Does he want to be more?


Question Posted Monday March 22 2010, 3:21 pm

Hi, I'm fifteen and female. Like most girls, I have a guy best friend, he has been my friend since 3rd grade, I am now in 10th grade as is he. He's my everything, I got to him with every single problem and he helps me and everything is fine if I handle it the way he tells me. I think I can honestly say he knows everything about me, I talk to him on the phone, I text him practically every night, but we don't hang out outside of school, I know you're probably thinking "if your best friends, why are you only together in school?" I don't really know the answer to that. He is in three of my periods in school, first one is band, the other lunch and the last, history. His guy friends are in band so we don't talk to each other then. In lunch, I bring him his favorite pack of crackers because he loves them, he always smiles and is happy when I have them for him. Then, there's history, I suck in that class and he always helps me, I could text him at 11.3o on a school night to ask for help on the homework and he will answer me. He's just the best. He makes me happy. He used to like a girl that did not treat him right and I did not like her one bit, after things cooled down between them I told him I didn't like her and he said "I really appreciate you looking out for me. We're only friends now, I'm over her." and I was sooo happy. Everyone in my high school says he likes me. My closest friends they can tell just in the way he looks at me, you can see in the eyes when they're looking at someone they really care about. He normally never starts conversations but in the last few we've had, he started them. He plays songs on his guitar for me when I'm sad because he knows I like that but he's still to afraid to sing in front of me. He also writes songs on his guitar, he sent me one and it's about knowing that these 2 people were meant to be together, it was adorable, I asked him who it was about and he said he writes his songs about his friends because nothing ever happens in his life. He tells me some things he doesn't even tell his guy best friend about his brother. He wears one of my fun bandz rubber band animals, he said he wears it all the time, even in front of his guy friends and that says a lot, even though the night before he was going on and on about how much he hates bracelets. I also got him to go to a dance, after about 20 texts of me saying I really want him there, he came and sat at my table with me and his friends. Lastly, he kinda suffers with low confidence and such so he can get kind of depressed, he has this girl who likes him a lot but he didn't have the heart to tell her that he doesn't feel the same so he had me do it. What does that mean? Did he want me to know for sure that he doesn't like her? So, do you think he likes me? Thanks!

Okay first of all, him telling you to tell the girl that he didn't feel the same way about her is not an indication that he likes you or a way for telling you that he likes you, it just sounds to me like he's a really kind person, so he didn't want to hurt the girl by telling her personally.

Second of all, you two sound like really good friends, and you sound like your pretty tight and close together, but nothing of what you said gives an indication to whether he might like you or not, cause it might be just actions that best friends do, and i mean, you've known each other for so long, so he's so used to you ,and you share everything together and stuff, so you became like a one person. But i can't tell you if he has feelings for you or not, and all you can do is to wait and see, if he has feelings he'll show more obvious signs or he'll tell you, but for now, you can't ask him or hint around, cause if he's not feeling anything, then that might cause problems in your friendship.

Third of all, even if he likes you, do you like him? I mean do you have feelings for him as a date? or Is it just because you think he might like you, so the excitement makes you start to think that you might like him back? cause sometimes when you get together, you start feeling that things changed, and you start missing when you were friends and you think that you were better off as friends. So its not really easy, its a change, cause if things don't work out, and you try to get back as just being friends, it might be complicated then.

Just stop over thinking about it, and let things happen when their time comes to happen, and if your meant to be together, you will be, let things fall to place on their own, and for now, continue to be happy with such an amazing friend like him, such a friend doesn't exist everyday, he sounds pretty great and he sounds like he really cares for you, so don't lose him.

Hope i helped, if you need any other help, please be free to contact me. Best of luck.
