Hi, a good friend says,' I'm only winding you up' while we're talking. He looks at my eyes and says with smiles, 'Oh, look at those eyes' coz I reckon I look really grumpy when he winds me up. Says, 'I thought you knew me, you should have known me by now' and 'I reply to him, I do know you.' I feel like he likes me and I like him too in a tiny amount. He's bought me a lunch once while we're at the college break and we just sat in the canteen and had it. He offers me a biscuits or chewing gum or chocolate if he's brought one with him. We both can be moody at times but we always have a laugh in the end. So, what's going on with him? Is he just messing about or truly likes me?? Help!! Thank you

Dragonflymagic answered Monday March 20 2017, 2:42 am: I've never heard the phrase 'winding a person up'. Perhaps that is something that is regional in the US. But saying you're grumpy, maybe it means to him that he is trying to cheer you up? I think there are parts of the conversation missing so when you switch to him saying, I thought you knew me by now, the parts missing are the things you said. Could there be something in the tone of your voice, your facial expressions, body language that is giving him the idea that you do not know him well. What is it you did not know that he is referring to. You don't have to answer me. If you can answer those questions you may have your answer. I can not tell you if he likes you as a girlfriend to date, but the fact he comes back and enjoys hanging out with you, he at least likes you as a friend. Guys don't waste their time even for a female friend if they do not like you as a person. Whether there is romantic attraction in addition, I can not say. If you like him as a friend, theres no problem, so continue to be friends and see where it goes in the future. Lots of solid fulfiling long term relationships have started first with friendship and moved on to romance or had both at the start. If only one or the other, its not enough to have a successful relationship. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
