked me because he acted like it. Then I asked him and he said he didn't. It was very awkward after that.
