Little confused with my guy mate?!
Hi, what does it mean when the guy mate says, "i like you too much" over a minor situation. We do joke and flirt back and forth. Could someone help? Short and simple answers please. Thanks ever so much!

I recall when me and a buddy of mine at college were talking to these two girls we'd just met, and one of the girls was being particularly witty and fun; I kept turning to my pal and saying, "I like her so much."
She and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year.
Now, I'm not saying that "I like you too much" is a prelude to marriage, but it IS a compliment! Take it as his way of saying that you're fun to be around and he enjoys your company. And, there may be something deeper there too, but that's something you'll need to find out for yourself.

There's no explanation that can be offered because we don't know the full situation, his feelings, nor yours. You know him better than all of us, if you're not sure what he means by that then the only way to know is to ask him. Maybe he's not really a friend and he's just trying to act like you're just friends, but don't think too much into it and lose a friendship over a suspicion. It's a cliche, but the only way to know for sure is to ask him - maybe it's a misunderstanding.

Is there some real reason why 'liking you too much' is a problem has to be my first line of enquiry? Either of you married or have a serious partner? Awkward age gap? Backgrounds appear too different? A working relationship which would make things awkward if you didn't click, or alternatively, awkward if you DO? If there isn't a genuine reason, or a perceived reason you could work through or around, then you might well suggest there's no such thing as liking someone too much the next time the phrase appears and put him on the spot. Assuming you like the idea of giving it a try yourself. If there are real reasons why you shouldn't then it could be a tactful way of keeping things (meaning YOU) at arms length, at least at present. If there are no such reasons, I should say that he's looking for a positive affirmation from you that you are up for being 'liked' plenty!
