Okay, so there's this guy. He's really nice and funny and sweet. I met him at a camp and we really connected. He made an extra effort just to say something to me everyday. He always seemed interested in what I was saying. He even decided that his nickname for me was "wifey". We have so much in common! And he even gave me hugs when we saw each other. Well, one day, I was in the bathroom when a girl came up to me. She asked me "Do you like him?" I didn't know what to say. Whether to trust her or not. So I said no. She responded "Oh, well I have this thing where I like to hook people up but this never happened okay?" That suggested to me that he liked me and wanted to ask me out but was too shy to do it himself. Camp ended and I got his number. We text and there have been more instances where I was pretty sure he liked me. But, I found out he has a girlfriend! I don't know if they have broken up, but I don't think they have! Oh great, now I'm hopelessly crushing over him just to find out he's taken! What should I do? Maybe he's just the flirty type?

For all you know, the other girl could be his best friend but not a romantic interest. You won't know anything until you get a chance to ask.
For a guy to hug a girl and come up with nicknames is something a guy does when he is truly interested in her. Hoe did you find out he has a girlfriend? Are you or someone else who's seen him, assuming that he has a girlfriend? You text him. So one of these times, mention the other girl. If you know her name give it, Hey I notice Lisa around you a lot. Are the two of you just friends or dating?
If he says no, then let him know that some of the things he does, makes you think he might have some interest in you. Is that true?
If he says he is dating the other girl. tell him the same thing, that some of the things he does make you think he might have some interest in you. By doing those things he is sending mixed messages. He may not be aware that he shouldn't be doing those things if he is naturally friendly.
Hope that helps [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
