I like a guy who goes to my church. We talk on Myspace every Sunday night after youth group; sometimes he starts the conversation and sometimes I do. We don't talk much in person because we are both socially inept, but when we see each other at youth group he always says hi, and if we have to be in groups he always asks me if I want to be in his (I am new to youth group) and we maybe say a few words to each other. Also we have never hung out. But we have really great and funny conversations online and I talk with him about things I don't talk to everyone about, like my beliefs, and we have a ton in common. So is he a friend or acquaintance or somewhere in between?

If you have to ask, he's an acquaintance.
You might have potential for friendship, but you aren't there yet.

Well, I would probably say he is an acquaintance becoming a friend. It seems like he is a really nice funny guy, but maybe just a bit shy. Break the ice. At your church when you guys are in a group, start up a conversation. If he continues the conversation, you guys will porbably be great friends. If he says nothing or very little, I would consider him just an acquaintance...and keep him that way. My final comment- get to know him better...in person. You guys might become great friends.

You and him are totally in between you are acquaintances in public and friends on-line, but you both seem to want more from each other. But just because someone is one way on-line doesn't always mean that they are like that face to face. One of you needs to work up the courage and try and hang somewhere else besides youth group or on-line. This could be the start of something great for you!!

Somewhere in between, but I'd suggest you pursue an in-person friendship, even if you are both "socially inept." The way you get over that is by talking with people, and you already know that you and this boy have a lot in common. Good luck.

Starting off as friends. Don't try to read anything into it. Just learn to be friends, put your trust and faith in God and he will do the rest if it is his will.
Nobody can have too many friends and they are very much needed this day and age. The fact that you two have a lot in common and can talk about many things is wonderful.
One of these days, just ask him if he'd like to go for a coke and burger sometime and see what happens but until then, enjoy what you have now and relax.

At the moment from what you describe he's an acquaintance. But he's slowly becoming a friend. But I'm pretty sure he wants to be more than just friends. Maybe he'll ask you out.

he's somewhere in between until you can talk more in person and maybe hang out a little bit outside of church activities.

Umm...well it sounds like you want to be more than friends, but you avoid eachother in person. I think you should just talk with him more in person before you decide if he's your bf, your friend, or your acquaintance.

It seems that this guy is probally waiting for you-he probally thinks that if you like him that somehow YOU are to make the move.Get a friend to ask him or ask him yourself.He might actually like you.

I'd say it seems like he's a friend, just not necessarily a very close one. But really, it just depends on what you see him as. If you think of him as a friend, he's a friend.

there are three types of people
- people for life - friends for ever
- experience people - show you a moral
- 5 second people - there just when they need you
it's your destiny to find out whether this gut is one of those three people and then you'll know whether this is a sign or just a coincidence.
