Question Posted Wednesday September 11 2013, 1:48 am
ok so i became friends with this guy a few weeks ago before school started. I sort of admitted to myself Thursday/Friday that i liked him. I think he was flirting with me today, I'm not sure.
So i was on my way to 3rd period (music) when i felt someone shove my backpack not in a rude way but like a "I want your attention!" sort of way. i turned around and saw him, he smiled/waved and took a different route to the same class. and he poked me a few times.
But today at lunch i was walking with him to lunch and we sat down with out friends. I left for a little bit with a girl friend to talk and came back and he was gone. I asked his friend where he went and he said he thought my crush went to go find us. I was sitting down and felt a pair of hands around my waist and squeeze gently. Causing me to squeak. I turned around and he was laughing/smiling at me. He was standing next to the group but next to me more particularlly.
So does he like me? Or flirting? I don't know, Advice would be appreciated!

He's definitely flirting with you, and while some guys can't help but to flirt with every girl, it sounds like this one has it out for you. ;) As long as you don't see him doing those things with every girl in the area, I think it's safe to say he's diggin' ya'!
Ahh, I remember those days. What a happy feeling you have, I'm sure. :) Be smart though. If you get into a relationship with a boy, it's important not to forget your girlfriends or your school work. And unless you're married and wanting children, you shouldn't be sleeping together.
I've been around the block a time or two, so I'm going to tell you (and you won't want to hear this) high school relationships, while they may feel like the best thing ever and you may think you'll graduate together and get married and have this grand amazing life together, and that's fine, just remember, there's only like a 2% chance that will actually happen.
So like I said, focus on things that will always matter; your friends, your grades, and while it's okay to have a boyfriend, don't let him push you into anything you might regret. Don't lose yourself while getting sucked into the crazy emotions of first loves, is what I'm trying to say. :)
May God bless you, your school work and help you to keep your head on straight while boys are making it dizzy. :P <3

This is the stage at which a person is letting the other person know they like them...at least enough to get to know them better and the only way to do that is to hang out a lot together and start dating...not the go out to dinner and movies only but spending more quality time together.
Flirting is one of the signs that someone likes you and is done by what a person says to you, facial expressions such as winking, and touching such as in poking at your backpack or putting his hands on your waist.
Body language is a big one, they made great efforts to get close to you. When any person is approached by someone, we either let them into that magical circle around us that no one can see but we can feel their presence, or if they get too close and we don't like them, we take a couple steps back. If a person comes to stand at arms length away, it is a position where its easy for either of you to reach out and touch the other, considered a vulnerable position unless you trust and really like the other. I will attach links to an article on body language and one on how girls can flirt by breaking the touch barrier. He's done it with you, so if you like him, its your turn to reciprocate.
What can you say to him? Something like; " I like it when you hang around me, I was thinking it might be nice to get to know each other better as friends." And if you're comfortable enough add this last piece. "And we can see where it naturally goes from there." None of it puts any pressure on him or sounds like you have expectations but lets him know you like his attention so that will encourage him to move ahead with you.
