What do you do when someone tells you this boy likes you and you don’t really know if he does and it would be awkward if you just went up to the guy and said. “ hey do you like me”
Dragonflymagic answered Thursday May 9 2019, 10:33 pm: At your age, there are too many girls who want to play match maker and this desire is so strong that they may see something in a guy that they are misinterpreting. Lets say you colored your hair or did something out of the normal for you that could make people who happen to see you, take a second glance, and if he did, they might believe that since he stared so long that he was interested when he was just staring at something that caught his attention. I get that when I change something up, new hairstyle, new glasses frames, wearing a style of clothes that I never wear, etc.
Just because they told you, doesnt mean is it true. Now if they said this boy walked up to one of your friends and told them that he likes you, then there may be truth in it.
But consider this, if a guy was too chicken to approach you to try to be friends because he likes you, then he'd probably not have the guts to confess it to your friends either.
The real question is, would you be happy if he was interested in you that way? Are you already crushing on him? If so, and both of you are too chicken to make a move, then nothing will ever happen. SO if You are interested, try first to befriend him because that is a heck of a lot less scary than point blank asking someone if they like you. It rather awkward for one thing and really kind of weird too. Can you imagine some guy at school you don't really know walking up to you and the first thing he says if "Do you like me?" It puts you off guard not knowing where that thought came from and not having a clue how to answer him.
Liking a guy like a close or best friend is one of the things important in successful long term or life long couples, married or not. So if you simply trying talking to him and if you need ideas on how to talk to guys, its not much different than girls but some of the interests may differ. Although what is safe is discussing favorite music, bands, favorite genre for movies, and the type of books you both like and you can branch out from there. Walking up to him without having started with a Hi Tim, how are you today, and just asking, whats your favorite music, will be as odd and awkward as asking if he likes you. Learn how to approach people and start conversations is a must here. So if you are interested in him, and want to start a friendship but are stuck on how to talk to him, just let me know and if you know a few things about him, have seen him playing basketball, riding a bike, know he's an only child or has siblings, anything you know, even if its just from school, will give me more constructive ideas to help you with.
