Question Posted Thursday September 4 2014, 9:03 am
Everyone is saying my bestfriend likes me because of the way he acts and the way he talks to me were really close and I chilled with him all weekend this weekend and actually slept in the same bed with him twice and Saturday morning after a party he tells me he was about to kiss me the night before...BUT! He was talking to a girl then and on Labor Day he asked her out.. So does he like me? Or not?
Find out where things stand and then you can tell him how you had been feeling. If you are best-friends there's no way that being truthful even if you don't wind up together will mess up that friendship. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

Because if he said yes, and you did not, then there really was no purpose to stirring something up that you are unable to follow through ob.
If he is asking other girls to date, then either he currently is only interested in you as just a friend, or he may have feelings for you but be afraid to ask if you do for fear of losing you as a friend if you don't, or for fear that he doesn't have a chance with you, because of the vibes or body language you give off. ..meaning, there's been no sign from you that you are interested to encourage him that way. You may think it and feel it in your heart but he's not a mind reader so he doesnt know. Best thing is to come out and ask, no guesswork.
Do you have any feelings for me beyond just friends? or if you are falling for him that way, then say, I feel like I am beginning to fall for you. Dont say I love you or I fell in love with you...its a message that feels threatening if the other person isn't there yet, uncomfortable that they aren't. Making it sound as the beginning of a process makes the other person feel they have wiggle room out if needed.
However, if he said he was tempted to kiss you, it could be because he is curious to see how it would feel between you. Would it feel like kissing a sister, a friend or a girlfriend.
Did you ever think that its easier for him to ask another girl out simply because he doesnt care about her and he doesnt care if she rejects him. The fear of rejection could be holding him back. Asking a girl out could be a weird way to try to make you jealous so that something happens that brings you two together...not the best way to go about it if so, it usually backfires.
The fact he asked another girl out does not mean it is a committed relationship unless in that first conversation he has promised to date only her if she accepted. Chances are he is still available to ask out if you think you can do it.
If too chicken, just think of how you will be still feeling decades from now looking back, always wondering if there could have been something together. Go for it and ask him. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
