Ok so I'm a senior in high school and I'm unsure if my best friend likes me or not. You see over christmas break I introduced him to one of my friends who he supposedly likes. However he still sends signals to me which make me think he likes me. For example before the break everyone told me that he liked me, and when I say everyone I mean Everyone (teachers, friends, parents, pastor.) Anyway so he's always doing things for me, like during the break he stopped by my work just to see me cause he missed me. He would also call at night because it helps wined him down and sleep better talking to me. Umm he always lays his head on my shoulder or puts his arm around me when we watch movies, and he gets really mad if I talk about other guys. He also tells me he wants to spend more time with my family because they mean the world to me and he wants them to like him. He's even trying to stop cursing because I don't like it. Ok so basically he's a sweetheart! Anyway naturally I started to like him. So the other night a friend confessed they had spilled about me liking him. So I called and told him I knew what had happened and that it was true I did kind of like him. He was really sweet about it and asked why I had denied it in the past and I told him I didn't see it going anywhere. He asked why and I told him because he told me my friend. He went on to tell me that things weren't really working out between them because she tells him she likes me and other she doesn't. So I started thinking well maybe he does like me. However he never said if he did or not after telling me about her he changed the subject and in hopes of not making things weird at school the following day I didn't force the conversation on him. Now I'm left wondering how he feels... does he like me? I had decided he didn't but then the next day at school he got really mad and told me I hurt him a lot because I didn't wait to walk with him to class. However he's now acting kind of weird around me. When we are together he always flirts with other girls and tells me about them. Do you think he likes me? How should I handle this situation?

He liked you!

Deffanitly,that's the same thing that happened to me

I think he might just be doing the hole flirting thing with other girls
To get a reaction out of you.

Talk to him about this whole deal

Let him know I told you I liked you and you seemed to like me too
But now you are just acting different .
If you like me tell me please, if not then things can stay the way they are now
As best friends.

Oh the drama! LOL, seriously, you two aren't even remotely dating yet and listen to yourself. You need to take a real big chill-pill, you are working yourself up over this.

Deep breaths... relax... feel better now? OK.

Dearie, he has no control over himself right now at all. How much to you want to listen to your friends/family/teachers about him and you... sounds like a LOT. How much should you? A very little.

You have his number and you see him at school, so you have all the opportunity to make one-on-one judgments about you two. Before you get all worked up over what he may or may not think/feel, why not ask him?

You're both single, technically, right? So even if he "likes" you he isn't cheating on you by liking/flirting with other girls, too. He's free to do that, same as you. Perfectly fine. Unless you change the situation and ACTUALLY start dating him and request exclusivity.

Anything other than that is just you messing with your own head.

Okay, he likes you, a lot! He's flirting with other girls to provoke a reaction, mean but that's raging hormones for you. If I were you I wouldn't confront him about it he'll deny it anyway. What you could try is asking him if he likes you enough to go out with you or if you should try to move on. That should sort him out. :~)

It sounds like he likes you.
