so i just graduated high school and i have been really good friends with this guy since the summer of my freshman year. i never had really looked at him as more than a friend until graduation when he gave me a hug my heart just sank. he's given me many hugs before but this one was different. like i can't describe it. and after i broke up with my ex a few weeks ago i realized what i truly want in a boyfriend and he has all those qualities. the thing is that i'm afraid he won't be interested since we've been such good friends for so long. i'll see him this weekend at a grad party and i'm definetly not telling him i have feelings for him. no balls to do that whatsoever haha. but how can i hint it here and there? i don't want to get hurt, but i want to know what he thinks. i guess like flirt a little and see how he reacts? idk any advice would help me. thankss! :)

How do you know he wouldn't be interested? Maybe he thinks you are a perfect girlfriend since he's known you for so long. Hint that you like him by flirting with him. Touch his arm, his leg, wink at him, play with his hair, look into his eyes when he is talking to you, and always smile. Flirting or asking him is the only way you will know how he feels about you. If you are worried about being hurt in a realationship, let him know you would like to take things slow after you two become closer. His body language is another key thing that will let you know how he is feeling about you. If he does any of the flirty things I mentioned above to you, he likes you. Or if he touches his hair, stares into your eyes, is fidgity, and has trouble talking (mumbling kind of or talks slow), then he definately likes you. Just go for it. Flirt, talk to him (say 'I like how you ______ to me' or 'We should do this again sometime'), be yourself, and believe me... you will know if he likes you ;) [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
