how do you know a guy likes you? i'm not all that pretty (like at all, i got glasses and zits). but there's this boy i like. he's not very popular, tall and lanky, plays the trombone. but very outgoing. we';re friends, and he always chooses to be next to me and puts me on his team (when we're playing sports with the other teenagers). and all, but how do i know if he likes me. please don't be sarcastic or say "just ask him". i'm 15 and he's almost `15, but he looks 16. we have another frien Liz, the 3 of us are a trio. once she just came up to me and said "this is one of those weird and wacky questions i ask sometimes, but if david asked you out would you go with him?" and after i answered (with a maybe, cause i didn't really want to tell her, the only ones that know i like him are my sibs). she just walked away. a clue? he doesn't tease me, and he always nice and respectable and holds the door open and smiles alot. i really like him, but how do i know if he likes me?

He may very well like you. My advise would be to ask him to do something without the third member of your trio. You are young, you have plenty of time. Maybe see if he would like to catch a movie or go to the park or something. If you can spend some time with him outside of school you will have more luck getting into his heart.

The problem with being a teenager is generally you don't have a clue what you're feeling, let alone what other teenagers are feeling. And the only way you will know for sure is to ask him (which, duh, you said not to reply with).
So, I'm going to suggest you try flirting with him. Try touching his arm once in a while when you're saying hello or bye. Try smiling at him and looking away quickly, and then looking back.
And if all else fails, just go to him and say, "Listen, I think you're cute. I like you. Do you want to go to the movies some time?" Odds are, he's going to be so surprised that he'll say yes.
Good luck!

First of all never say that your not pretty. Your acne is just something that every teenager goes through, some worse than others, but it dose not make you ugly one bit. Secondly, this guy sounds really nice. Believe me when I say that looks are not what always counts. Its about who you are in the inside. If you are beautiful inside you are gorgeous on the outside. Don't rush things with this guy. Appreciate his friendship. There is no need to find out if he likes you cause you already know he likes you as a friend. If something progresses to more than just friends, then take it from there. Good luck =)

No matter what you look like, there is always someone out there who finds you attractive -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. Having glasses and zits does not make you unattractive, so don't be so hard on yourself! It sounds like this guy and you have a good time with one another and have a decent friendship. It is very likely that he would be interested in you! From the actions you descibe, it does seem as though he likes you.
Try to feel confident in yourself! Realize that him and your other friends CHOOSE to hang out with you based upon your awesome personality! Realize that you are worth other people's attention and time, just as other people are worth yours!
I would enjoy the "flirtation" period you seem to have with your new found interest for a little bit. It seems that you guys are progressing towards a small romance. Good luck!

Have you noticed how he acts around other girls, like your friend Liz? If he acts differently around you that could be a clue. But it really sounds to me like he does like you. You could try doing things like touch his arm or something. The silly things about boys and girls and dating, are that the boys don't want to make a move unless they know for sure the girl will say yes. And girls like to play hard to get so they know the boy likes them for real, and not just because she liked him first. I say, take a chance. Or ask your friend Liz why she asked if you would go out with him? Who cares if you think you are pretty, it's not all about looks, especially if you are a great person!

High School guys are really weird about asking girls out sometimes, so if he likes you he may not even let you know. He's probably afraid of being rejected, just like you are. Ask him to go hang out with you at the mall or the movies or something-just as friends. Try to hang out with him more as a duo not a trio. Also, find out if he likes any other girls. Find out what his type is. You may get your answer without even having to tell him you like him.

1st- Don't insult yourself, before he can like you, you need to like you and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
2nd- He sounds like a very respectful young man. So who cares what anyone else thinks. If you try to impress other people you will only lie to yourself and end up hurting you!! Trust me, I know!!
3rd- Does he ever invite you anywhere? I mean just you, not you and ur friend.
If you are afraid to ask urself (if he likes you) have a friend ask. Does he flirt with you? The only for sure way to know though is to ask or have someone else ask for you. Rejection stings for a bit but it makes the heart stronger. Have faith in urself and it'll turn out alright!! Good luck!

Hmm, its sounds like at the very least he enjoys your friendship and being around you. If he doesn't have much experience with girls, it may be difficult for him to move towards anything more serious. Fear of rejection and the possible loss of your friendship may not make it worth risking anything further. My advice is to keep spending time with him. If and when your feelings are reciprocated or when he builds up the courage to tell you how he feels, either verbally or in some other way, you'll know.

I don't know if he is just friend nice or trying to get with you nice. It obviously doesn't matter what you look like, I have glasses and pimples too but I think I am still hot! Well my pimples have died down now that I am a tad older. Anyway why don't you invite him to hang out one night. Then see if he invites your other friend Liz or anyone else or ask you if you invited anyone. If not then he wants to hang out with just you and him. I would tell your friend Liz what you are doing or she might feel like she got left out.

Please do not think of yourself as "not pretty at all" because you have glasses and zits. Sometimes the best part of growing up is the flirting that goes on between friends...
He seems like a decent guy... so just know that guys are really clueless when it comes to girls so he might need a little help.
