How do I get him to like me?


Question Posted Saturday December 14 2013, 12:03 am

There's a boy in my class named Brian. He always sits with me and my friends and makes jokes and always makes me laugh. He always pokes and tickles me in the side a lot, pretends to take my stuff and just mess with me, and recently I've started to like him. I always can't wait to get to school to see him and talk to him. One day he was telling me how much he liked my best friend (she doesn't like him) (she doesn't sit with us) I felt crushed when he said that but didn't say anything. I also get mad with another "friend" making fun of me and saying if he did like me, he'd just want to sleep with me. I don't want to ask him out because I'm afraid that he'll hate me and not want to be around me anymore. How can I get him to like me? (Btw I'm almost 16)

If you want him to like you, be yourself. I'm not just another one of those "type" of people either. I'm just saying if your not yourself and you start going out you still have to act like that person your pretending to be.. Now thats hard right?

Well you can't make anyone like you. It sucks, but it's the truth.
But lucky for you, it does sound like he is at least a little bit interested in you because most guys don't poke and tickle you if they weren't attracted to you.
So my suggestion is to be completely confident with yourself. Wear things you feel and look great in. If you wear make up, make it look natural and pretty. Just do things that make you feel good about yourself. Obviously, don't overdo either of these things. You don't want to look sleazy by wearing skimpy or too tight clothes or caking on make up.
Talk to him when you see him. Smile and say hi. Wear that confidence and he'll be even more attracted to you. Become closer to him as a friend and you can invite him out with a few of your other friends to go to see a movie or bowling or something. If he's into your best friend, then you might want to talk to her about it first and make sure she won't make him think he has a chance with her or something.
If you guys get along then, then you can decide what you want to do from there. If you want to tell him you like him, then do that. If you want to ask him to hang out with just the two of you, if he says yes, then he's definitely into you.

In the end, if he just doesn't like you, there's nothing you can really do about it but find someone else. If you're afraid he'll hate you then he doesn't sound like a very nice guy and I don't know why you'd want to be with him in the first place.

If he doesn't already see you as someone he likes romantically, it might not happen. There is nothing you can do to make someone like you unless you become someone you're not. Which is a terrible idea. If you are yourself around him and he doesn't like that, then you should be looking elsewhere.
Just be the friend he sees in you for now. Who knows? Maybe he will get over your friend and see you as more simply because you are such good friends. Just don't try too hard because then you can come off desperate. That can be a turn off or he will just see you as someone he could potentially sleep with. You deserve better than that, so maybe just don't focus too much on that right now.
