Does he like me?

Question

I have a friend who I like, and he acts as if he likes me. Other people have commented on it too. He's a bit of a shy boy, so it would take a lot for him to say something. A few weeks ago he seemed to be avoiding me, so I emailed him about it. It took him ages to reply but eventually he said that he values my friendship but 'didn't want to give me any other impression'. I told him he shouldn't worry about it, and since then he's gone back to normal, acting like he likes me. What are the chances that he actually does like me? I think one of his friends likes me, so maybe he's not saying anything because of him. How crazy am I being?

Answer 1

well for starters, you're not crazy at all. but it seems to me that he is a VERY flirty person, but isn't meaning anything serious by it. this may be hard, but you may have to full-on confront him about it if it really starts to bother you. just let it all out in the open and tell him how you feel and what you're wondering.

hope this helps and good luck!!!

Answer 2

I suggest that you back off a little bit and let him has his breathing space. That is what he wants. That is why he was avoiding you. He may have felt a little bit uncomfortable. Respect the fact that he values your friendship and keep it at that. Don't push it beyond that, otherwise you will probably scare him off and you will lose him as a friend as well.

Don't stick to one guy. Try making other guy friends as well. That you will get your mind off of the one guy

Answer 3

You aren't being crazy at all! I'm in a similar situation as you, so this all really makes sense. I believe that if he says that he values your friendship, it's because he really doesn't want to hurt you or lose you. The chances that he likes you are at a fifty/fifty chance. What you need to ask yourself is: do i value his friendship, or do i wnat a relationship?

Answer 4

Yo is too eager, too anxious and yo is jumpin' tha gun! He's not that shy, either, so don't be makin' excuses, sayin' he's shy. That's why he's avoiding you is b/c you're chasin' after him. You're too imapatient, ....in his mind. He's not ready.... for what you're ready for. Unnerstand hon??!! Guys go slower than girls; they like to take their time..... assuming that he cares for you. He wants the relship to build slowly and not rush into anything. Which is good and shows he has good character. You could possibly be right about him not pursuing you b/c of his friend's interest in you. But still, if he cared for you that much, he'd compete for you with the friend. Take your time. Don't expect too much too soon.

Answer 5

your not crazy at all;) boys = Confusing! he probably likes flirting with u! the reason why he took forever to answer u in ur email was probably bc he was thinking of what to say without hurting your feelings ^_^ sorry:(

Answer 6

Well i think that he might like you and if you're not sure then just be staright up with him ask him if he does because the fact is if he doesn't like you then you get over him and start likeing someone elese and if he does then maybe he'll ask you out

Answer 7

If Billy doesn't have the confidence to come over and talk, then he isn't getting any.

It's my personal opinion if a guy can't go out and get himself a relationship, then he isn't worthy of one.

Answer 8

he probably does like you, but is just scared to admit it and is probably scared that it might ruin you guy's friendship.
let him know that whenever happens. nothing bad will happen

Answer 9

Push it aside & move on.
